Antique Jewelry Wholesale

Antique jewelry is typically very valuable, and 

purchasing such jewelry costs quite a bit of money. 

But then again, it is possible to buy antique jewelry 

wholesale as well – if you know where to look. 


Most people think that online auctions, such as 

eBay is the way to go. While this is true 

occasionally, you will usually find that the seller 

knows the value of what they are selling, and the 

price is quite high. There are other ways to find 

antique jewelry at wholesale prices – or below.


Keep an eye on your newspaper for advertised 

estate sales and garage sales. Typically, at these 

sales, the people holding the sale really don’t know 

the value of what they have. You can literally 

purchase hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of 

antique jewelry for just a few dollars on a typical 

Saturday morning.


It is important that you not look too closely at the 

jewelry when you are buying it. If the piece is 

valuable, you don’t want the seller to know how 

valuable it is! It isn’t your fault that they didn’t get it 

appraised – as you will as soon as you leave! Keep 

a straight face, keep your happiness and joy to 

yourself, and pay the fifty cents or two bucks that 

they want for the piece, get in your car and head to 

a trusted jeweler for an appraisal!


It is possible that the piece isn’t worth anything – 

but occasionally, you will stumble across some real 

finds! Even if the piece isn’t worth anything, if you 

make jewelry, you may be able to disassemble it 

for the parts. 


Finding antique jewelry wholesale is very exciting. 

In fact, spending those Saturday mornings at the 

yard sales and estate sales may even become 

addicting! Yard sales and estate sales – especially 

estate sales where grandchildren are not interested 

in their grandma’s old ugly jewelry are the best 

sources for antique jewelry at wholesale prices – or 

below wholesale prices.


This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some real find 

on eBay as well, so don’t discount it. Keep an eye 

on the jewelry categories, as well as the antique or 

vintage categories. When you do find something 

you want to bid on, make sure that the seller has a 

good reputation. If the piece is very expensive, use 

the escrow service that is recommended by eBay. 

Also talk to the seller quite a bit to be sure that you 

understand exactly what is being advertised!

Self-Injury: How to Stop this Dangerous Practice

Many wonder why anyone would practice self-injury, as it is painful and dangerous. However, with autistic children, self-injury occurs more often than not. There are several theories as to why this practice can be prevalent in autistic children, and there are some methods you can use to help ease this distressing practice. Because autistic children are unable to communicate through language the way that others can, they often feel frustrated at not being understood or at not getting what they need or want. Thus, autistic children may commit self-injury, by banging their heads or biting themselves (among other tactics), to release some of that frustration that cannot be communicated through words. Also, self-injury is a way of getting attention. An autistic child's frustration goes hand-in-hand with wanting attention. For instance, by scratching oneself until one bleeds, the autistic child will immediately get someone's attention, and this person will work to understand what the...

Sibling Rivalry: How Brothers and Sisters can Cope with Autistic Family Members

 When a family member is diagnosed with autism, there is a vast amount of information teaching parents how to cope with an autistic child, and there is also information for parents about dealing with an autistic child's different behaviors. However, there are fewer learning tools for those who have an autistic sibling, even though this is a very stressful situation for brothers and sisters of an autistic child. The following tips can help children cope with an autistic sibling. Sometimes parents are so involved in preparing themselves and their autistic child for the transition ahead that they forget that their other children must also deal with the new situation. Often, siblings of an autistic child may feel the new situation acutely. They may feel neglected by parents or jealous of the autistic child who is now receiving more attention. Also, they may find their peers constantly teasing them about having an autistic sibling, which can lead to more stress. This may lead to behavio...

Sounding Off: How Auditory Stimulation Helps an Hurts and Autistic Child

Sounds are a part of our everyday life, and so when dealing with an autistic child who has sensory problems, sound is one of the first things you should learn to control, especially in a learning environment. Sound can both be hurtful and helpful for an autistic child. Because each autistic individual is different, you must closely observe him or her to find out what types of reactions you can expect from auditory sensory stimulation. Loud or frightening sounds may be the most difficult type of sensory stimulation in an autistic child's life. Many of our routine daily activities include such sounds, hurting the growth process. Autistic children can not and will not learn if they are frightened. For example, parents often find that they have a difficult time toilet training their autistic children. This may be due to the scary sound of the toilet flushing; witch could be overpowering to and autistic child. Instead, try using a potty seat away from the actual toilet until they get us...
