Unlike the story of many E-Commerce sites, Costume Jewelry Wholesale.com traces its roots to an earlier time before the Digital Age changed our lives. Long before the computer, the Internet, and even before cell phones, Allan Robin, our founder and still CEO of the company started, our parent company in 1967 with only $50.00. He started going door to door to retail stores selling jewelry out of his car trunk. His first expansion was from a one bedroom apartment to a two bedroom apartment with the extra bedroom used for an office and storage space. It took him two years with his partner, his wife, to build the business to a point where they needed additional office and storage space. We move into a 1,000 square foot space in an office building. Six months later a fire from a copy machine in an insurance company office down the hall destroyed everything. With nothing more than determination, the desire to have food on the table, and a roof over their head he started over again.

Over the past 42+ years Allan has made us into a fashion leader and has been a marketing innovator in the Fashion & Costume Jewelry Industry. We have sold to stores such as Neiman Marcus, Sak’s Fifth Ave, Marshall Field, Dillard’s, Nordstrom’s, Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, Macy’s, The Bay Canada, and hundreds of small women’s fashion boutiques from coast to coast . In working with the owners, buyers, advertising departments, and merchandise managers of these large and small stores for 40 years we gained the knowledge that we have today. We are the only Online Web Site that can say we have sold to these “ Fashion Icon Stores ”.

This knowledge and experience brings the precious and priceless perspective of, knowing what the final end using consumer wants and what will motivate them to BUY! You are able to buy anything you see on our web site and have the confidence that it can and will be sold. It is the backround, experience, and knowledge of Allan, who chooses or designs the jewelry that is presented to you on our web site.

The same is true of jewelry on other web sites, or jewelry lines presented to you in your store, or jewelery companies showing at a trade show. Do these companies have the management or employees that have the backround, the experience, the knowledge of what the consumer wants? Because you are going to choose from their selection! How good were, or are they? Can you have complete confidence in their choices of designs and styles that they will sell to your customers? Or will they sit on your shelves?

These factors is what makes our web site and manufacturing company, more valuable to you, our customer, than any other wholesale web site on the internet or jewelry wholesale company not on the internet!

In addition, Allan has spent over 42 years advising and inspiring thousands of people on how to start, build, and maintain their wholesale business, retail stores, home party businesses, booth retail locations, and web site businesses. A man with boundless energy and enthusiasm, he has guided CostumeJewelryWholesale.com into the International Markets to selling large & small wholesale distributors and department stores in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America.

3 years ago Allan at the age of 65 decided he was unhappy and not satisfied with the jewelry designs that came out of China, India, and Vietnam. They were not an American look, or a European look. The materials that were used in the designs were used because they were cheap, not because it fit the design. One area he was concerned about was the designs of religious inspirational jewelry. America has a majority Judeo-Christian population. He could not understand how people who believed in Buddhism, Taoism, Confuciusism, and Hinduism could produce meaningful Christian or Jewish Jewelry. In addition they did not have Cheerleaders, Rodeos, Cowgirls, Red Hat Societies, or School Mascots in China, India, or Vietnam. So in addition to his other responsibilities and duties as President and CEO, he started creating most of the new designs and styles of the new jewelry put on our web site. Designs that come from "American Creativity".

Last year he started having jewelry made in the United States, and you can now see that jewelry, "MADE IN AMERICA" on the CostummeJewelryWholesale.com website that has appealing American and European aesthetics in its designs.

Besides Fashion, we have the largest selection of Inspirational Christian Jewelry, Awareness Jewelry, Sports Jewelry, School Paw/ Mascot Jewelry, Bridal/ After Five/ Prom Jewelry, Gymnastic Jewelry, Non Religious Awe Inspiring Motivational Jewelry, Cowgirl , Rodeo, and Western Jewelry, Cheerleader, Drill, Dance Jewelry, and Red Hat Jewelry on the internet.
