? As for the origin of diamonds, China does not produce diamonds. Most of the diamonds on the China market come from South Africa, India and Australia, which are rich in diamonds.
Next, answer in detail:
? There is an old saying: "Chinese jewelry looks at Shenzhen, and Shenzhen jewelry looks at Luohu." Among the nine bases, if we want to judge the most successful and profitable base, it should be the Shenzhen gold and jewelry industry gathering base. Since its listing in August, 2004, the Shuibei Jewelry Industry Base, with an investment of 65.438+0.48 billion yuan, has occupied more than 50% of the national market share. There are 24 "China Famous Brand Products" of gold ornaments, accounting for 46% of the 52 in China. Gold processing accounts for about 70% of the annual delivery of Shanghai Gold Exchange, platinum processing accounts for 70% of the delivery of Shanghai Platinum Exchange, and diamond consumption accounts for Shanghai. Through the agglomeration effect, more than 1500 jewelry enterprises have gathered here, forming a complete industrial chain and occupying a leading position in the national jewelry industry.
? It can be said that Shenzhen is the main jewelry processing and manufacturing center, wholesale center, material purchasing center, main export base and industry information center in China. Shuibei Jewelry Zone is located in Luohu District, Shenzhen, with an area of only 0.5 square kilometers. It is the core base of Shenzhen jewelry and gold industry. For people in the jewelry circle, Shuibei is well known, because most of the jewelry in the country is processed and wholesale here.
process
There are many processing factories in Shenzhen, and many diamond wholesalers also have their own factories. A factory has a process from design to board lifting, mold assembly, polishing, electroplating and lettering. It can be said that as long as you like the style, there is nothing you can't do, only the difference in processing price. At present, the jewelry brands on the market, except some luxury brands, whether Hong Kong-funded or mainland brands, are basically processed in Shenzhen.
2. Large-scale
The wholesale price of jewelry in Shenzhen is generally 1/3~ 1/2 of the price of a physical store. But usually 10 is issued, and the retail price is one. There are entities and e-commerce, and their nature is basically the same. However, because e-commerce can save physical costs, the quotation is usually lower than that of the entity, and the product styles that can be presented are more complete than that of the entity. In addition, customers from different places can save a lot of transportation expenses and time costs by trading in Alibaba, so e-commerce wholesale diamonds has gradually become a trend. At present, sapphire diamond and Big Ben are doing better in e-commerce wholesale, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose the right supplier according to your own needs. In terms of entities, representative ones, such as Starlight, Millennium Star and Star, are all in the form of wholesale price and discount price of exhibition halls, which are more expensive. You can compare it yourself. ?
How to choose suppliers?
(1) price
Of course, the price should be cheap, so that dealers can make money. ? However, we also met many customers who told us that their original suppliers offered very low prices for the first time, and after successfully attracting them to establish cooperative relations, the prices began to go up bit by bit (of course, not only because of the fluctuation of diamond prices, you know …), so the price is a very important consideration, but we can't just look at the price.
(2) Is there a factory?
Wholesalers with their own factories usually have a relatively stable supply speed, because there is no factory but wholesalers with loose diamonds, and when they bring diamonds to the factory, they need to list them according to the factory's production capacity, which can't guarantee the construction period and quality well. In addition, wholesalers with factories have relatively strong strength, high credibility and more confidence in cooperation.
(3) Integrity
Do you buy real goods? In fact, this problem is not big at present, because selling real diamonds and selling synthetic ones has been automatically diverted. Moreover, diamonds have international certificates such as GIA, IGI and HRD, and some suppliers also provide domestic certificates, so there is no way to falsify them. The weight, purity, color and cut of a diamond are clearly marked on it, so you don't have to worry about it. Now, the honest part is more focused on not being able to deliver the goods on time. Whether what she promised you achieved these details will test the service level of the supplier. It is comfortable to cooperate with a good supplier, but it is very troublesome to encounter a bad attitude.
(4) whether intentionally
Although the color, clarity, cut and weight of diamonds have been selected, there are still differences in diamonds of the same grade. For example, they are all cleanliness grades of SI 1. Whether the defect is on the obvious countertop or the waist bottom that can't be seen after inlay, it is actually much worse in perception. For example, whether the diamonds of the same grade have milk, coffee and green, and whether the defects are turbid or obvious. Suppliers don't help you choose diamonds, and customers don't know what to do, so you eat coptis. Very few diamond wholesalers (mainly e-commerce) can provide defect maps under high-definition microscope, or they can choose their own, which is more reassuring.
(5) Is there any other support?
For example, training, such as the support of some promotional materials, is very important for small jewelry stores that have just entered the business, but there are few suppliers with training. Of course, if you can teach yourself, it's ok, but it's slower to explore by yourself, especially when you are not close to these jewelry resources. It's really a big help to have guidance from insiders.
