Thoughts from the Dragonlady: September 2009

Wholesale Inquiry

Yes, The Silver Dragon offers jewelry both Wholesale and Retail.

We have been in the Sterling Silver business since 1978.

We are the manufacturer and don't have middle men adding to the cost of the jewelry.

If you are interested in Wholesale jewelry, then you need to go into the Wholesale side of our site...you'll see the link.

You need to put in your Federal ID number to get wholesale prices. Opening orders are $150.

We do not drop ship.

We make over 1500 styles of jewelry, so much of the jewelry is custom made for you...that's the good news and the bad news.

Because it's being made there is a turn around time. (bad news)

Because it's being made, we can offer any size ring you need and you can choose your stone (always genuine...we have them cut for us.)

And we are very nice people to deal with!

Please stop by.

Something about Nancy

My husband, Larry, and I started The Silver Dragon in 1978.
We are a sterling silver jewelry manufacturer located in Rhode Island.

Many of our designs are his.

Sadly, cancer took him in 1996. I have continued to run the business, but it definitely isn’t as much fun anymore.

I have taken over the manufacture of the jewelry, and what I cannot do, I give to my super support staff.

I do some wholesale shows…The New Age Show in Florida and in Denver, the two New York Gift Shows.

In the spring I get out on the road calling on customers from Maine to Pennsylvania.

After 25 years, I finally gave up the stores and sold them to my long time managers at each store. I know they will do well.

After being a widow for 10 years...enter Bob. We had a whirlwind courtship and were married in Hawaii in October of 06. We are very happy. Watch for the wedding photos.

Thank you for supporting all of us here at The Silver Dragon and for supporting an American business. ...

NANCY IADELUCA ... PS...on my new name... It's pronounced I DELUCA. My husband tells me that in Italian, it's YA DELUCA.
