I am looking for a jewelry wholesaler who I can purchase a large
quantity of  American Flag lockets from (both solid gold and sterling
silver) to sell at
retail. Or the same from a jewelry manufacturer who can design and
produce them for me.  Searching for jewelry wholesaler/manufacturer on
Google produces
a long list, but they are actually reatilers who sell at "wholesale"
prices, not truly manufacturers or wholesalers.
