Product & Quality

What quality control measures do you implement for your jewelry?

Despite our competitive wholesale pricing, quality control is at the core of our business model. Our comprehensive quality assurance program includes:

• Direct oversight at our dedicated manufacturing facilities in Yiwu, China
• Multi-stage inspection process from production to packaging
• Standardized testing procedures for durability and wear
• Material verification before production begins
• Finish quality assessment under multiple lighting conditions
• Functional testing of all clasps, closures, and moving parts
• Random batch sampling for extended wear testing
• Final inspection before shipping to ensure packaging integrity

This rigorous approach helps ensure your customers receive jewelry that exceeds expectations at its price point, reducing returns and building loyalty to your store.

Can you explain your 6-point quality inspection process?

Our signature 6-point quality inspection process ensures every piece meets our standards:

1. Material Verification: We confirm all materials match specifications before production begins
2. Structural Integrity: Each piece is tested for strength at connection points and weight distribution
3. Finish Evaluation: Items are inspected under different lighting to check for consistency, plating coverage, and visual appeal
4. Functional Testing: All clasps, earring backs, adjustable elements, and closures are tested multiple times
5. Measurement Confirmation: Dimensions are verified against specifications (chain lengths, pendant sizes, etc.)
6. Final Appearance Assessment: Trained inspectors examine each piece for overall aesthetic quality and alignment with design intent

This systematic approach helps us maintain consistent quality across our entire catalog.

What materials are used in your fashion jewelry?

Our fashion jewelry utilizes a carefully selected range of materials chosen for their optimal balance of appearance, durability, and value:

• Base metals including brass, zinc alloy, and stainless steel
• Premium electroplating in gold-tone, silver-tone, and specialty finishes
• Glass and acrylic gemstone alternatives
• Crystal embellishments in various cuts and colors
• Hypoallergenic posts for sensitive ears (on select styles)
• Resin and enamel detailing
• Natural elements like wood, shell, and stone in select pieces

We provide complete material specifications for each item in our catalog to support transparent communication with your customers.

What is the difference between your gold-tone and actual gold jewelry?

Our gold-tone jewelry features premium electroplated finishes that provide the luxurious appearance of gold without the associated cost:

• Gold-tone items utilize quality base metals with specialized electroplating processes
• The plating creates a durable gold appearance that resists tarnishing
• Unlike solid gold, our pieces are accessible at price points that support healthy retail margins
• We never misrepresent our materials-all items are properly labeled as “gold-tone” rather than “gold”
• Different collections offer varying thickness of plating to meet different price points and wear expectations

This approach allows your customers to enjoy fashion-forward designs that look premium without the investment of precious metals.

How durable are your fashion jewelry pieces?

Our jewelry is designed to exceed durability expectations at its price point:

• Most pieces withstand normal daily wear for 6-12 months with proper care
• Plated finishes undergo accelerated wear testing to prevent premature fading
• Structural connections are reinforced to prevent breakage at stress points
• Clasps and closures are tested for repeated use durability
• Post-production treatments help resist tarnishing and color change
• Water exposure resistance varies by collection (specific guidelines included with each line)

We provide care instructions for retailers to share with customers to maximize the longevity of each piece.

Do you test for common allergens in your materials?

Yes, we take material safety seriously and implement testing for common allergens:

• All earring posts in our hypoallergenic lines are nickel-free
• We clearly label which collections are designed for sensitive skin
• Material composition is fully disclosed for each product
• Our standard lines meet general industry safety standards
• Our premium lines undergo additional testing for common skin irritants
• Testing documentation is available upon request for sensitive items

We recommend retailers clearly communicate which lines are specifically designed for sensitive skin versus our standard fashion jewelry collections.

How often do you refresh your collections?

We maintain a strategic refresh schedule to keep your inventory current while allowing sufficient sell-through time:

• Major collection refreshes occur quarterly (four times per year)
• Each refresh introduces 80-120 new designs
• Approximately 20% of our catalog rotates annually
• Bestselling items remain in continuous production
• Limited edition seasonal collections launch twice yearly
• “Core collection” items with consistent sales performance remain available year-round
• Advance notice is provided before items are discontinued

This balanced approach ensures you always have fresh merchandise while maintaining reliable inventory of proven sellers.

What is your approach to trend research and implementation?

Our dedicated design team employs a comprehensive trend research methodology:

• Monitoring of global fashion runway trends 12-18 months ahead of mass market
• Analysis of celebrity and influencer jewelry styling patterns
• Regular attendance at major jewelry trade shows worldwide
• Digital trend tracking across social media platforms
• Collaboration with color forecasting agencies
• Retail market performance data evaluation
• Feedback collection from our wholesale partners

We translate these insights into commercial designs that balance trend-responsiveness with wearability and broad appeal, allowing your customers to stay fashion-forward without overwhelming them with extreme styles.
