How to customize jewelry
Dec 1, 2022
Jewelry making is an ancient industry When it came to 2000, the global jewelry factories gathered in the Pearl River Delta region Zhejiang Yiwu is the manufacturing center of global color jewelry, while Yiwu is the manufacturing center of diamond jewelry.
For example, if you want to own a famous person's sapphire ring of the same style, you can buy the bare stone on Taobao or other websites, express the bare stone to the inlay manufacturer, and then go to grass growing apps such as Redbook to find the style you like, and then send the picture to the customized inlay dealer According to your own requirements and the actual situation of the gemstone, communicate with the customization about the style and design
Let the custom inlayer quote After both parties reached an agreement, the inlayer built a model in the computer according to the ring pattern and the shape of the bare stone Then start a series of operations: plate lifting - die pressing - reverse die - die holding - stone setting - polishing - electrowinning - quality inspection Each step is completed by professionals Thanks to the highly centralized industrial chain, the cost of this programmed customization mode is very low
The above method is called "customization by drawing" The price paid by consumers is only 20-35% of the same jewelry of big brands.
Advantages of customized and purchased products (high-quality bare stone+better style)
Because of the natural properties of gems, the majority of gems are not perfect in quality, so jewelers will keep high-quality bare stones for sale at a higher price Many ordinary quality gemstones will be inlaid with finished products, so that the defects can be covered by design and easier to sell Therefore, it can be seen that many finished jewelry products are not as expensive as high-quality bare stones, which is the reason, except for expensive products of international jewelry brands
In addition, customization can make the style you like, which is more meaningful

Customized routine
The customization cost of Jinggong silver goods is about 200 The customization cost of gold products starts from 300 yuan to more than 1000 yuan It depends on the complexity of the style and process requirements Gold goods are much more exquisite than silver goods
Some custom inlays will make an effort to reduce the labor cost of gold products to 150-200 yuan (lower than the cost of mainstream quality), which can attract customers who like to compare prices Then make money in other aspects. For example, customers will be strongly urged to insert more broken diamonds. It is normal that the carat price of broken diamonds is 500-1000 yuan higher than the market report What is more outrageous is that the goods are made according to the standard of silver goods (the finished products are very rough, and the details are not handled well) Even the low-quality broken diamond (single reverse drill) is used to replace the mainstream quality, so as to make huge profits Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the inlayers who have extremely low labor costs. They either use low technology or use their brains in breaking diamonds. After all, wool comes from sheep
In addition, some unscrupulous inlaid custom makers will make huge profits by using small diamonds as large ones. For example, when using 1.8mm broken diamonds, customers will be informed of the specification of 2.0mm broken diamonds. Customers cannot find such a routine Unless the broken drill is removed to measure the diameter afterwards 1.8mm broken drill 0.025ct/particle; 2.0mm broken drill 0.035ct/pellet It is equivalent to stealing 28.5% of the weight of the broken diamond from the customer after using a slightly smaller broken diamond
Customized labor cost can also be divided into two parts: customized production cost of care and stone inlaying labor cost (main stone inlaying cost+stone inlaying cost)
However, in general, if simple styles are made, the custom makers will not list the inlaying fees of main stones and broken diamonds in detail Generally, only one total customization fee will be quoted

Additional metal consumption in customized jewelry production (14%)
In the past of jewelry production, the ring bracket would be cut, drilled and polished, which would lead to metal consumption Therefore, the industry will charge 14% of metal consumption for customized processing
For example, if the actual weight of a ring is 2g after completion, a fee of 2.28g will be charged

White gravel selection for customized jewelry (foot drill/single drill/mozanite/white sapphire/white topa)
The price of the high white foot reverse drill commonly used for inlaying gold ornaments is 3500-4500 yuan/carat
In addition, there is also a cheap single reverse drill: the single reverse drill does not look very shiny and white due to its few reflective surfaces, so the price is low, about 1200-1500 yuan/carat When customizing, confirm with the inlayer which kind of quality broken diamond is used
The cost can also be reduced by using mullite stone. The carat price of mullite gravel is 300 yuan
White Topaz, tens of yuan per carat
Colorful small matching stones: royal sapphire, pink sapphire, yellow sapphire; Green Shafule; Pigeon blood red and precious; Emerald; Powder spinel

Customized metal options for gold inlay (18K gold/platinum)
Pure gold and pure platinum are generally not used for the metal of Seiko custom inlaid jewelry The use of mixed precious metals is not to reduce costs, but to enhance the hardness of metals, so that jewelry can not be deformed It can be inlaid with gems, which are not easy to fall off
The mainstream jewelry metals are 18K gold (75% gold, also called Au750) and Pt950 (95% platinum)
If it is a ring, the necklace involves gemstone inlay The two metals are different. 18K gold is harder than Pt950. The ring bracket made of 18K gold can hold more complex inlaid styles Therefore, most products of mainstream jewelry manufacturers choose 18K gold The same is true of jewelry manufacturers in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which mainly use 18K gold Only a few simple inlaid styles or jewelry without gemstone inlay will use Pt950
18K gold and rose gold, without rhodium plating on the surface, are natural colors There is no problem that the surface will turn yellow if it is worn off after being used for a long time The disadvantage of 18K white gold is that the white precious metal rhodium plated on the surface will be worn off after wearing for a long time, and it looks slightly yellowish It needs to be taken back to the jewelry store for re maintenance and rhodium plating, but the cost is not high
The color of Pt950 is monotonous. There is only one kind of white, but it looks not so white. It looks gray and dull Because it is softer than 18K gold, it is easy to be knocked out after wearing it for a long time It also needs to be reshaped
To sum up: Customized complex inlaid gemstone rings, pendants, eardrops 18 K gold with higher hardness must be used; Customized jewelry with simple inlay or without gems, 18K gold or Pt950 can be used
In addition, precious metals rarely used in jewelry include 14K gold and Pt900
