Allow time for buyer approval

The sample-making period does not include your review or a revision cycle. Record who approves the sample, when feedback is due and whether an updated sample is needed before bulk production can begin.

Review my target date

An estimated dispatch date is not an arrival guarantee. Ask which approvals and order conditions start the production period.

Three sourcing routes

Plan lead times by product category

The specification determines the work involved. Send a product reference and quantity per style so the quotation can address the correct materials, fit and finishing steps.

Pearl settings & semi-mounts

Plan around the pearl you intend to set, with mounting dimensions and finish agreed before approval.

Material & plating: Confirm metal, fineness, finish and any plating specification per reference.
Dimensions & pearl fit: Specify ring or component size, pearl diameter, shape, drill hole and post or cup dimensions.
Pearl type: State the intended pearl type and whether pearls are supplied by you or requested separately.

Quantities and sample costs

Include quantities by style, material and size so the quotation can define the applicable minimum. Request separate costs for samples, development, revisions and shipping, and agree any sample-fee credit toward production in writing.

OEM / ODM approval checkpoints

For OEM inquiries, share your design, dimensions and technical requirements. For ODM inquiries, share a reference, target collection and required changes. Confirm feasibility, drawings, sample scope and approval responsibilities in your quotation.

What can change the schedule?

Revised dimensions, pearl selection, metal or plating requirements, order quantities and packaging can change the work involved. Request an updated schedule after any change; keep the approved specification and sample reference together.

Review our manufacturing information and quality-control considerations before final approval.

Confirm when the production clock starts, including required approvals and any agreed payment or material-readiness conditions.

Buyer questions

Wholesale ordering FAQ

Confirm order-specific terms in writing. For further guidance, visit our wholesale purchasing FAQ.

Ask on WhatsApp

What is the MOQ for a wholesale jewelry order?

Provide quantities by design, metal, finish and size, including any customization. The quotation should state the applicable minimum and any rules for combining styles.

Is there a sample fee?

Ask for a breakdown of sample, development, revision and shipping charges. Any sample-fee credit against production must be agreed in writing before work starts.

How long do jewelry sampling, production and delivery take?

Agree a schedule for sample preparation, buyer review, revisions and production, with clear start conditions and a target dispatch date. Estimate transport for the destination and shipping method separately, and allow for destination clearance.

Can OEM / ODM customization affect the lead time?

Yes. Design changes, pearl fit, stone selection, metal finish and branded packaging can add review or preparation stages. Confirm feasibility and approve the specification and sample before agreeing on the bulk production schedule.

Are certificates or test reports included?

Specify the documents your destination requires and the materials or stones they must cover before quotation. Confirm availability, cost and any effect on the schedule; certificates are not included by default.
