Yiwu International Trade City (jewellery halls)
Yiwu, China
The world's largest small-commodities market has whole floors of fashion and costume jewellery, silver jewellery and components, sold wholesale by the dozen. A sourcing market for brands and retailers, not for fine jewellery.
Yiwu, in Zhejiang province, is home to the world's largest market for small commodities, the Yiwu International Trade City, with tens of thousands of stalls. Whole floors are given to fashion and costume jewellery, silver jewellery and jewellery components.
What you find
Costume jewellery, hair accessories, sterling silver jewellery, beads, chains and findings, packaging and displays, sold wholesale by the dozen or by the kilo, mostly from factories in the region.
How it works
A wholesale sourcing market for brands, retailers and online sellers; minimum order quantities apply. Many buyers work with a sourcing agent who handles samples, quality checks and shipping.
Tips
- Check lead, cadmium and nickel limits for your market (for example EU REACH rules) and ask for test reports.
- "Silver" may be plated base metal: ask for the fineness.
