As a Rio for Schools instructor, I have a special code to share that will give you a six month trial access to Wholesale benefits through Rio Grande Jewelry Supply.

Your student Wholesale access code is: RFSTDAVI

Important Code Instructions:

A) Go to www.riogrande.com

B ) Create an account or login to your existing account.

C) Under 'My account' click ‘Profile’ (desktop) or

Click the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) and select ‘Account Dashboard’ -select 'Profile' (mobile)

D) In Account Profile, under the “Instructor Code” section enter your instructor code and click on "Apply" to access your Student Wholesale benefits.

E) Once the Code is entered the page will state "Student" under the Rio Grande logo.

If you are already Wholesale or RioPro the screen will remain the same.

This code is not a promo code and will not work properly if you enter it in your cart at check out.

▶️ If you are currently a Wholesale customer through your own business or a RioPro member, we encourage you to go ahead and still enter in your code to help our program. This will link your account to me as your instructor and help the program develop over time. This will not interrupt your current benefits.

🫶 This helps them know that I am helping you.  I get paid nothing for this but it helps me as a teacher keep my standing with vendors.

If you have any question or need help using the code email Rio Grande at info@riogrande.com or call 800-545-6566.
