It is common practice in the retail jewelry business to overprice jewelry products by about 300%. In order to foster lasting, loyal relationships with our customers, we at FactoryDirectJewelry.com have decided to market our jewelry directly to our customers, with the promise to provide the same high-end jewelry that we have featured at the many retail jewelry stores around the U.S.A, but at a fraction of the cost! Due to the enormous fluctuation in the precious metals markets, especially the gold market, we have found it to be extremely unfair to deprive our customers of the beautiful gold jewelry designs that we have offered for so many years, simply because the prices are too high. Therefore, in order to continue quality and affordability service to our customers, we have decided to cut out the middle man and offer our products directly to our customers, allowing us to cut prices and offer extraordinarily great deals on a daily basis. By working directly with us as a jewelry manufacturer directly, you will be bypassing the costs of a very expensive middle man, and will be making an average savings of about 50% from retail prices. We hope you will give us the pleasure to serve your jewelry purchasing needs, and we hope that every relationship created will be a long lasting one. After all, we are a family owned jewelry manufacturing company, and we would like to be your family jeweler!
