Our family-founded business started with modest roots in 1977 and, in the 47 years since, has been helping retailers of all sizes to bring gorgeous sterling silver and 9ct gold jewellery to their customers.
About us
Give your customers the look and quality of dream jewellery at non-branded, affordable prices.
CME is one of the UK’s leading wholesalers of high-quality sterling silver and 9ct gold products, with over 6500 beautiful designs to choose from.
We offer an ever-evolving and expanding range of non-branded jewellery to suit every style, from traditional and timeless classics to trend-led, fashionable designs. Our in-house design and buying team works hard with suppliers across the globe, creating stand-out designs that both reflect and challenge the status quo.
We allow retailers to benefit from a low minimum order value, meaning you can try out our range without a large financial commitment and find the pieces that suit your customers best. For those retailers who are able to order in larger quantities, we offer a bespoke design and sourcing service.

Exclusive to Retail
We trade solely with retailers, big and small, and never directly to the general public. Our high-quality, non-branded jewellery typically offers greater margins than branded products and gives you the ability to market collections with your own unique branding.
We do not have travelling representatives but keep our margins low by selling exclusively through our website.
As a member of the British Jewellers Association and the Responsible Jewellery Council, you can be sure that each of our products is manufactured and designed to the highest of standards, and is always offered at great value with an honest price.
