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:
- Which manufacturers have you actually worked with and would recommend?
- What countries/regions worked best for your budget and quality needs?
- Typical MOQs and pricing ranges I should expect for sterling silver?
- Any major red flags or mistakes to avoid when vetting manufacturers?
- Direct contact vs. sourcing platforms - what worked better for you?
Really appreciate any real experiences you can share - the good, bad, and ugly! Thanks!
