Setting up supplier links in China?

[red120]

I've been thinking about starting a store to sell jewellery in Canada, since I think there's a huge unfilled demand for that where I live... anyone have any idea how to set up supplier links in China? Small-scale wholesale, I'm not gonna be bringing 5 digits of stuff in, so I only want to invest maybe a thousand or so at a time...

Looking at sterling silver and gold, mostly. Looked at a few online sites, but all of the quality is so bad. I don't want to provide a low quality item, even if the price is good.

I will be flying to China in a month, also..

Anyways, anyone's advice or experience would be appreciated a lot.. thanks.
