    I am wondering how to get a start in importing silver jewelry from
    Asia? I am in the Philippines now and approached one company about
    wholesale prices for export and sales samples but all their
    inventory was booked until June 2005. I want to be able to buy
    samples, at least, to bring back to Canada in the new year.  

    What I want to know is is it the norm to buy silver jewelry (
    without stones), based on a per gram value or at wholesale prices
    for finished product?  Are there general prices one tends to pay in
    the Asian countries for silver? Is Thai jewelry still cheaper on a
    whole than other asian countries?  As you might infere from my
    questions I am not sure where to start really. I would like info
    specific to buying with resale in mind in North America or Europe
    where I used to live. I hope this is enough info to get  some sage
    advice from experienced wholesalers or importers. 

    If anyone wants to email me offline I am at merkilegur at yahoo dot
    com 

Thank you
Peter
