I have a website selling loose gemstones, there is about 30,000 stones on there.
The question is some customers want the stone set in jewelry eg, rings, braclets, earring etc.
Is anyone here interested in setting the jewelry.
I am based in the UK, but if delivery postage etc. Is fast enough i dont think there should be a problem from jewelry designers from other parts of the world.
What are you thoughts, any input will be highly appreciated.
Unless you are looking to have a wholesale relationship with someone where you send a quantity of stones to be set in findings that you also send, you might be better off finding someone local to develop a relationship with to do this work. If you want to have your stones set in a piece that was designed by someone, they will most likely want to have some sort of interaction with the customer. This is just my opinion, others may have entirely different ideas. I hope that you hear from them. Good luck…Rob
Right i have been trying to look for local jewelers to set the stones, but didn’t find anyone in the local area that was interested in this.
Also no one gave me a reason why they were not interested in this, been asking around a few jewelery makers shops since i received your reply to this post, hence the late reply.
So back to the same position as before i think, with regards to jewelry makers, also cant send a a few stones, it can only be 1 stone at a time, regarding talking to customer via jewelry setter this can probably be done.
But would be easier, as customers just want some sample eg. Ring designs, that they can choose from, then ring material eg. Gold or silver.
