Step 2
Find general wholesale websites that offer products from China. For example, you can find wholesale gemstones and gemstone jewelry on “Global Sources Direct,” “Beltal.com” and “Buy China Wholesale.” Here you will buy products in wholesale lots.

Step 3
Look for gemstone importers to work with. “Wholesalegemstones.com,” for example, is a great place to go to. It will provide you with a directory of gemstone dealers you can work with to buy wholesale gemstones from China. “GemTradeNet.com” is another great resource for finding wholesale lots of loose gemstones from China.

Evaluate your options. Make sure you are working with a seller who will stand by their products. The best wholesalers will offer exchanges or refunds on their gemstones. Also look for a wholesaler that has the skills to handle the importing/exporting paperwork required for shipping gemstones from China to the U.S. This will save you a lot of time and trouble.
