Bridesmaid accessories - where or where are the quantities?

I have been looking for a particular style and color of necklace for about 6 months now. It wasn't until recently that I found out that stores like Macy's and Dillard's don't carry large quantities of necklaces. When I was told they didn't carry "large quantities", I was thinking oh... they don't buy 20 of the same necklace. That was fine by me. I only had 4 bridesmaids... I only need 4 necklaces!

Well... they usually only buy 3 or 4 of one particular style! What... I had no clue! So, when you put on your favorite necklace, just think... you are 1 or only 3 or 4 people in Memphis who has that necklace!

Luckily, there are other options! Memphis has a wonderful wholesale jewelry store on Summer called Jun Lee. There is a minimum purchase of $30, but you can blow through that really easy.

Also, thanks to a neighbor who has passes (should be called permission slips!) to jewelry trade show coming the first weekend in August. This Bride will be attending the "Memphis Gift and Jewelry Show"! Very excited about it!
