Whether youre launching your first charm necklace line or scaling a seasonal release, our process ensures you get to market faster, with higher margins and flawless execution.

Design Discovery: Crafting the Vision

Every project begins with a focused design consultationa structured intake process where we align your creative direction with technical feasibility. We explore:

• Theme Integration: Birth month flowers and gemstones tailored to the client’s seasonal concept, market trend, or brand identity.
• Material Constraints: Choosing the ideal stainless steel grade (304 vs. 316L) based on budget, hypoallergenic needs, and color-plating compatibility.
• SKU Mapping: Whether 12-month variations or custom gemstone shapes are needed, we map out SKUs and batch planning upfront.

Using 3D mockups and high-resolution renders, our in-house design team visualizes each piece within 48 hours of the first consultation. This phase drastically reduces back-and-forth by finalizing product direction before prototyping, minimizing miscommunication across departments.

Material Selection & Sample Engineering

Once the blueprint is approved, we dive into sourcing and sample development. Here’s where our process shines:

• Steel Procurement: We partner with certified mills for anti-tarnish, lead-free stainless steel that meets EU and US safety standards.
• Birthstone Sourcing: Lab-grown or glass crystal birthstones are selected based on clarity, hue consistency, and durabilitymatched to Pantone swatches for accuracy.
• Custom Mold Engineering: Laser-engraved mold development typically completes in 5 business days, followed by the creation of test castings for structure and size validation.

During this phase, we offer two complimentary iterations on design or platingensuring the product not only looks exceptional but is also engineered for cost-efficient replication. Our digital sample approval workflow enables clients to greenlight prototypes from anywhere, slashing approval time from weeks to days.

Precision in Production: Where Custom Meets Scale

Once samples are approved, mass production commences across specialized departments, each optimized for batch coordination and material usage efficiency. Our production model includes:

1. Batch Scheduling: Grouping SKUs by metal type and plating color to reduce downtime and lower electroplating costs.
2. Engraving & Assembly: High-speed CNC engraving ensures intricate flower outlines maintain line clarity even at small charm sizes (8-12mm diameter).
3. Birthstone Mounting: Custom bezels are pre-cast and hand-assembled, with dual-check anchoring to prevent gem dislodgement in shipping or wear.

Typical production timelines average 12-15 business days for orders under 10,000 units. For high-volume runs, our multi-line strategy enables staggered batch outputs without compromising qualitya must for clients with multi-country retail launches.

Case Study: Chain Brand Optimization for Speed & Cost

Lets zoom into a real-world fulfillment case. A mid-tier North American fashion chain placed an OEM order for 18,000 customized birth month flower charm necklaces, targeting a seasonal Mother’s Day rollout.

Challenges:

• Hard deadline: 5-week turnaround including transit
• Retail-ready packaging required, labeled by SKU
• Air freight costs were threatening profitability

Our Solutions:

• Parallel Production: Molds for all 12 SKUs developed simultaneously using dual CNC lines
• Pre-Approved Digital Samples: Reduced sample loop to 3 days instead of the usual 7-10
• Bulk Packaging Strategy: Used flat-pack inserts and labeled eco sleeves by SKU to streamline QC and eliminate the need for in-country sorting
• Freight Consolidation: Shipped via hybrid air-sea mode through west coast hubcutting cost by 15% while only adding 2 days to delivery

Result: Order was completed, packed, and delivered in 23 calendar days2 days ahead of schedule. The client reported a 17% higher margin due to reduced logistics and processing costs. Better yet, the streamlined SKU labeling enabled their distribution center to move the product straight to shelf without repackaging.

Quality Control, Packing & Global Delivery Network

Quality isnt a checkpointits embedded in every stage. Once production wraps, every order goes through a 5-tier QC system:

• Surface & Plating Test: Microscopic inspection for pitting, discoloration, or residue
• Charm Link Strength: Pull-test each sample by SKU batch to meet 3kg tension minimum
• Birthstone Adhesion: Drop and torque test per ASTM F963 protocol
• Allergen-Free Certification: Compliance with CA Prop 65 and REACH standards

Our smart logistics system selects the best shipping method based on your priority: air freight for speed, sea or rail for cost, or a hybrid model that optimizes both. Our fulfillment network spans Asia, Europe, and North America, with bonded warehouse options available for high-volume brands.

We also offer optional B2B packaging bundles,”including”:

• Custom barcode printing
• Retail display-ready boxes
• Seasonal insert cards with messaging per birth month

Its how we ensure what leaves our facility arrives at yours ready to wownot rework.
