    First get out your gallery contract adhere to it, they are your
    target market and whom you chose to do business with- not the pushy
    Interior designers, that i'm doubting are designing anyone's Jewelry
    Room in their home's interior. use your brain here. 

    while money is among the ultimate temtations- you are, I'm betting
    obligated to contact the gallery and let them know these people are
    wanting rates lower than have been offered by the gallery ( if I
    read your post correctly) 

    Contact the SHOW'S PRODUCER- Let them know their security is faulty
    and that people not in the Jewelry resale business gained entry
    falsely and bought at wholesale rates to avoid paying taxes (1) and
    to undercut the retail they are supposed to pay for goods that are
    not in their genre.

    On the other hand, If your contract does not have ANY clauses
    regarding selling to these people. . then the choice is yours-
    However, if your instinct tells you something's wrong, they are
    pushy, (they are "they", not a single enterprenuer) then avoid them,
    and explain that you do not do business unless it is within the
    Jewelry Industry or that you have already made all the sales
    arrangements you care to service for this fiscal year and Invite
    them to submit an application for an account that is net 30 with the
    appropriate references and that your staff will be contacting
    someone in their organization after processing it, and if and when
    there are any sales opportunities available for carrying your line.
    you might throw in a clause about them not carrying anyone else's
    line unless sales exceed 500, 000. 00per quarter. that should get rid
    of them. if you wnt to deal with them in the first place. . you
    didn't pay a show's producer to let anyone not in the business and
    not thoroughly screened for verification of their industry in to the
    venue. go with your instinct and the contract(s) in place.
