Which jewellery suppliers are still open during the coronavirus?
We appreciate at this unprecedented time that many of us have more time to make jewellery. Some of the jewellery suppliers have had to close but there are some that are open and ready for your orders. Here is a list of those suppliers worldwide that are still open for online orders and shipping.
These are unusual times and we would like to thank all the jewellery suppliers, delivery and postal workers that are still safely able to work. Let’s support these businesses as much as we can during this time.
Here are suppliers that are currently ( as of 2nd April 2020) open. They may have a smaller staff and longer lead times to process our orders to maintain their safety but they are open!
Note: suppliers are making decisions daily on their ability to keep trading and maintain the safety of their staff. We will endeavour to keep this resource up to date. Do email contact@jewellersacademy.com if you can recommend a supplier that is not listed here or if you spot any changes in trading for businesses listed. Thank you!
