Hi all,
I new here, well sort of. I''ve been reading a lot of posts and learned a lot in the past year and something, using much of what I read as reference to buy an engagement ring. I proposed last year (May 16th) and I thank you for all your info.
What brings me here today (and finally registering) is this, since that time reading and learning and finally buying with full confidence in my ability to pick out something grand (in my eyes and hers at least) I have become very interested in the business. I''ve read some past articles on how to get into the business but I still come away wondering how much that actually applies to me.
So I come with this, I''m 29, in Canada and have a contact in China that will supply me with diamonds. But from my amateur knowledge and experience, I wouldn''t know what to do with them. Do I stand a chance?
First I guess, am I to old to get into the business. As from some reading on this board, it takes many years of study and then mentoring before able to do this well enough to make a business out of it.
Secondly, is importing diamonds a good business as I wouldn''t know who to sell it to. I would like to start off small and do this as a hobby business, not really looking to make a living off of it. But eventually maybe I would.
I would appreciate any advice or comments anyone would have.
Thanks,
Mike
