Plenty of the messages we get start the same way. Someone runs a small brand in Europe; their local supplier's prices have crept up, and there is hardly any margin left. So, they wonder about European jewelry brands sourcing jewelry from India and whether it's worth the hassle. Mostly, it is. A silver gemstone jewelry manufacturer in India based can give you handwork, lots of stones, and sensible prices in one place.
Jaipur's been the go-to place for cut stones and silverwork for ages. Stone cutters, silversmiths, and polishers are all in the same city, often a few streets apart, so jewelry manufacturing in Jaipur doesn't involve much waiting around. If a silver jewelry manufacturer based in Jaipur needs a particular moonstone, somebody nearby probably has it.
Honestly, this part scares people most. How to identify a trusted jewelry manufacturer in India if you haven't seen them? Let us tell you, check if they actually make jewelry or whether they are just reselling it, since there's not much a trader can do if things go wrong. Read the reviews, ask for references, and book a video call to view the workshop. A proper silver jewelry supplier based in India won't mind and if they get weird about it, then that tells you plenty of the things.
Pick the piece up first. Handmade silver gemstone jewelry should feel solid, not hollow. Find the 925 stamp. Check that the stone sits snug in its setting, and run a finger along the edges to see if anything snags. Small differences between pieces are normal with handmade work; that is half the appeal. Rough finishing is not, so check properly.
From what we see, many European buyers like finer, quieter designs, like thin bands and small pendants, and moonstone, labradorite, amethyst and garnet do well there. Don't treat that as a good thing, though. Try a small mix and watch your customers pick up what they are interested in. For any custom silver gemstone jewelry, just send some drawings or photos of what you like and we will do the rest at Akrati Jewels.
MOQ is simply the minimum quantity a manufacturer will produce on a single design; this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so ask early! Take samples first before ordering in bulk, particularly in a rush. Timelines are dependent on design and quantity; dates should be confirmed in writing with a margin of error. Things slip. They always do.
The price quoted is not an actual quotation. Once it arrives in Europe, shipping and packaging fees such as customs duty and VAT are added and rules vary from country to country, so check your own. Looking for expert advice on importing silver jewelry from India to Europe? Inquire with your supplier about their typical shipping methods and the paperwork that is included.
Wear the sample for a couple of days. Seriously. Examine the hallmark, play with the clasps, inspect each of the stones. Upon arrival of the bulk order, discuss a few items from the bulk order against a sample, and ask what quality checks are done before the packing.
