OEM/ODM Custom Development | S925 Silver Jewelry & Brass Jewelry Wholesale
Project Overview
Our client is a well-established jewelry wholesaler in Thailand with extensive experience in local wholesale and retail distribution channels.
Before partnering with us, they frequently encountered loose stones and stone loss in bulk orders. These quality issues not only affected delivery efficiency but also damaged their brand reputation and increased after-sales costs.
The client was looking for a reliable manufacturing partner capable of providing a complete production solution that could eliminate stone loss at the source and support a long-term, stable supply relationship.
The Root Causes of Frequent Stone Loss
After analyzing the issue, we identified four major causes:
- Insufficient design experience and lack of understanding of different stone-setting techniques.
- Inaccurate structural design, resulting in mismatched stone seats and prong dimensions.
- Overreliance on adhesive stone-setting methods with poor long-term durability.
- Lack of standardized production processes, leading to inconsistent manual workmanship.
Client Requirements
The client’s primary objectives were:
- Eliminate loose stones and stone loss in mass production through improved craftsmanship and engineering.
- Replace traditional glue-based stone setting with a more durable and secure setting method suitable for daily wear and international shipping.
- Reduce cross-border returns and replacements caused by stone loss, lowering after-sales costs and improving supply chain stability.
- Establish a long-term partnership supported by consistent stone-setting quality and continuous product expansion.
Our Solution
With over 20 years of experience in jewelry design and stone-setting manufacturing, we developed a customized solution that differs significantly from the glue-based methods commonly used in the industry.
Experienced Design Team with Precision Stone Structure Engineering
Our senior design team carefully evaluates each stone’s size, shape, and setting requirements. Every stone seat and prong structure is custom-engineered to ensure a precise fit.
We optimize:
- Stone seat dimensions
- Prong thickness
- Prong length
- Prong spacing
- Setting curvature
This structural precision eliminates the risk of loose stones before production even begins.
100% Handcrafted Stone Setting — No Glue Used
All stones are secured using traditional hand-setting techniques without any adhesive.
Instead of relying on glue, our craftsmen use the physical tension of metal settings to lock stones firmly in place, providing superior resistance to vibration, impact, and daily wear.
This approach significantly reduces the risk of stone loss during transportation and long-term use.
Highly Skilled Stone-Setting Specialists
Our stone-setting team has more than 15 years of industry experience and is proficient in a wide range of setting techniques, including:
- Prong Setting
- Bezel Setting
- Micro Pave Setting
- Channel Setting
- Bead Setting
Whether working with silver or brass jewelry, our craftsmen can handle complex designs while maintaining exceptional setting security and precision.
Multi-Stage Quality Control System
To ensure every stone remains secure, we implement multiple inspection procedures throughout production:
- Stone security inspection immediately after setting
- Secondary quality inspection after finishing processes
- Vibration testing to detect potential loose stones before shipment
This comprehensive quality control system minimizes risks and ensures product reliability.
Results
After implementing our solution, the project achieved outstanding results:
1. Near-Zero Stone Loss Rate
Loose stones and stone loss defects were virtually eliminated, solving the client’s long-standing quality concerns.
2. Proven Durability During International Shipping
The handcrafted stone-setting process successfully withstood long-distance cross-border transportation without generating significant after-sales complaints.
3. Reduced Returns and Lower Operating Costs
The client experienced fewer returns and replacements, resulting in lower logistics and customer service expenses while improving procurement efficiency.
4. Increased Sales Performance
Several stone-set jewelry collections became best-selling products in the client’s offline retail channels, contributing to higher shipment volumes.
5. Long-Term Strategic Partnership Established
The client continues to place repeat orders and collaborate on new product developments, significantly increasing reorder rates and strengthening our partnership.
Client Testimonial
“Most factories we worked with relied on glue to secure stones. By the time the products arrived in Thailand, we often faced large numbers of loose or missing stones, leading to costly returns and customer complaints.
Since partnering with Leiyuan Jewelry, the precise stone-setting design and professional hand-setting craftsmanship have completely changed the situation. The stones remain secure even after long-distance shipping, and product quality is consistently reliable.
Their standardized production process and dependable craftsmanship give us peace of mind, and we look forward to expanding our cooperation in the future.”
