This may be dated advice, but I used to have a mail order business and I sold a lot of jewelry, watches, etc. I bought wholesale from importers. There is usually one or two in every medium sized town you can buy from. I bought watches in the price range of $2 to $4 each to retail for $12 to $25. Buying in quantity helped me. I would buy in lots of 100 to 1000 at a time to get the biggest discount. Sometimes you can purchase odd-lot(a mixture) shipments. Usually the internet is retail and even if you got one or two at a discount, shipping would increase you price pp(per piece) so much, you would not come out.
Look in your local yellow pages and get some addresses and just go there and check them(importers) out. Another good source of information is flea markets. Ask dealers where they get their jewelry, watches, etc. Sometimes auctions are held locally you can get bargains from. That is how I bought 65,000 men's belts one time ;)

You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to open a jewelry store where your overhead is high and your flow of traffic is low. Check out my website. This business changed my life.
