If GSW does not stock tons of pearls,diamonds and colored gems, then GSW does not have to pay inventory taxes and insurance costs.. get it?? And, if GSW has the ability to have shipped (overnight in most cases) almost any & every size. color, shape and design of every type of pearl, then it is the suppliers who have the burden of inventory costs not GSW. Yet this is the fact and our suppliers love it --after all they already have the costs! Thus, once again, we save YOU MONEY while delivering the best product for the best price!
