Looking for Jewelry Manufacturer Recommendations - Any Country Welcome

Hey everyone!

I'm launching a jewelry brand focused on dark romantic/vintage-inspired designs and need manufacturer recommendations. Open to any country/region!

What I need:

  • Sterling silver jewelry
  • Natural gemstones or CZ options
  • CAD design services
  • Small batch production (100-200 pieces to start)
  • Sampling/prototyping capabilities

My situation:

  • Have detailed sketches ready
  • Need full development support (CAD through production)
  • Looking for quality but reasonable pricing
  • Want to build long-term manufacturing relationship

What I'd love to know:

  1. Which manufacturers have you actually worked with and would recommend?
  2. What countries/regions worked best for your budget and quality needs?
  3. Typical MOQs and pricing ranges I should expect for sterling silver?
  4. Any major red flags or mistakes to avoid when vetting manufacturers?
  5. Direct contact vs. sourcing platforms - what worked better for you?

Really appreciate any real experiences you can share - the good, bad, and ugly! Thanks!
