About Your Supplier

We buy our jewelry from several large wholesale suppliers scattered around the country. In addition, we buy insurance subrogation items and take advantage of other great buys in the marketplace. Often these purchases are made at 10 to 12 cents on the dollar, and even after adding a margin to these prices; we are able to offer incredible pricing to our customers. Typically, retail stores have a 200% to 400% markup, and you can compare this to our practice of selling at 50% to 75% below retail.

Our business is based on dealing with the same customers time and time again. Therefore, reputation means everything to us. A typical retail jewelry store often tells a customer anything without regard to accuracy because the retail store views that sale as a one-time transaction. But when you deal with the same people, or group of people, over and over as we do, our word, products and services, as well as our grading, have to be beyond question.

Our main supplier is a company that is over 30 years old and is run by individuals with a combined total of over 100 years of experience in the jewelry industry. One of these people has 39 years of experiences, including serving as vice-president of a major jewelry chain before forming his own company.
