    Karen and All, I cut all my own gemstones, cabs and facet.  I sell
    both wholesale, retail, and any way I can.  To be a wholesale buyer
    means much more than having a business license, business cards, and
    stationary.  Being a wholesale buyer means you buy in quantity, you
    buy often, and you pay your bills per the agreed upon payment
    schedule.  If you do not follow these principles you are not a
    wholesale buyer and do not expect to get a wholesale price.  My
    estimate is that one out of every hundred buyers I see is a
    "wholesale buyer".  Wholesale as a business term in the small
    business jewelry world is almost a dead issue.  You step up with the
    money for a quantity of goods and all sellers will sell to you. 
    Yes, regardless of your status as a business.  That is what I have
    determined in over 20 years in the stone business.
