Purchasing

    1.                 Will you sell retail to me? Are you open to the public?
      No. We are strictly wholesale only.  We choose not to compete with our customers (retail stores), so please visit your local retail store or gem show.
    2.                 What does wholesale mean?
      Wholesaling is the selling of goods in large quantities to be retailed or resold by others. It does not include personal purchases not intended for resale.
    3.                 What do I need in order to buy at the show?
      You need a current and correct state-issued resale license and must fill out an appropriate resale certificate based on the location of purchase. Since we are selling wholesale, we do not collect tax from you and this form provides for that exemption from state sales tax. A Federal EIN number pertains to employment taxes and is meaningless in this regard.
    4.                 Can I bring a friend?
      You, as the customer, are responsible for anyone who accompanies you to purchase from us. It is our intention to only sell for resale, so please do not bring people looking to purchase for their own personal use.
