    The experience I have had with department stores which goes back a
    few years, is to call the buyer of the department store you are
    interested in.  One important point that I do remember is to have a
    enough of a line that "tells a story".  They will let you know when
    they are taking appointments for the next season.  Be persistent,
    and if you receive a machine, call back until you speak with the
    buyer or the buyers assistant.  I do remember that the buyers were
    very open to seeing new items and new people, however there are
    certain times of the year that they make the appointments for the
    following season.  Sometimes you can get started in one store with
    just seeing the manager of that department, and if it goes and works
    well , then go to the main buyer for all of the chains.  I have
    personally had that experience with Bloomingdale's  and Saks,
    however the items were not jewelry and they were children accessory
    related.
