About Inquisitive Designs Jewelry

Inquisitive Designs Jewelry is an importer of high quality sterling silver simulated diamond jewelry.  We endeavor to deliver a high quality alternative to retail mall, home shopping television programs and jewelry store venues that is much more competitively priced.  We can do so without compromising quality, for the simple reason that we have far lower overhead than these alternatives.

We have no retail space.  

We have no programming or advertising fees.  

We have no salespeople.  

We import directly from the same resources these other choices access, but have far less costs to cover.

Let’s face it, no matter who you are, if you’re not making a profit, it’s not worth continuing.  I am probably making no less profit per unit than these other venues, however without the other costs, your price is lower.  It’s really that simple. 

Here's what happens with us and with our competitors:

In the purchase price of your item you are paying for all these things the retailer needs to cover their expenses AND ensure they are profitable.  

It's just business.
Anyone who sells anything has to either make or buy the merchandise, incur expenses to market it and then after all is said and done, have some left over for profit.  The more expense you have, the more you have to charge for your product.

It's just simple economics.

 

So, whether you're buying one ring or dozens of rings, bracelets and pendants; you are buying from a direct importer who does not sell in an environment requiring high overhead ... Therefore you are reaping the benefits in your unit cost.

 

Whether you're purchasing one ring or a wholesale shipment, you will get prompt answers to your questions and fast delivery of your product.  If for any reason we are temporally out of stock, you will hear this from us up front.  We will not play the "lost in the mail" game while our order is awaiting our receipt.  That's just dishonest.  I would rather you go somewhere else and have your needs served promptly than to try and save a sale dishonestly.  This has always held in good stead  with our customers.
