Frequently asked questions
What jewelry retailers ask us before opening a wholesale account.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. W18k is a wholesale supplier of 18K gold jewelry for verified jewelry businesses — retailers, jewelers and designers. The site is trade only: you apply for an account, we verify the business, usually within one business day, and your rep reaches out personally.
Is everything 18K gold?
Yes — 18K only, never 14K. That is the position of the house: the same 18K gold the trade buys, in chains, bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants.
What is the price per gram? Do you publish a wholesale price list?
We do not publish a price per gram or a wholesale price list. Wholesale pricing follows the gold market daily and is shown to approved accounts after sign-in, piece by piece, on the day you buy.
Do you export? Do you sell outside the United States?
Yes. We serve retailers across Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, with direct export shipping or pick-up at our office. Apply for an account with your country and we take it from there.
Where does the jewelry come from?
Our pieces come from suppliers in Brazil, Italy, Turkey and China, and from our own factory, Atelier01 — which also makes collections for retailers, or helps them create one.
Is what I see on the site in stock?
Yes. Everything on the site is in stock and orders of in-stock pieces ship overnight. If a piece runs out, we offer the closest similar piece.
Natural or lab-grown diamonds?
Your choice. We set natural diamonds or lab-grown diamonds, as the order asks.
How do I open a wholesale account?
Apply for an account: two minutes — contact, company and shipping address. We verify your resale credentials, usually within one business day, and your rep reaches out personally. Then you buy at wholesale: live stock, daily gold pricing, online orders and insured overnight delivery.
Do I need a resale certificate? What about sales tax?
Upload your state sales tax registration once; we prepare your Resale Certificate (ST-4 in Massachusetts) for signature by DocuSign and keep your invoices tax-exempt. Until it is signed you can still buy — sales tax is charged on the invoice.
How do you ship?
Every shipment goes FedEx, fully insured at declared value, adult signature required. Or pick up at our Marlborough office or at the Miami showroom in the Seybold Building.
Can I see the pieces in person?
Yes. Book a visit to the Marlborough, MA office or to the 18k Miami showroom at the Seybold Building, Suite 223, downtown Miami.
What languages do you speak?
English, Spanish and Portuguese — on the phone, on WhatsApp and on the site.
Do you sell to the public?
The W18k wholesale site serves verified jewelry businesses only. Wholesale access, pricing and orders are for the trade.
