MATERIAL SELECTION GUIDE

Choose the Right Materials for Your Jewelry Collection

Compare base metals and decorative materials for your next jewelry or accessory project. Start with your design, wearing requirements and target cost, then shortlist options for sampling and OEM/ODM production.

What Matters Most for Your Design?

Start with your main priority. These options provide a starting point for discussion; the final choice depends on your product’s structure, finish and intended use.

Everyday Wear

Explore stainless steel options for frequently worn chains, rings, bracelets and pendants.

Lightweight Statement Pieces

 Explore resin and acrylic components for larger designs with controlled weight.

Natural Texture & Color

Explore natural stones, pearls, shell and leather for distinctive material combinations.

Compare Base Metals

Choose the metal around the design—not just the color. Review the required shape, construction, finish and order quantity together.
