Review Documentation for Your Selected Materials
Review available material and product test reports alongside your project requirements. Check the tested sample, report date and test scope to understand how each document relates to your design.
Some reports cover materials supplied by our suppliers. These documents relate to the samples identified in each report and do not automatically cover every finished jewelry design.
FAQ
1. Which material should I choose for my design?
Start with the product’s shape, intended use, target weight, finish and purchase budget. Share a reference image or drawing so we can help shortlist materials and review manufacturing feasibility.
2. Can one design combine several materials?
Mixed-material designs can be evaluated during development. Confirm how the materials connect, how their colors work together and whether the assembly meets your product requirements.
3. Does l’acier inoxydable 316L mean nickel-free?
No. 316L is a stainless steel grade and does not mean nickel-free. Specify any nickel-release testing requirements for your finished product.
4. Does the same Quantité minimale de commande apply to every material?
No. MOQ depends on the design, material, tooling, process and finish. Selected regular designs may start from 30 pcs/pairs, while custom or process-intensive projects require a separate review.
