If you are the “End User”; of that engagement ring or piece of diamond jewelry and if you are not in the business of buying from manufacturers with the intent of reselling to consumers, you can not buy your engagement ring wholesale. You may feel that you received a price similar to “Wholesale“, but you can not actually purchase your engagement ring wholesale. (In the truest and legal sense of the word) Unless you are a wholesaler with a Federal Tax ID number and possibly a state resale tax ID #. In many cases when engagement rings and diamonds are being advertised for sale to the public as wholesale, it is at least misleading, and possibly even illegal in some states. This actually applies to most types of products for resale, not just diamonds, and engagement ring sets. It is true that purchasing your engagement ring online can save you quite a bit of money, but you are still technically buying at retail. That means you are purchasing affordable engagement rings, not a wholesale engagement rings. The savings typically are because when you buy online, you are enjoying a lower profit margin on that loose diamond or diamond engagement ring. This is possible because many online jewelers do not have the large overhead that a traditional brick and mortar jewelry store will have.
