Clazoire vs Quality Gold —
the warehouse and the factory.
Quality Gold is a family distributor out of Fairfield, Ohio, founded in 1979, built to keep finished jewelry and giftware in stock and ship it overnight with no minimum order. Clazoire manufactures — solid 10–18K gold, natural and lab diamonds, made to order in Surat and priced against the gold spot we publish. They are the warehouse; we are the factory. A good store usually needs both, and this page says plainly where each one wins.
Two Different Jobs
Breadth on demand, and factory pricing.
Quality Gold is a family company out of Fairfield, Ohio, founded in 1979, and it does one thing at serious scale: keep a very deep in-stock catalog of finished jewelry and gift items — more than 165,000, per its Plumb Club member profile (its own site now cites over 200,000 products) — and ship them overnight with no minimum order. As of 2022, Quality Gold said it served more than 15,000 retailers across the US and Canada, and it runs operations in Fairfield, Toronto, Mumbai, and Lima. Clazoire does a different thing. We manufacture — solid 10–18K gold, natural and lab diamonds, made to order in Surat, priced against the gold spot we publish. They are the warehouse. We are the factory. A good store usually needs both.

Quality Gold figures are attributed to their source: its Plumb Club member profile (a self-published marketing profile) and its published account application. Quality Gold's own site currently cites different in-stock totals; where the numbers differ we say so.
Where Quality Gold Is The Right Call
One piece by Friday? That's their model.
If a customer wants a gold cross pendant by Friday and your case is empty, Quality Gold is the answer. Order one piece, no minimum, and it usually ships that day — its Plumb Club profile claims a 96% in-stock rate through most of the year. Their breadth covers what a factory line never will: charms, beads, giftware, stainless, sterling, licensed product, even independently certified pre-owned Rolex watches through their Swiss Crown program (these are certified by an independent third party, not part of Rolex's own certified-pre-owned program). Since announcing the HERCO acquisition in early 2023, they also reach into higher-end 14K, 18K, and platinum. For shallow, fast, one-off restocking across every counter in the store, that model works. We don't compete with it.
Where The Factory Layer Changes The Math
On core solid gold, remove the warehouse.
Quality Gold buys or makes product, warehouses it in Ohio, and sells it to you with overnight logistics built into the price. That is honest overhead — it is what no-minimum, next-day service costs. Clazoire removes that layer on the pieces where it matters most: core solid-gold inventory. Your order is produced on our own floor in Surat, passes a five-point QC, and ships factory-direct in 5–10 business days, fully insured, on a 50% deposit. You wait, and in exchange the price is gold spot per gram — published on our wholesale price index and checkable with the free gold calculator — plus labour and our margin. On gold you reorder every season, planning two weeks ahead is usually worth real points.
Accounts And Terms
Both sell to the trade only.
Both companies sell to the trade only. Quality Gold's application asks for a Federal ID, a Jewelers Board of Trade number, three trade references, and a copy of your state Retail Sales Tax Permit; approved accounts get 30-day terms, with a 2% monthly finance charge (a 24% APR) after that and a personal guarantee on the balance. Clazoire's application is at /apply: a Canadian retailer qualifies with a GST/HST number, and wholesale prices unlock when the account is approved. We work quote-first with a 50% deposit per order rather than open credit. Their terms suit high-frequency restocking. Ours suit planned production runs.
The Honest Verdict
Keep Quality Gold for breadth. Use us for the factory work.
Keep Quality Gold for what a warehouse does: breadth, speed, no minimums, gifts, and the odd single piece a customer is waiting on.
Use Clazoire for what a factory does: solid-gold chains, pendants, and custom pieces at spot-linked factory pricing, plus private-label work under your store's name.
Run the test: take a gold piece you reorder steadily, get our quote, and put it next to your landed cost from any distributor. If the factory math doesn't win by enough to justify a ten-day lead time, keep your current supplier for that piece.
