South
Sun Bead and Jewelry Superstore

A
few interesting facts about South Sun (aka "Alotta
Jewelry"):
- South
Sun has
millions of beads, bracelets, earrings, necklaces,
rings,
pendants, chains and other adornments in stock!
-
They are a worldwide wholesaler of beads, silver
and jewelry which recently
opened to the public. They sell their unique adornments to boutique
jewelry
shops, bead stores and big department stores across North America, Europe
and Australia.
- As
a sign in their store/warehouse states, “You can either
buy our jewelry from
us or you can buy our jewelry from the stores and department stores we
sell to
for 300% - 500% more."
-
Interesting note: Many of their customers
actually spend 3, 6, even 8 hours in
their store! It’s not unusual for customers to lose track of time there’s
that much
to see.
-
South Sun
will also be welcoming our group
with a surprise free gift and even
deeper discounts than their normal deep discounts.
