Shannon Yee — Freesia Wholesale Fashion Jewelry

Founded in 2005, Canada-based Freesia has been wholesaling fashion jewellery of Urban Boho, Ethnic, Exotic, Retro and Designer Chic styles at from US$1.95 to US$14.95. Commonly seen fashionable baubles do not appeal to us, therefore we look for chunkier styles and bolder colours, particularly exotic handmade craftsmanship. India and Indonesia are hence our favourite countries from which to source products. We plan to launch our Vintage collection of jewellery in 2010.

Our cuffs are very popular among customers, while the chunky rings continue to be hot sellers with great potential sales. Freesia's products are mostly exported to the boutiques, gift stores, spas, salons etc in Canada and the United States.

Freesia predicts that the hottest staples for Autumn/Winter 2010/11 will include: heavily layered jewellery, a colour combo of darker hues contrasting with light tones or bright colours clashing with each other, for example: navy blue with yellow, stripe patterns and abstract designs, all extending last year's chilly "rockability."
