I'm interested in importing jewellery (I'm guessing from India and China) and was wondering if anyone else has done this and has any advice on it.
I also have a couple of concerns regarding quality of items, and authenticity, I mean, just how do you know if you buy from the other side of the world that what you are getting is sterling silver and not plated/not even silver at all?
I have a colleague who has bought a job lot of jewellery from China, and she intends to sell it on ebay, but I have had a look at it and am not certain that it is sterling - even though it has a 925 mark on it (it doesn't look convincing to me!). How do you know what to trust?
Also, has anyone any idea of what is realistic pricing for silver jewellery from the far east - some of what I have seen seems to be quite cheap, but I cannot work out whether it is because of economies of scale, or it not being sterling silver?
Finally if anyone has any contacts I would be most interested!
Apologies for all the questions - I have been googling and cannot come up with these answers - I just seem to keep turning up the odd useful page amongst all the wholesalers of rubbish jewellery, or tiffany/LoL copies!
