Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond Valentine Program: AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Repor - HOLYCOME
Cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
Last November, a US buyer of cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond placed 300 cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond against a sample signed in April. The first container landed with 9 pieces that failed on certificate mismatch alone, and USD 50-265 landed on the buyer's P&L before a single unit sold, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 134-1097 in heart gift box.
On a 300-piece order at USD 134-1097, a certificate mismatch rate above two percent is not a quality surprise. It is a costing error that shows up as a credit note three weeks later.
Nothing in the rebuild was expensive. A gauge, a written limit and a retained tray did the work that a discount would only have delayed, the figure being USD 134-1097 for a 300-piece run.
What US buyers Check Before They Sign
At USD 134-1097 per piece the four measurements below are worth more than the discount being negotiated. One of them costs nothing to write down.
| Spec point | Common trade output | HOLYCOME standard | Cost if missed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hallmark depth and placement | Stamped where it fits | Fixed position, depth measured so it never breaks the shank | Customs query and remaking |
| Solder flow at the joint | Not inspected | Joint inspected under 10x before setting | Crack at the seam in transit |
| Plating thickness | Nominal only | 0.20 micron rhodium logged per lot, 3 microns on vermeil | Wear-through inside one season |
| Surface porosity after polish | Seen after plating | Cast porosity checked before plating, rejects pulled at that stage | Plating blister six weeks later |
Write these into the Valentine Program purchase order and the arrival check becomes arithmetic instead of recollection, certified IGI report and packed heart gift box at 300 pieces.
Where USD 134-1097 Per Piece Actually Goes
Cost at USD 134-1097 leaves no room for assumption. The table shows which line compresses and which line only moves quality down.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond | 30% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond | 20% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond | 19% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond | 12% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond | 19% | heart gift box |
A factory that cannot state its bench minutes per piece has never costed its own line. Ask for minutes and for the reject rule, not for a discount, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 134-1097.
Order Terms, Sample Timing and Packing
The commercial frame is short enough to state in full. Minimum order is 50 pieces per design, and mixed designs travel in one shipment, so a 300-piece Valentine Program order can carry three or four models without a separate setup charge. Sample pieces leave in 3-5 days when the components are in stock, and a new model adds about twenty days before the first article exists, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 134-1097.
Payment is 30 percent with the order and 70 percent against the bill of lading, with the balance window stated on the invoice rather than agreed by message. Prices quoted at USD 134-1097 are FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen; DDP is quoted separately because the duty line moves with the tariff schedule and not with our cost.
Packing follows the heart gift box format at 300 pieces to the carton, and the packing list carries SKU, size and stone size so receiving can count without opening every box. Private-label cartons add three days for the print run and must be approved before the first bulk order, not after it, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 134-1097.
Certification is IGI report for the lots that carry it, with a batch report and per-piece measurement of report plot match for the lots below the threshold. The document set travels with the shipping papers, which is what a customs broker asks for at the port rather than after clearance, quoted at USD 134-1097 per piece in heart gift box.
A rejected tray is settled inside the same order cycle against the retained reference piece. If the difference sits on our retained sample we replace or credit; if it appeared in transit we split the assay cost and file with the carrier, and that rule is written on the order before the deposit clears, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 134-1097 in heart gift box.
The Three Failures We See Most in Incoming Samples
certificate mismatch
A stone whose report says VS1 but whose plot shows a cloud near the table reads as a grade dispute at the counter. Match the plot, not only the grade line, quoted at USD 134-1097 per piece in heart gift box.
In a 300-piece run this typically shows on 14 of pieces. Catching it means measuring report plot match at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, and at USD 134-1097 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
growth-method disclosure
CVD and HPHT stones behave differently under high heat during setting. Disclosing the method protects both sides in a repair claim, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 134-1097.
The commercial effect is stone replacement at a four-figure cost, plus a disclosure review. Buyers who have seen it once put it in the purchase order; buyers who have not usually discover it on the first return, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 134-1097.
table percentage variance
A 62% table in a bright cut reads dark in a store window. Buying by table percentage, not only by carat, keeps the display consistent, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 134-1097.
Our countermeasure is a gauge and a written limit. It adds about 26 seconds per piece and removes the defect from the run rather than from the carton, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
This is the question that separates a trading company from a factory, and on cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond the answer is usually shorter than buyers expect, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 134-1097.
At 300 pieces the arithmetic on cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond changes: the fixed costs spread, the variable costs do not. That is why the second order prices better than the first even when the gold fix has moved up, the figure being USD 134-1097 for a 300-piece run.
We quote both a first-run price and a reorder price for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond on the same sheet so the buyer can see where the curve flattens. Most flatten by the third run, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
Carton Cube, Duty and the Freight Line That Surprises Buyers
Buyers ask it in the first call about cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond and rarely get a number they can put in a spreadsheet, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
One practical note on timing for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond: the calendar starts when the spec is signed, not when the deposit clears. A buyer who signs in week one and pays in week three gets the goods in week five, which is how the Valentine Program account reads it at USD 134-1097.
We date the cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond proforma from signature for that reason, and we state the deposit deadline in the same email that carries the spec sheet, priced at USD 134-1097 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
Valentine Window for cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond
The Valentine window is short and unforgiving: stock has to be in the warehouse by the last week of January or the season is gone. That puts the production order in the second week of December, ahead of the Lunar New Year slowdown, the figure being USD 134-1097 for a 300-piece run.
Paired designs move better than single pieces here. A matching pair of cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond, boxed together with two cards, converts at the same retail price as two singles and costs about nine percent more to make, and at USD 134-1097 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Photography has to be red-and-white neutral. A cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond shot on a red silk background reads as a gift in a listing thumbnail, and that is the only image most buyers will ever see, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 134-1097 in heart gift box.
How a Repeat Order Gets Built
Nothing in this sequence is unusual, and that is the point. Each step exists because skipping it produced a specific failure on a previous order, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet, quoted at USD 134-1097 per piece in heart gift box.
- Lock the spec: metal, stone size range, plating thickness, sizing band and finish, all written on one sheet.
- Pull a stock-component sample in 3-5 days and measure it against that sheet, not against the photo.
- Approve the sample in writing, including the reject rule and the retained reference tray.
- Run bulk in 15-20 days for orders under 500 pieces, with the gauge check independent of the shift.
- Ship from Guangzhou or Shenzhen with the QC sheet in the carton and the batch report by email.
Reorders inside this sequence run 12-15 days because the model, the gauge set and the signed spec stay in our system, priced at USD 134-1097 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
What This Means for a First Order
A first Valentine Program order of 50 pieces per design at USD 134-1097 tests the line rather than the range. Three designs covers the shelf.
Ask for the retained tray and the IGI report batch sheet with the first shipment. Both are free and both decide the reorder, and at USD 134-1097 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Freight, Duty and the Arrival Check
Export runs through Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Air lands in 5-8 days on the US west coast, 7-10 on the east, and sea takes roughly three times the transit, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 134-1097.
FOB is the default on cushion Cut Lab Grown Diamond and DDP is the option. Buyers new to US wholesale usually take DDP once, then switch after they see the breakdown, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 134-1097.
If certificate mismatch appears in the arrival check, the retained tray decides who owns it. Keep the IGI report batch sheet in the same folder as the packing list, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.
