    Hi, Here is my understanding of the situation: If you want to buy raw
    materials from Stuller, it is easy to set up an account. All you need
    is a credit card. However, because Stuller's primary market is
    individually-owned jewelry stores, they wish to protect those
    store-owners' interests by making it wholesale-only for finished
    jewelry. Therefore, to get an account to buy rings, etc. one needs
    to show that you are truly "in the business". If you call and want to
    buy only stones or metal, it should not be a problem; if the sales
    person does not understand these rules, ask for a Steve McDiarmad. 

Cynthia
