Yes -- from logo application on the jewelry to custom tags, boxes, poly bags, and master cartons. We handle the entire branded packaging chain.
Certificates
What quality certifications do you have?
SGS certified. We can provide REACH, RoHS, and Nickel Release test reports. Third-party factory audits are welcome.
Pricing
How do I get a price quote?
Send us your design, quantity, and requirements via email or WhatsApp. We respond with a detailed quotation within 24 hours on business days.
Manufacturing
Production process, lead times & sampling
Do you manufacture all products in-house?
Yes. We own and operate our production lines in Yiwu, Zhejiang, China. All processes -- stamping, polishing, plating, assembly, and QC -- are performed in-house, giving us full control over quality and delivery timelines.
What is the typical sampling lead time?
Standard samples are completed within 7-10 business days. If you need rush samples, we can prioritize production for a 3-5 day turnaround at an additional fee.
How long does bulk production take?
Bulk orders typically require 25-35 business days after sample approval and deposit payment. Production time varies based on order complexity, quantity, and surface treatment requirements.
Can I visit your factory?
Absolutely. We welcome factory visits and audits. Please contact us in advance to schedule a visit. We can also arrange virtual factory tours via video call.
What production capacity do you have?
Our facility can produce over 500,000 pieces per month across rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and anklets. We can scale capacity for large seasonal orders with advance planning.
Materials
Steel grades, safety & material properties
What stainless steel grades do you work with?
We primarily use 316L surgical-grade stainless steel (our premium line) and 304 stainless steel (standard line). Both grades are highly corrosion-resistant, durable, and suitable for daily wear.
Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?
316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. It contains very low levels of nickel and meets EU Nickel Directive requirements. We can provide test reports upon request.
Do you offer eco-friendly material options?
Yes. We offer eco-certified stainless steel with REACH and RoHS compliance. Our packaging can also be made from recycled or FSC-certified materials for environmentally conscious brands.
Can you work with other metals or materials?
Our core expertise is stainless steel. We also work with brass, zinc alloy, and titanium for specific product lines. Contact us with your material requirements for a feasibility assessment.
PVD Coating
Colors, durability & coating process
What is PVD coating and why is it better?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a vacuum-based coating process that bonds a thin metallic layer onto the jewelry surface. It is far more durable than traditional electroplating -- typically 5-10× more scratch and tarnish resistant.
What PVD colors are available?
Standard colors include 18K gold, rose gold, black, gunmetal, silver, and champagne gold. Custom PVD colors can be developed for large orders. We maintain consistent color batches across production runs.
How long does PVD coating last?
With normal daily wear and proper care, PVD-coated stainless steel jewelry can maintain its finish for 3-5 years or longer. It is highly resistant to sweat, water, and light chemicals.
Does PVD coating affect the jewelry dimensions?
PVD coating adds an extremely thin layer (typically 0.5-5 microns), so it has negligible effect on dimensions or weight. Ring sizes and tolerances remain accurate post-coating.
Customization
OEM/ODM design, logo & personalization options
What customization options do you offer?
We support full OEM/ODM customization including: custom shapes and designs, logo application (laser engraving, screen printing, embossing, enamel filling), custom dimensions, PVD color selection, stone setting, and text/name engraving.
What file formats do you accept for custom designs?
We accept AI, PDF, CDR, EPS, DXF, and high-resolution JPG/PNG files. For 3D designs, STL and STP files are also supported. Our design team can also create designs from sketches or reference images.
Can you create designs from scratch?
Yes. Our in-house design team offers ODM services -- we develop original designs based on your brief, target market, and brand aesthetic. Concept sketches are provided before sampling begins.
Do you offer text or name engraving?
Yes. We offer laser engraving for custom text, names, dates, and symbols. Font selection, depth, and placement are all customizable. Minimum order quantities may apply for text personalization.
Can I mix different designs in one order?
Yes. We support mixed-design orders. Each design within the order must meet the per-style MOQ. We can combine multiple styles in one shipment to optimize freight costs.
Quality Control
QC process, inspections & standards
What is your quality control process?
Our QC process has four stages: (1) Incoming material inspection, (2) In-process production checks at key stages, (3) Pre-shipment final inspection of finished goods, and (4) Packaging and labeling verification. We maintain detailed QC reports for every order.
Can I request a third-party inspection?
Yes. We welcome and support third-party inspections by agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek. Please arrange the inspection before shipment and notify us of the scheduled date.
What is your defect rate and how do you handle defects?
Our target defect rate is below 0.5%. If defective items are found post-delivery, we will replace them in your next order or issue a credit note. Our after-sales team responds within 24 hours.
Do you provide product test reports?
Yes. We can provide SGS test reports covering REACH, RoHS, Nickel Release, and heavy metals upon request. Reports can be customized for specific destination market requirements (EU, US, etc.).
Pricing
Quotations, payment terms & cost factors
How do I get a price quote?
Send your design files, required quantity, material preference, and surface treatment to billh@yleryler.com or via WhatsApp (+86 15958476531). We provide a detailed quotation within 24 business hours.
What factors affect the unit price?
Key pricing factors include: steel grade (304 vs 316L), design complexity, surface treatment (PVD coating, polishing), stone setting, order quantity, packaging requirements, and delivery timeline. Higher quantities always reduce unit cost.
What are your payment terms?
Standard terms are 30% deposit before production and 70% balance before shipment. For long-term partners, we offer net payment terms. We accept T/T bank transfer, PayPal, and Western Union.
MOQ
Minimum order quantities & flexibility
What is your minimum order quantity?
Standard stock designs: MOQ 100 pieces per style. Custom OEM designs: MOQ 200 pieces per style. Mixed-style orders: each style must meet its individual MOQ, but styles can be combined in one shipment.
Can I place a trial order below MOQ?
We understand that new clients may want to test quality before committing. We offer trial orders at slightly higher unit prices for quantities below standard MOQ. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Is there a minimum total order value?
There is no fixed minimum order value. However, very small orders may incur higher per-unit costs and setup fees. We recommend combining multiple styles to optimize your cost per piece.
Packaging
Custom packaging, private label & materials
What packaging options do you offer?
We offer a full range of packaging: individual poly bags, velvet pouches, kraft paper boxes, rigid gift boxes, custom printed boxes, hang tags, sticker labels, and master export cartons. All can be customized with your branding.
Can you create fully custom branded packaging?
Yes. We design and produce custom packaging with your logo, brand colors, product descriptions, and barcode/SKU labels. Packaging dielines and mockups are provided for approval before production.
Do you offer eco-friendly packaging?
Yes. We offer packaging made from recycled paper, FSC-certified cardboard, and biodegradable materials. Eco-friendly packaging is available for all product lines and is increasingly popular with European and US buyers.
Shipping
Freight options, incoterms & transit times
What shipping methods do you offer?
We ship via: Express courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) for samples and small orders; Air freight for medium-sized urgent shipments; Sea freight (LCL/FCL) for large bulk orders. We work with trusted freight forwarders for competitive rates.
What incoterms do you support?
We support EXW (Ex Works), FOB (Yiwu/Shanghai/Ningbo), CIF, and DAP. FOB is our most common term for B2B clients. We can also arrange door-to-door DDP shipping upon request.

Yes. We prepare all standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and SGS test reports. We can assist with any additional documentation required for your destination country.
After-sales
Guarantees, returns & ongoing support
What is your after-sales guarantee?
We offer a 30-day quality guarantee from the date of delivery. If quality issues are found within this period, we will replace defective items in your next order or issue a credit. Photos and a brief description of the issue are required.
How do you handle complaints or disputes?
Our dedicated after-sales team responds within 24 business hours. We review all claims fairly and work to resolve issues promptly. Our goal is long-term partnership, so customer satisfaction is our priority.
Do you support reorders and replenishment?
Yes. We maintain production records for all past orders, making reorders straightforward. Repeat orders typically have shorter lead times as designs and specifications are already on file. Volume discounts apply to repeat business.
Certificates
SGS, REACH, RoHS & compliance
What certifications do you hold?
We are SGS certified. We can provide product-level test reports for REACH (EU), RoHS (EU), Nickel Release (EN 1811), California Prop 65 (US), and heavy metals testing. Reports are issued by accredited third-party laboratories.

Do you support BSCI or factory audit requirements?
We support BSCI, Sedex, and other social compliance audits. Our factory maintains fair labor practices, safe working conditions, and environmental management standards. We can provide our latest audit reports upon request.

Private label, ODM & brand development support

We offer a complete brand-building service: product design consultation, exclusive design development, private label packaging, catalog photography coordination, and ongoing product line expansion. We act as your manufacturing partner, not just a supplier.
Can you develop exclusive designs for my brand?
Yes. Under our ODM service, we develop exclusive designs that are not sold to other clients. An exclusivity agreement can be signed for designs with sufficient order volume. Your IP is protected throughout the process.
Do you offer catalog or product photography support?
We provide standard product photos for all items. For professional lifestyle photography and catalog production, we can recommend trusted studios in Yiwu or coordinate shoots on your behalf.
Can you help me launch a new jewelry line from scratch?
