Another way to start a jewelry business in Slovenia is by opening a wholesale company, which allows the businessmen to further sale the respective products to other legal entities – sole traders included. The company is allowed to modify the respective products by applying specific processing procedures and treatments, but special requirements have to be met, as presented below:
- • the wholesaler has to meet minimum technical and spatial conditions imposed by the Slovenian legislation;
- • apply regular verifications of the instruments used to measure the quality requirements of the jewelry products;
- • when purchasing precious jewelry products from a supplier, the latter (or any of its representatives) is obligated to show evidence of compliance with the local standards by submitting documents regarding the metals used with the Metrology Institute;
- • the products must contain a label presenting the mark of the supplier and the standard of fineness.
The standards for manufacturing or selling jewelry products in Slovenia are given by the Precious Metal Products Act, Metrology Act and the Trade Act. In Slovenia, most of the gold products are manufactured by using white and yellow gold with alloys such as silver and copper.
