Schwartz

I traveled far to get to this hole in the wall, that hidden in a nasty building. Anyways I asked for a discount because in all honestly, I was spending over $ 100 and should be at least offered a 10% discount. She told me she cannot give me a discount but she will «Give Me small discount in tax» which is technically illegal. She rather do a federal offense of tax evasion than offer a 10% discount. I know they offer discounts because I know many people in the buy sell business. It’s cheaper to order items online and get better quality items. Then pay for parking and deal with these crooks.

After all these years this is still my go-​to place not just because they have a wide array of jewelry making supplies and displays, but especially because I’m a procrastinator and sometimes need things right away. I’m also a hands-​on person and it makes a big difference to see in person what you’re getting as opposed to ordering online. The quality
This store is open to the general public. You don’t need a GE or a wholesale license. They also have sales on their overstock items and they have a catalog on request (though I’ve never ordered through it).
Like everyone says, it’s hard to find. It’s right across Mark’s Garage on the Diamond Head side. Look for glass door and a small lobby, and you’ll find the elevator up to the 4^th floor store.

The comments about it being hidden is not an understatement! LOL, there is a wealth of useful treasures here. The lady is very helpful and chatty. My first visit was a birthday gift from my mom $ 100 and 30 minutes (we had an appointment to get to) I can tell you that you will need far more time and far more money. :-)
Jewelry displays, wire, bags of all types, tools (not a huge selection but lets face it, there are a bazillion tools for jewelers out there!) some findings, some bigger stuff like magnifiers, tumblers, vices, polishing equipment etc. Even a couple small workbench options.
There was a comment made about how expensive things are, I think of it this way, we have two options, the interwebs or local. Local we have very few options… everyone is a bit higher, but really I didn’t notice a huge difference in costs. I did find things here I haven’t found anywhere else on island. I didn’t find any prices shockingly high. I do a lot of supply orders for my creations, and being a small time artist I pinch pennies. In fact I ordered a couple display boxes online recently, one is STILL missing in action, the other arrived, but was inferior quality to this stores, and after shipping I ended up paying more. Not great results, so off I go back to Schwartz for my new display boxes! The few options we do have here on island I do appreciate. Each one has something I need that they offer at the best price… This place for me is the display items and the polishing stuffs.
Enjoy… and take your time exploring lol
p.s someone mentioned ordering through their catalog, I wasnt aware they had one, I cant find it online so when I do head back I will ask for more info on this, I love catalog shopping even if I go into the store to actually buy it. :-)

This is wholesale supply store! Not for public individuals. However if u have a business license this is a great place to go get your supply.

One of the best supply stores on the island.
They carry a lot of jewelry displays as well as packaging and jewelry making equipment.
The owner is very loud and helpful, and I believe it’s her son the cashier is so nice that he actually help me carry large boxes to my car across the street.
Yes you can order their things through catalogs but I believe it’s better to see it in person see you know exactly what you’re getting when you pay for it.

Schwartz is a jewelry maker’s hidden paradise. You can find all the high quality metal pieces here that you can’t find at your run-​of-​the-​mill craft store. Schwartz also carries high quality tools and classy packaging so you can kiss those shotty wire cutters & ghetto mini ziploc bags goodbye! When I compared the quality products (i.e. sterling silver or gold plated earring hooks), I found Schwartz to be equal or even cheaper than other craft stores.
The shop is a bit tricky to find, as it is on the 4^th floor of an unmarked building on Bethel St. So don’t get discouraged. If you feel like you might be in the wrong place… chances are, you’re headed in the right direction.

Love Schwartz to pick-​up jewelry supplies that I need quickly… can’t wait for it to be mailed to me And/​OR want to see it in person. They have a good selection of the basics and specialty items that you need to create jewelry. Also, they have jewelry components like clasps, chain, charms, etc. also on hand. For displays, they have a LOT to choose from as well as boxes, plastic bags, jewelry tags, etc. Check them out. Street parking.
