Clazoire vs Stuller —
two different jobs.
Stuller is the biggest name in US jewelry supply: a manufacturer-distributor shipping more than 200,000 products next-day from a 600,000-square-foot facility in Lafayette, Louisiana. Clazoire is a factory in Surat with a Toronto desk, making solid 10–18K gold to order and shipping in 5–10 business days. Stuller solves 'I need it tomorrow.' We solve 'I want factory pricing on the gold pieces my case actually sells.' Most stores that buy from us also keep a Stuller account, and that is the correct way to run a jewelry business.
Two Different Jobs
A warehouse and a factory.
Stuller is the biggest name in US jewelry supply, and they earned it. Founded in 1970, they run a 600,000-square-foot operation in Lafayette, Louisiana and ship more than 200,000 products — mountings, findings, diamonds, tools, packaging — to more than 40,000 jewelry professionals, by their own account. Clazoire is a different kind of company. We are a factory in Surat with a Toronto desk. Stuller solves “I need it tomorrow.” We solve “I want factory pricing on the gold pieces my case actually sells.” Both are real jobs. Most stores that buy from us also buy from Stuller, and that is the correct way to run a jewelry business.

Where Stuller Is The Right Call
For the bench, order from Stuller.
Be clear about this: for findings, tools, supplies, and one-off mountings, order from Stuller. They manufacture findings in Louisiana, they stock deep, and an in-stock order placed by the weekday cutoff arrives the next business day across the contiguous 48. Their Canadian program is genuinely good — a 3:00 p.m. local cutoff with next-day delivery, duties and taxes on a single invoice with Stuller as importer of record, and Toronto-based support. A repair bench cannot wait ten days for a jump ring. We do not sell jump rings. That aisle is theirs.
Where The Factory Layer Changes The Math
Skip the warehouse on the gold you reorder.
Stuller manufactures some of its line and distributes the rest; either way, you are buying from a warehouse that has to fund more than 200,000 SKUs, over 1,500 employees, and next-day logistics. That overhead is real value — it is what makes tomorrow possible — and it is priced in. Clazoire skips the warehouse. Your order is produced on our own floor in Surat, passes a five-point QC, and ships factory-direct: 50% deposit, 5–10 business days, fully insured to North America. Slower, yes. But on solid 10–18K gold with natural or lab diamonds, the margin difference per piece is the whole point.
Gold jewelry pricing is gold math plus labour plus whoever sits between you and the factory. Our prices are tied to the gold spot per gram we publish on our wholesale price index — you can check the math on any quote against that day's number, or run your own weights through the free gold calculator. A distributor price also carries stocking, warehousing, and overnight freight. That is not a markup trick; it is the honest cost of speed. Pay it when you need speed. Don't pay it on the core gold pieces you reorder every season and can plan two weeks ahead.
Opening An Account
Both sell to the trade only.
Both of us sell to the trade only. Stuller verifies your business through a third-party service, requires a W-9 as part of its AML compliance, and unlocks full resale inventory — including wholesale finished jewelry — once you file a state resale certificate. Clazoire works the same way at a smaller scale: you apply at /apply, an Ontario or Canadian retailer qualifies with a GST/HST number, and wholesale prices unlock once we approve the account. Neither company sells to the public. If you are a legitimate store, both doors open.
The Honest Verdict
Keep the Stuller account. Add us where a factory wins.
Keep a Stuller account. Use it for the bench, for findings, for the mounting a customer needs Friday, for anything where tomorrow matters more than margin.
Use Clazoire for the manufacturing side of your buying: solid-gold stock programs, chains and pendants priced at spot-linked factory rates, and custom or private-label pieces a catalog can't carry.
Run the test on a real piece: if a quote from us doesn't beat your landed distributor cost on a comparable solid-gold piece, don't place the order. We are asking to be one supplier on your list, in the lane where a factory actually wins.

Questions, Answered Straight
Clazoire and Stuller, compared honestly.
Only for part of the job. Stuller is a manufacturer-distributor built for next-day breadth — more than 200,000 products, from findings and tools to mountings and packaging, shipped from Lafayette, Louisiana. Clazoire is a factory: made-to-order solid 10–18K gold with natural or lab diamonds, produced in Surat and shipped in 5–10 business days on a 50% deposit. For findings, tools, and anything you need tomorrow, Stuller is the right supplier. For core solid-gold stock and custom or private-label production at spot-linked factory pricing, that is where a factory wins.
Stuller does not state a minimum order on its published ordering-information or shipping pages, and it is widely known for no-minimum, next-day service. Clazoire's minimums also start at 1 unit on most styles. On minimums the two are similar; the difference is speed versus factory pricing.
Per Stuller's published Canadian-services page, Canadian retailers get an extended 3:00 p.m. local cutoff with next-day delivery, one invoice that includes all duties and taxes with Stuller as the importer of record, Toronto-based support reps, and free returns to a Toronto address. It is a genuinely low-friction program, and for day-to-day bench and findings needs it is hard to beat. Clazoire ships factory-direct from Surat in 5–10 business days, fully insured.
