What Your First Quote Includes
Our initial quote provides a comprehensive overview of the project scope, including itemized costs for materials such as sterling silver 925 and gold vermeil, and labor associated with techniques like lost-wax casting and hand-fabrication. We outline the production timeline, typically 1-3 weeks for sampling and 3-6 weeks for bulk production, depending on complexity and quantity. The quote also details our payment terms, generally a 50% deposit with the balance due before shipping. We ensure transparency, and any additional requests such as assay office hallmarking for markets like the UK are discussed upfront.
Materials and Quality Assurance
Asmara Silver prides itself on using high-quality materials that meet export standards. Our offerings include sterling silver 925, fine silver 999, and gold vermeil, as well as solid gold in 14k and 18k. We also work with brass and bronze, setting pieces with natural gemstones like turquoise, lapis lazuli, and moonstone. Our commitment to quality extends to compliance with EU REACH and US standards for nickel, lead, and cadmium. Pieces are stamped 925 for authenticity, and independent assay/hallmarking can be arranged upon request. For more on our materials, visit Sterling Silver.
Minimum Order Quantities and Order Flexibility
Our Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) are designed to accommodate both new and established buyers. Typically, we require a modest minimum per design, often in the tens of pieces, allowing for mixed-design orders. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for first-time buyers or those testing new markets. For wholesale jewelry inquiries, we offer sampling before committing to bulk production, ensuring satisfaction with the final product. This approach supports a wide range of business models, from boutique retailers to large-scale importers.
Custom and OEM Production Options
Asmara Silver offers comprehensive OEM and custom production services. We can manufacture to your drawings, CAD files, or physical samples, providing private-label stamping and custom packaging to align with your brand identity. Our in-house design support (ODM) is available for those who require assistance in refining their concepts. This level of customization ensures your jewelry stands out in a competitive market, meeting specific consumer preferences and trends. Learn more about our capabilities at Jewelry Export Process.
Export and Shipping Logistics
Due to the high-value and compact nature of jewelry, we ship primarily via air. Options include international courier services like DHL and FedEx, or air freight, ensuring fast transit times, typically within days, depending on the route. Our shipments are insured, offering security and assurance. We offer FOB from Bali (Denpasar/Benoa) or CIF/courier-delivered options upon request. This ensures flexibility and convenience, catering to your logistical preferences and requirements.
Lead Times and Payment Terms
Our lead times are indicative, with sampling usually taking 1-3 weeks and bulk production approximately 3-6 weeks. These timelines depend on the order’s quantity and complexity. Standard payment terms involve a deposit, commonly around 50%, with the balance due before shipping. We accept T/T transfers, and escrow services are available for first-time orders, ensuring trust and security in our transactions. This structured approach facilitates smooth operations and mutual confidence in the business relationship.
