The recently released MJSA Buyer’s Resource Vol. 1 provides a critical approach to buying goods and services that will provide major savings for jewelry companies, according to its publisher, the Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America.

MJSA describes the new book as a “smart shopping” manual for the jewelry industry. Industry experts and association researchers provide money-saving insights into how to make better purchasing decisions on everything from gemstones to capital equipment, as well as how to have a more cost-effective relationship with contract casters, CAD/CAM bureaus, and other service providers.

In addition, the book  presents upcoming fashion and color trends (supplied by the Jewelry Information Center) to ensure that buyers of finished jewelry can capitalize on them.

A companion to the MJSA Buyer’s Guide, the Buyer’s Resource contains a listing of MJSA member companies.

All members of MJSA receive a free copy of the Buyer’s Resource and may buy additional copies at $25 a piece. Non-members pay $29.50 for each copy. To order, go to mjsa.org.
