Many pieces of jewelry are assembled by jewelry contractors, who use specialized processes to put together the components into finished items. Jewelry contractors sometimes specialize in either precious or costume jewelry. Jewelry contractors may also specialize in a particular type of jewelry, such as Native American jewelry, Celtic jewelry, religious jewelry, African jewelry, and others. Generally jewelry contractors assemble jewelry for wholesale suppliers. These jewelry wholesalers will then distribute the finished product to jewelry stores and other retailers. Jewelry contractors may perform jewelry assembly for one wholesaler, or for many different jewelry wholesalers. Some jewelry contractors perform manual component assembly, while others may utilize automated technology.
