Where to buy wholesale price gold earrings

Where can I get wholesale price gold hoop earrings in Los Angeles?

I actually work very close to the downtown LA jewelry district, but it's kind of a mindboggling maze. Are those stores actually wholesalers or do they get their inventory from wholesale stores? Bottom line: what is the cheapest place to buy real gold hoop earrings in bulk (say, 10-20 at a time). And what do you think is the wholesale price for 18k or 24k gold hoop earrings?

Yeah, I drive through the LAJD every day and it truly is a maze. Though what I've gathered from out in the the traffic jam is that most of the places that you can walk into from the street are retailers. The wholesalers must be upstairs or through the back.

Everything I can find on the 'net is circa early this decade and really happy about how the district is bringing its business online. Then it throws a DB error or links a dead page. So, sorry I don't have anything concrete for you. You may have to just brave the maze, ask a lot of questions with a lot of different people, and then report your findings for posterity. Good luck. =\
