Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with P&N Jewelry

◇

Ordering

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

+

Our MOQ is 30 pieces per design. We offer low MOQ to support boutique brands and new collections. MOQ is negotiable depending on the design complexity and materials.

Do you accept custom designs?

+

Yes, absolutely. Send us your sketch, photo reference, or CAD file and our design team will work with you to bring your vision to life. We support full custom OEM and private label production.

Can I get a sample before full production?

+

Yes. We strongly recommend approving a physical sample before full production begins. Sample lead time is 7–14 business days.

What payment terms do you accept?

+

Standard terms are 50% deposit to start production, and 50% balance before shipment. We accept bank wire transfer (T/T).

◇

Production

What is the production lead time?

+

Sample production takes 7–14 business days. Full production typically takes 30–45 business days depending on quantity, design complexity, and stone setting requirements.

What materials do you work with?

+

We work with Sterling Silver 925, Gold 9k–18k, Brass, and Copper. Plating options include 18k Gold, Rose Gold, Yellow Gold, Rhodium, and Black Rhodium.

What stone setting options are available?

+

We offer Prong, Bezel, Pavé, Channel, and Micro-setting. We work with Cubic Zirconia (CZ), Diamonds, and natural or synthetic Gemstones.

Do you offer CAD design services?

+

Yes. Our in-house design team creates precise 3D CAD models from your sketch or reference image. You review and approve the CAD before we produce a physical prototype.

What is your quality control process?

+

Every piece goes through multiple QC checkpoints — post-casting, post-polishing, post-setting, and final inspection before packaging. We provide QC photos upon request.

Materials & Stones

What is the difference between Natural Diamond and Lab Grown Diamond?

+

Natural diamonds are mined from the earth and carry geological history. Lab grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical — same hardness (10 Mohs), same brilliance — but grown in a controlled environment. Lab grown diamonds cost 60-80% less than natural diamonds of the same quality. Both are real diamonds. For OEM jewelry, lab grown diamonds are increasingly popular with USA, Canadian, and Australian brands seeking premium quality at accessible price points. We offer both options with GIA-certified stones available on request.

What is the difference between Gold Vermeil and Gold Plated?

+

Gold Vermeil is thick 18k gold plating (minimum 2.5 microns) applied over 925 sterling silver base. Gold Plated can be any gold thickness over any base metal (often brass or copper). Vermeil is the premium choice — it lasts significantly longer, meets international standards, and is required by law to be labeled 'vermeil' in many markets including the USA. For private label jewelry brands, we strongly recommend gold vermeil over standard gold plating for quality and longevity.

What is the MOQ for samples and prototypes?

+

For prototypes and sampling, MOQ is 1 piece per design. We produce a wax or silver prototype for your approval before committing to full production. Prototype cost is charged separately and is typically credited against your full production order. Full production MOQ starts at 30 pieces per design.

What are the lead times for samples and full production?

+

Prototype & Sampling: 7–14 business days from CAD approval. Full Production: 30–45 business days depending on quantity, design complexity, and stone setting requirements. Rush orders may be available — contact us to discuss your timeline. We provide production milestone updates with photos throughout the process.

+

Yes. We ship to the USA, Europe, Asia, and worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and EMS. All shipments include tracking and insurance.

Do you provide export documents?
