does anyone know any suppliers for diamond studs and south sea pearl studs? nothing too expensive.. factory price would be best.

wat is the budget and what size, Clarity,And color you are looking for ?

hi! around 1carat in total for the pair ( maybe .50 each earring ).. how much would something like that cost? im not very familiar with clarity and such but something that would be of decent quality in terms of of the 4cs would be good. are you a jewelry supplier? or know of any?

For that quantity you're not going to get factory / wholesale prices, but I'm sure ricky can cut you a deal.

If you're not in a rush, there is a jewelry show next month in the convention centre

yea i can understand that im probably not going to get any wholesale prices but i can hope for the closest i can get to it anyhow, its not for me but for a friend looking for one. im actually in the philippines coming over next week and then in july also and just hoping to find some while im there. although i can get it from here, im trying to see for myself the good reason why some Filipino jewelry dealers buy fine from hk. from a manila supplier, a south sea stud in 14k white gold, around 14mm would start at more or less $200usd ( i dont know what quality this price would fetch but i was told the price starts from there and differ according to size and quality ). how much would an hk version go for? anyone know? if i can find a good difference between prices, then it might be good to think about reselling south sea pearls.

The Jewelmer pearls are AMAZING! Are you sure you don't want to get in the Phillipines?

yep, yep, yep. Jewelmer is the best of all SSP Coming from the Philippines, I can attest to that. But the ones in the stalls in a place called Greenhills sell real ones at a fraction of the price - and are genuine - I have checked it with my jeweler as well. But of course, the quality isnt as good. But at the end of the day, it depends how much you are willing to spend.

I bought my diamond in the Philippines, too. It really depends if you can get a jeweler that you can trust. If you don't know anyone, it's better to buy from the bigger stores.
