Top 10 Wholesale 14K Gold Earrings Suppliers in the USA

Most lists of wholesale 14K gold earrings suppliers in the USA share one problem: many of the companies on them don't sell 14K gold earrings at all. They sell plated brass, stainless steel and sterling silver. That works for a fashion rack, but not for a customer who asked for real gold.


This guide sticks to suppliers that sell solid 14K gold earrings to the trade. We checked each one's current terms and catalog in 2026, including minimums, account rules and what they actually sell in 14K. Then we added what the other lists skip, from what a pair should cost with gold near $4,190 an ounce to what this year's tariffs add to imported earrings.

How we picked these 10 (and who we left out)

Every supplier here sells solid 14K gold earrings to businesses, and each one is the best answer for at least one kind of buyer. We checked five things:

  • Real 14K. Earrings sold as solid 14K, not "14K gold-filled" or "14K plated."

  • Trade buying. A wholesale account, a resale certificate check or a business-only policy.

  • Terms you can find. Minimums, account steps and shipping a new buyer can figure out in one visit or one email.

  • Earring depth. Studs and huggies at a minimum. Most also carry hoops, drops or findings.

  • A clear fit. A reason a specific store would pick this supplier over the others.

The 10 best wholesale 14K gold earring suppliers for US retailers

1. JewelPin

  • Based in: Jaipur, India. Ships to US retailers by UPS and FedEx, fully insured.

  • What we make: 85+ ready gold earring designs, mostly in 14K: studs, halos, huggies, clusters, three-stone and floral styles.

  • How you start: A first sample order with no minimum (about 15 days), then a $1,000 minimum order.


JewelPin is the wholesale platform. Our earrings are made in-house, and we're certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). What we do differently is "one design, many stones." Most of our gold earring designs come in 20 or more stone options from aquamarine, tanzanite and tourmaline to natural diamonds and CVD lab-grown diamonds. You choose the stone and the karat (9K, 10K, 14K or 18K) when you order, so one design can cover three price points in your case.


Prices on our 14K gold earrings depend mostly on the stones. Pink tourmaline studs list at about $196 to $209 a pair, lab-grown diamond bezel studs at about $236 to $260, and a three-stone lab-grown diamond style at about $918 to $991.


Standard orders need $1,000 in total and 5 pieces per design, with at least 3 per stone. You pay 50% with the order and 50% before shipping, and delivery takes 45 to 50 days. Styles in our Ship Now collection ship in about 7 days.


Private label Logo stamping costs nothing extra, and we supply product photos and videos for your listings. Custom designs start at 30 pieces per design, with a $22 development charge.


Why it made the list: You can carry 14K colored-stone and lab-grown diamond earrings that aren't in every other case in town, with your logo, from 5 pieces per design.

2. Stuller

  • Based in: Lafayette, Louisiana. Founded in 1970.

  • What they sell: Finished 14K earrings, plus the mountings, findings, stones and CAD/CAM services to make your own.

  • How you start: Apply for a trade account. Finished jewelry needs business verification or a state resale certificate.


Stuller sits behind the cases and benches of a lot of American jewelers. It says more than 40,000 retailers, manufacturers, students and online sellers rely on it every day. For earrings, the draw is completeness. Finished 14K studs, spare 14K backs, loose stones and mountings for a custom pair can all go on one invoice. Its Stuller First membership adds flat-rate shipping.

Why it made the list: Nobody makes replenishment simpler. When a customer loses a back, a matching replacement is one quick reorder away.

3. Quality Gold

  • Based in: Fairfield, Ohio. Founded in 1979.

  • What they sell: More than 200,000 jewelry and gift items ready to ship the same day, plus 100,000+ special-order pieces, including 14K studs and hoops.

  • How you start: Open a retailer account.


Quality Gold sells to retailers, mostly independent jewelers. It has grown partly through acquisitions, including Herco, a San Francisco wholesaler known for higher-end 14K and 18K gold, in 2023.


For earrings, Quality Gold is a "pull it today" supplier. You can fill an earring wall in one order and restock the winners without waiting on production. Why it made the list: Breadth plus speed. If your store moves a lot of classic gold earrings, it's built for exactly that.

4. Royal Chain Group

  • Based in: New York, NY. Founded in 1978 and still family-run.

  • What they sell: 14K and 10K gold hoops, studs and posts, and drops and dangles, plus sterling silver and the Phillip Gavriel designer line.

  • How you start: Open a retailer account. Jewelers can order online.


Royal Chain began as a gold chain company and is now a third-generation manufacturer and importer of gold and silver jewelry. In September 2025 it released a dedicated Earring Book and an earring box program for store displays. Several best-selling 14K styles now come in 10K too, which helps when gold prices push 14K past a customer's budget. It also uses electroforming for some bold 14K shapes, which keeps big hoops light and easier to price.


Why it made the list: Real depth in gold hoops, display support for your case and fast restocking. Royal Chain says it can restock 95% or more of its products within 24 hours, and it's a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council..

5. Silver Palace Inc

  • Based in: The Los Angeles Jewelry District (640 S. Hill St.), supplying retailers for more than 30 years.

  • What they sell: 335 styles of 14K earrings when we checked: ball, bead and square studs, bezel CZ studs, huggies, wire hoops, and religious and novelty studs in yellow and white gold.

  • How you start: A $200 minimum order and a seller's permit or sales tax license.


Silver Palace is the easiest door into solid 14K on this list. Prices are posted on the site: the first 48 styles in its 14K earring category run from about $17 to $101, and most are under $75. Every 14K piece is stamped 14K, and current non-closeout stock is nickel-free. Most orders ship the same business day by UPS, and orders of $1,000 or more ship free by UPS Ground within the lower 48. Why it made the list: You can test solid 14K earrings in your store for a couple of hundred dollars. It suits new boutiques, online sellers and stores adding gold to a silver-heavy case..

6. Golden Planet USA: best for 10K to 21K gold from one supplier

  • Based in: New York's Diamond District (62 W. 47th St.), with factory production in Turkey.

  • What they sell: Solid gold studs, drops and hoops in yellow and white gold, in plain, CZ, natural diamond and lab-grown diamond styles.

  • How you start: Request the digital catalog. The New York team says it replies within 24 hours.


Golden Planet keeps 14K and 18K earrings in stock in New York and makes 10K and 21K to order at its factory. That spread lets one supplier cover a value tier and a high-karat tier, which matters if your customers range from first-time gold buyers to people who only wear 21K.

Minimums are flexible and depend on karat, style and order type, so expect a quote rather than a price list. It sells only to businesses.


Why it made the list: Factory-direct pricing through a New York office, plus 21K, which most suppliers on this list don't offer..

7. AZ Findings: best for 14K studs, hoops and findings by the pair

  • Based in: Grand Island, New York, near Buffalo. A member of MJSA (Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America).

  • What they sell: Solid 14K leverbacks, ear wires, threaders, posts and prongs, plus small finished studs (hearts, stars, crosses) and lightweight hoops, sold by the pair.

  • How you start: Log in for wholesale prices. Tax-exempt setup is available.


AZ Findings makes and sells findings, chain and permanent jewelry supplies. Its 14K earring line sits between components and finished goods. You can buy a ready pair of 14K heart studs, or a pair of 14K ear wires to finish your own design, and it says most of these pieces are made in the USA.


Why it made the list: Per-pair buying, US-made components and permanent jewelry supplies under one roof. It's a natural add-on source for permanent jewelry studios and designers who finish their own pieces.

8. Rekiya Designs: best for designer gemstone and diamond collections

  • Based in: The United States. Founded in 2020 by a designer with more than 20 years in Manhattan's Diamond District.

  • What they sell: Solid 14K and 18K gold only, with natural gemstones and diamonds. Collections include Zodiac, Diamond, Birthstone, Emerald and Art Deco, and the wholesale earrings lean toward diamond styles.

  • How you start: Send a wholesale inquiry, review the catalog, then place a trial order.


Rekiya is a small fine jewelry house with its own design studio, and that's the point: you're buying a look, not a catalog number. It shows at JCK Las Vegas, JA New York, JIS Miami and the GJX show in Tucson, so you can see pieces in person first. In-stock styles typically ship within a few business days; custom karat and private-label work takes longer.


Why it made the list: Boutiques that sell on story and design need at least one line like this, and it's solid gold throughout..

9. Faire: best for testing small 14K brands on 60-day terms

  • Based in: An online wholesale marketplace.

  • What it offers: Solid 14K earrings from many independent brands, from 4mm ball studs and baby hoops to lab-grown diamond studs.

  • How you start: Open a free retailer account. Each brand sets its own minimum.


Faire isn't a supplier. It's a marketplace where brands sell wholesale to shops, and for a new store the terms are the draw. Eligible retailers can pay on net 60, and your first order with each brand comes with free returns, typically within 60 days. When we checked, new retailers could also get 50% off a first order, up to $100.

Why it made the list: It's the lowest-risk way to learn which small 14K styles sell in your store before you commit to a manufacturer..

10. Rio Grande: best for making your own 14K earrings

  • Based in: Albuquerque, New Mexico. A Berkshire Hathaway company since 2013.

  • What they sell: Jewelry-making supplies, including 14K gold earring components such as posts with cups and pegs for pearls.

  • How you start: Open an account online.


Rio Grande supplies people who make jewelry, from bench jewelers to small studios. If your earrings are your own designs set with your own pearls or stones, it's a dependable source for 14K posts and pearl post mountings.


Why it made the list: It covers the maker side of 14K earrings, which finished-goods wholesalers mostly don't.

What wholesale 14K gold earrings cost in 2026?

Gold sets the floor on every pair. At the October 2026 close of $4,194.40 an ounce, one gram of 14K gold holds about $78.66 worth of gold. You can redo the math any day: 14K value per gram = gold price per ounce ÷ 31.1 × 0.583.

That's the metal alone. A wholesale price adds labor, findings, stones and the supplier's margin, plus duty and freight on imports. For a sense of where prices land, simple 14K studs and huggies at Silver Palace start around $17 a pair, and most of the styles we checked were under $75. At JewelPin, pink tourmaline studs list at about $196 a pair and a three-stone lab-grown diamond style at about $918.

9 checks to run on any wholesale 14K earring

  1. Stamp and trademark. US law doesn't require a karat stamp. But if a pair is stamped "14K" or "585," the National Gold and Silver Stamping Act requires the maker's registered trademark next to it. A quality mark with no trademark is a red flag.

  2. Purity. 14K has to test at 58.03% gold or more, or 57.63% if the piece has solder. A jeweler with an XRF tester can check a sample pair quickly.

  3. Posts. Posts on the 14K studs and findings we looked at ran from 0.6 mm to 0.86 mm thick and about 7 mm to 10 mm long. Thin posts bend more easily. Screw backs only fit posts with matching threads, so buy spare backs from the same supplier.

  4. Backs. Ask whether backs are solid 14K, silicone-coated 14K or plain silicone. Screw backs suit kids and anyone who sleeps in their earrings. Leverbacks and hinged hoops don't need a separate back at all.

  5. White gold. Most 14K white gold is rhodium-plated, and the FTC says you must disclose rhodium plating. Some white gold alloys also contain nickel, so ask for nickel-free white gold if you sell to sensitive ears.

  6. Hollow or solid. Hollow hoops are lighter and cheaper but dent more easily. The FTC's guides say hollow pieces shouldn't be described as "solid" gold, but many sellers use "solid" to mean "not plated." Get the gram weight and ask directly.

  7. Stones. A lab-grown diamond needs a qualifier such as "laboratory-grown" or "laboratory-created" right before the word diamond. Treatments, like glass filling in rubies, must be disclosed if they aren't permanent, need special care or significantly affect value.

  8. Packaging. Ask how pairs arrive. One retailer's review on Faire said the earrings came in baggies with no card backers, so budget for cards if you need them.

  9. Returns. Worn earrings are almost never returnable. Check each supplier's window for unworn stock and damaged goods before your first order.

FAQ

Who are the best wholesale jewelry suppliers in the USA?

For solid 14K gold earrings, the strongest US-based options are Stuller, Quality Gold, Royal Chain Group, Silver Palace and Golden Planet USA. JewelPin, which ships from India, is the pick for gemstone and lab-grown diamond styles under your own label. For fashion jewelry, look at ZENZII or Alamode instead.

Where is the best place to buy 14K gold earrings?

To resell, buy from a trade wholesaler: Silver Palace for a $200 minimum, Stuller or Quality Gold for fast restocking, or a manufacturer like JewelPin for branded and gemstone designs. For a single pair to wear yourself, a local jeweler is still the safest bet.

How do you buy earrings wholesale?

Register your business, get a seller's permit from your state and send suppliers a resale certificate. Then open accounts, order samples, compare price per gram and reorder what sells. Minimums run from $200 at Silver Palace to $1,000 at JewelPin.

Where can I find wholesale real gold jewelry?

Solid gold jewelry comes wholesale from trade distributors like Stuller and Quality Gold, from wholesalers in the Los Angeles and New York jewelry districts, and from manufacturers like JewelPin. Check every listing says "14K" or "14K solid," not "14K gold-filled" or "14K plated."

What's the minimum order for wholesale 14K gold earrings?

It ranges from $200 at Silver Palace to $1,000 at JewelPin, where gold designs also need 5 pieces each. Brands on Faire set their own minimums, and some manufacturers quote minimums by karat and style.

Do I need a resale certificate to buy wholesale jewelry?

Usually, yes. Most US wholesalers ask for a seller's permit or resale certificate before they'll show prices or ship finished jewelry. Stuller, for example, sells tools to anyone but verifies your business before you can buy finished jewelry.

Is 14K gold-filled the same as 14K gold?

No. 14K gold is 58.33% gold all the way through. 14K gold-filled is a base metal with a bonded gold layer that must be at least 1/20 of the metal's weight. It can last for years, but it isn't solid gold.

How can I tell if wholesale earrings are real 14K?

Look for a "14K" or "585" stamp with the maker's trademark beside it, then have a sample pair tested. A jeweler's XRF tester should read at least 58.03% gold, or 57.63% if the piece has solder. A price below the gold value is a warning sign.

How much do wholesale 14K gold earrings cost?

In October 2026, simple 14K studs and huggies start around $17 a pair at Silver Palace, and most styles we checked were under $75. Gemstone pairs cost more: at JewelPin, pink tourmaline studs list at about $196. The gold alone is worth about $79 per gram of 14K.

Is it cheaper to import 14K gold earrings from India?

Often, especially for gemstone and custom pieces, but count the duty. Indian-made gold jewelry pays about 15.5% to 16% to enter the US as of October 2026, versus about 18% for Thailand or Turkey and 10% for the EU. Small parcels pay duty too.

Should I stock 10K or 14K gold earrings?

Stock 14K as your core and add 10K for price-sensitive shoppers. 10K holds about 29% less gold per gram, so it costs less, though its color is paler. Royal Chain, for one, now offers several best-selling 14K earring styles in 10K too.

Are 14K gold earrings hypoallergenic?

Not automatically. Some white gold alloys contain nickel, the metal most likely to cause a reaction. For sensitive ears, sell nickel-free 14K. The Association of Professional Piercers accepts solid 14K or 18K gold for new piercings only if it's nickel- and cadmium-free.

What markup do jewelers use on gold earrings?

Many US jewelers use keystone, doubling the wholesale price, or go higher depending on the brand, weight and stones. Work out your markup from landed cost, with duty and shipping included, so they don't eat your margin.

The bottom line

There isn't one best wholesale 14K gold earrings supplier, only the best one for what you sell. For classic gold that ships fast, open accounts with Stuller or Quality Gold, and use Silver Palace to test new styles cheaply. If you want earrings with color, real stones and your own name on them, that's what we built JewelPin for. Your first sample order with us has no minimum and arrives in about 15 days. Request a sample order, browse our 14K gold earrings, or email sales@jewelpin.com with the styles you're after.
