AU Dollar, BP, CAD and Euro up 18-43% Vs. USD

If you are in Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada or Europe, listen up! In the past year many foreign currencies have made huge gains against the dollar. About a year ago 1 AUD would get you only $.61 US Dollar. Today your AUD gets you $.87 USD. That is a huge swing, actually 43% appreciation for the AUD. For the Canadian Dollar, the increase is about 20% and the Euro and British Pound climbed by 18%.

World currencies react basically the same vs the dollar. Normally, although the AUD may go up vs. the USD, my costs would go up because its costing me more to make the jewelry. But NOT in this case. This time around you are literally paying 18-43% less for the same jewelry you were buying last year, because the currencies in which I pay for my jewelry (primarily Indian and Nepali Rupees) have not beat the dollar. Take advantage of the global economy when it works for you, that is my advice.

You may think, still, why would I buy my wholesale jewelry or wholesale silver jewelry from a wholesaler in the United States? Why not? It only takes about a week to get your order, everything is in stock and I ship 10-20 parcels to Australia every week. All the jewelry on my site has been proven to sell well in western markets.
