I have several stories of startups who became and are becoming successful in the jewelry business. This one is about hip hop jewelry in the early 2000's. He was the king in Oklahoma City. Inside of crossroads Mall which is no longer what it used to be. He made 6 figure annual income and my dad was his jeweler. There has always been enough jewelry to go around for the jewelers. One other jeweler my dad helped out also now owns a 7 figure business and he's not an American citizen. In fact he was deported several times and still managed to come back and grow his empire. These and other success stories in the business should prove that there's plenty of money to be made in this business.
