Qifu Jewellery · The buyer’s craft notebook
Guangzhou-based Qifu /supplies pearl settings, finished pearl jewelry and diamond jewelry to B2B wholesalers, retailers and brands. For OEM development, confirm the casting, plating and pearl-assembly route against your design, including process responsibility and approval points.
01 / Construction
A setting describes how a gemstone is held. Use a reference drawing to agree the construction before comparing quotations.
Metal claws secure a gemstone while leaving much of it visible. Prong shape and placement affect both the outline and the finished profile.
Specify: stone shape and dimensions, claw layout, setting height and the approved side view.
Review a prong specification ↗A metal rim surrounds the gemstone’s edge. Full and partial bezels create different outlines and levels of coverage.
Specify: stone outline, rim coverage, edge profile and the fit shown in the approved drawing.
Discuss a bezel construction ↗Small stones sit close together and are held by small metal beads or prongs, creating a continuous field of stones.
Specify: stone sizes, row layout, setting area, stone type and inspection points for the sample.
Share a pavé reference ↗For pearl settings: these gemstone terms do not define a pearl’s attachment. Confirm the pearl cup or peg, drilling, attachment method and compatible pearl diameter separately. Start with our pearl mounting selection guide.
Terminology reference: GIA’s guide to ring settings.
02 / Surface specification
A finish name alone is not a complete coating specification. Agree the coating system and acceptance criteria for the selected metal and design.
For a rhodium-plated style, identify the base metal and the intended appearance separately from the deposited coating. Do not infer thickness, composition or service life from a photograph.
Plating values and verification arrangements are agreed for each project. No standard thickness or wear guarantee is implied here.
03 / Surface character
Finish describes surface texture and appearance. Approve a physical reference and specify exactly where each finish belongs.
A reflective surface that makes the shape and edges visually prominent.
Review: reflections, surface marks and edges on the sample; define which inner and outer areas are polished.
Discuss a polished finish ↗Terms used for a softer, less reflective appearance. Their exact texture can vary between specifications.
Review: the approved texture, its coverage and the transition into polished areas. Confirm feasibility per style.
Share a finish reference ↗A surface with a visible directional grain, where specified and technically suitable.
Review: grain direction, visual consistency and boundaries. Define the comparison conditions for batch approval.
Review brushed-finish options ↗See the manufacturing process and discuss acceptance points through our quality control page. Specific finish availability must be confirmed for your design.
04 / Product application
Use these category briefs to prepare an inquiry. These are specification topics for your selected design; final dimensions, materials and included components belong in the approved quotation.
Define the mounting around your pearl’s geometry and intended assembly.
Bring pearl selection, metalwork and assembly into one agreed specification.
Specify the diamond type and setting construction together for quotation review.
05 / Inquiry to approval
For wholesalers, retailers and brand buyers: send a style reference, destination market and quantities alongside your technical requirements.
We develop products from customer-provided designs, references and specifications. For OEM, identify the approved design, branding and finish. For ODM inquiries, confirm the required design contribution and feasibility before treating it as an agreed service.
Provide quantities by design, metal and size so the quotation can define minimums and mixed-style conditions. Request separate sample, development and tooling costs, and agree any sample-fee credit toward production in writing.
Agree sample preparation, review and approval stages before setting the production schedule. Confirm the start conditions and dispatch target; shipping transit is planned separately.
Packaging method: agreed for the order, including individual protection, labels and outer packing. Specify individual protection, item labels, packing quantities and any branded packaging for quotation. Confirm destination-specific documentation and any requested testing before order approval.
06 / Buyer questions
Commercial terms are confirmed in your quotation for the selected product and project.
Confirm minimums by design, material and customization scope, including any mixed-style conditions. Do not assume one minimum applies across all categories.
Request a breakdown of sample, development and tooling charges. Agree shipping costs and any sample-fee credit toward production in writing; free samples are not assumed.
Agree sample preparation, revisions and approval dates for the brief. Set the production schedule against material availability, specifications and quantity, with transport timing estimated separately.
We develop products from customer-provided designs, references and specifications. Share your OEM requirements for review. The design contribution and feasibility required for an ODM project must be confirmed before order approval.
State the destination market and required documents in your inquiry. Confirm the issuing body, covered item or batch, scope, availability and cost for the selected order in writing. No certification is implied for all products.
