FashionWiki: Difference between revisions

There are different levels of the jewelry industry along with different specialties and people who make jewelry as a hobby. Mining the stone is at the beginning. It took years of the right elements and reactions to form a single stone. The next step is a gem cutter who examines the gem "rock" and decides the best size(s) and cut(s) to shape the stone into so they get the most out of it and the best quality or grade and value possible. Once the stone is cut to a fine gem, an artisan or designer takes the gem and creates a dazzling piece of jewelry. After the gem has been paired with the gold or silver of the artisan/designer's choice, it is sold to a wholesaler ([http://www.teeda.com Teeda]) who then turns around and sells it to a retailer ([http://www.zales.com Zales]) to the public at a discounted cost. The retailer sells this from a physical store, an online virtual store, tv ([http://www.jewelrytelevision.com JTV]), craft fair, or a combination of these, etc.
