I designed a piece of jewelry myself and would like to order one from a jewelry manufacturer. Is that possible?
First, you need to realize that jewelry manufacturing in factories is done in bulk production. Under normal circumstances, they won’t accept individual custom orders unless you can afford the sample-making cost, but that would be too expensive and not worth it. Alternatively, you can opt for small workshops that do offer custom services.
Can I order one piece of jewelry from a manufacturer?
For a jewelry factory to produce one piece of jewelry, it first needs to create a 3D design, then develop molds based on the 3D design. After the molds are ready, the factory proceeds with sampling, which takes 5-7 days. Additionally, raw materials must be procured, resulting in a total cost of approximately 1,000 yuan. However, the sampling fee typically ranges from 300 to 500 yuan, and once the bulk order is placed, the factory refunds the sampling fee to the customer. Therefore, sampling alone is actually a loss-making process.
