Apples of Gold came to be a main contender in the online
Apples of Gold launched its online presence on the premise that traditional jewelers are overpriced. Markups can range anywhere from 100-300%. Seeing the jewelry prices in high-end retail jewelry stores as exorbitant and plainly unfair, Apples of Gold dared to believe there was a better way.
Branching off of a Los Angeles jewelry wholesaler with over 25 years of
experience in the jewelry industry, Apples of Gold launched in the year 2000
with the resolute promise of providing the same, high-end jewelry as any
successful jewelry retailer, but at a dramatically lower price.
The owners sought the most experienced and value-based manufacturers in the
jewelry trade. Apples of Gold started with their personal contacts in the historical
downtown Los Angeles Jewelry District, and soon expanded to the competitive
jewelry venues in New York and other major jewelry centers worldwide.
Working with the same jewelry manufacturers and wholesalers that supply traditional
jewelers across the United States, and by selling directly online to the
consumer, Apples of Gold has been able to offer the same jewelry that
brick-and-mortar stores carry, but for an average of 40% below standard retail
prices.In essence, Apples of Gold cut out the multiple “middle-men” of the jewelry trade, bypassed the burden of traditional overhead, and thereby minimized the cost of retail jewelry mark-up for comparable products.
