looking for jewelry manufacturer
hello everyone. i'm starting a new business. i have a few custom designs (drawings) that i've been working on for custom pendants. i just need to find a good and reliable jewelry manufacturer. i've contacted multiple manufacturers and they all require high MOQs, which i understand. but it's unaffordable for those who are just starting their business. so if anyone knows of any manufacturers that meet what i'm looking for below, please let me know.
here's what i'm looking for:
- allows sampling first before committing to a higher batch
- accepts low MOQs (ideally 10-50 pcs per design to start)
- work with 316L stainless steel
- can create custom double-sided pendants based on my drawings/designs (flat laser-cut pendants - no molding required)
- provides clear communication + regular updates throughout the process
- reliable quality control
- anti-fingerprint coating
- no hidden costs and fees
please do not PM me with sales pitches or catalog drops because i'm not interested. if you haven't personally worked with a manufacturer that fits my criteria, please do not comment. please do not use this post as a way to advertise your catalog. comments like "PM me" or "check my profile" will be ignored.
if you recommend a manufacturer, please include your experiences (like what you ordered from them and when).
