Jewelry Tools & Workshop Supplies at Wholesale

Importers who buy finished jewelry often need bench tools and consumables for their own setting, sizing and repair work. Sourcing both from one factory simplifies freight and customs.

Core bench tools

Consumables with the best repeat economics

Buffing wheels, polishing compounds, soldering flux, burrs, gem jars and parcel papers are consumed constantly and reorder predictably. They carry lower margins per unit but create reliable repeat purchase behaviour — useful when you also sell finished goods.

What to verify before importing tools

• Voltage and plug standard for polishing motors and ultrasonic cleaners.
• Spare part availability for motors and handpieces.
• Bulk vs retail packaging — workshop buyers usually prefer bulk.
• Battery or gas restrictions on air freight for torches and aerosols.

Bundling strategy

Combine tools with your jewelry order in one shipment to amortise freight, but declare everything accurately. Tools and jewelry sit under different HS headings, so the invoice must list them as separate lines with their own values and codes.

Starter kit for a new workshop

We assemble a standard starter kit — gauges, loupes, clamps, burr set, polishing motor, buffs, compounds, ultrasonic cleaner and storage — for buyers opening a setting or repair bench alongside their retail business. Ask for the current kit list and pricing.

What to put in your purchase specification

Before you place a wholesale order, write the specification down and make the factory confirm it in writing. Every dispute we see between a buyer and a supplier traces back to a vague or missing specification sheet. The following items are the ones that actually cause problems when they are left open:

MOQ, lead time and payment terms

Our standard terms across the catalogue are straightforward, and they are the same terms we quote in writing rather than adjusting per enquiry:

• MOQ — 10 pieces per design for stock specifications, 50 pieces for mixed-design lots. Custom development starts from 30 pieces per style in 925 silver and 10 pieces in gold.
• Tiered pricing — list price to 49 pieces, about 8% off from 50 pieces, about 14% off from 200 pieces, and negotiated pricing above 500 pieces with reserved production capacity.
• Lead time — 7–15 days for stock designs, 10–20 days for custom or certified production runs. Add 3–7 days for express transit to Europe and North America.
• Payment — 30% deposit with the balance before shipment, by T/T, PayPal, Western Union or Alibaba Trade Assurance.
• Samples — single samples ship at list price and the cost is credited against your first order above 200 pieces.
• Quality guarantee — 30-day return window on stock items, and a written remanufacture-or-credit commitment if a parcel falls outside the approved tolerances.

Quality control: what happens before your parcel leaves

Buyers who have been burned before usually want to know exactly what inspection was performed. This is our standard sequence on every wholesale order, whether it is 20 pieces or 2,000:

1. Incoming stone grading. Every parcel is checked for colour, clarity and measurement against the order sheet before it enters the setting line. Rejected stones are pulled, not downgraded and used anyway.
2. In-process inspection. Setters check prong security, stone alignment and surface finish at each station rather than at the end of the line.
3. Final QC under 10× magnification. Polish, plating thickness, clasp and hinge function, and hallmark accuracy are verified piece by piece.
4. Cleaning, photographing, packing. Pieces are cleaned, photographed against your PO number, and packed in individual poly bags inside export cartons.
5. Document preparation. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate copies and — where required — a material declaration stating that the stones are laboratory-grown.

You receive the photographs and the packing list before the parcel ships, so you can flag anything before it leaves rather than after it arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix metals and stone grades in one order?

Yes. You can combine 925 sterling silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold in the same production run, and specify different colour and clarity grades per line. Every combination is confirmed on a single approval sheet before production starts, so there is no ambiguity about which line is which.

How consistent is grading across repeat orders?

Repeat orders are graded against the master sample kept on file under your account, which is why buyers who reorder regularly see far less variation than buyers who switch suppliers each season. Tolerances are written into the approval sheet, so a reorder cannot drift without your written agreement.

Do you provide photography for my online store?

Every catalogued design has front, three-quarter and macro imagery in sRGB at print resolution, named to match the SKU so the assets map straight into your product database. For orders above 200 pieces we photograph your private-label version at no additional cost.

What happens if the goods do not match the sample?

Send photographs and the SKU list within 14 days of delivery. If the deviation exceeds the tolerances on your approval sheet, we remake the affected pieces or issue a credit — this is covered by our written quality guarantee and applies to every order, not only the first one.
