Heart Cut Moissanite
Heart Cut Moissanite Distributor Tier: What the Quote Actually Covers - HOLYCOME
Heart Cut Moissanite: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
What the Quote Actually Covers in the Distributor Tier Program
A US buyer of heart Cut Moissanite came to us after 800 heart Cut Moissanite from a trading company produced 11 rejects in the first inspection. The defect was not cosmetic: double refraction read had drifted far enough that the buyer's own bench could not correct it without recutting, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
That rejection was avoidable at the drawing stage. Double refraction read belongs on the spec sheet next to the stone size, not in the claim email three weeks after arrival, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
We kept the Distributor Tier price and changed the four measurements that matter. The rebuild cost about 17 seconds per piece and removed the whole claim conversation, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 26-180.
Cost Split on a Distributor Tier Piece at USD 26-180
At USD 26-180 per piece for heart Cut Moissanite, the stone sits near a quarter and the labor line moves by double digits between two quotes for one drawing.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for heart Cut Moissanite | 32% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for heart Cut Moissanite | 23% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for heart Cut Moissanite | 21% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for heart Cut Moissanite | 14% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for heart Cut Moissanite | 10% | bulk carton, 50 per bag |
The saving in the cheapest quote hides in plating and stone grade. At 800 pieces that saving is visible in season two, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
Four Spec Lines a Distributor Tier Buyer Checks
The Distributor Tier buyer signs on four numbers. The table puts the trade default beside our standard so the difference is visible before the deposit, priced at USD 26-180 for the 800-piece Distributor Tier run.
| Spec point | Common trade output | HOLYCOME standard | Cost if missed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clasp spring life | Sampled by hand | Cycled 500 times on a jig per lot | Detach claim and brand damage |
| Prong tension and seat depth | Checked by feel at the bench | Pull-tested per piece, seat depth written on the sheet | Stone loss and total replacement |
| 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 |
None of the four adds cost at USD 26-180. They add about 17 seconds per piece and remove the reason to inspect twice.
Distributor Pricing Tiers on heart Cut Moissanite
A distributor does not buy a heart Cut Moissanite, they buy a position. Tier pricing is quoted against annual volume with a floor per SKU, and the tier is reviewed on shipped units rather than on forecast, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
What the tier buys is protection: a defined territory, a no-direct-sell clause inside that territory, and a first look at new models for one season. Without those three lines the discount is just a lower price and the distributor will not hold stock for you, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
Turn is the number the distributor manages. At USD 26-180 per piece and a 45-day turn, the margin per shelf foot is thin. That is why bulk orders of heart Cut Moissanite move in 800-piece lots rather than in the 50-piece sample quantity.
Three Failures That Reach the Distributor Tier Bench
double refraction read
Moissanite shows doubled facet reflections under a loupe. Buyers who compare it to diamond without disclosing this face a return, not a defect, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report.
The commercial effect is stone swap and a disclosure issue, typically USD 12-20 per piece. Buyers who have seen it once put it in the purchase order; buyers who have not usually discover it on the first return, and at USD 26-180 for 800 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
color batch drift
Two lots graded near-colorless can sit two shades apart under daylight. Batch the stone buy per order rather than across quarters, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
Our countermeasure is a gauge and a written limit. It adds about 17 seconds per piece and removes the defect from the run rather than from the carton, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report.
girdle chipping
Stones set with a tight prong and no seat cut chip at the girdle during setting. The chip appears after shipping, not on the bench, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet.
In a 800-piece run this typically shows on 17 of pieces. Catching it means measuring color consistency within one lot at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report.
Terms Behind a Distributor Tier Order
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 800-piece Distributor Tier 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 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
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 26-180 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 bulk carton, 50 per bag format at 800 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, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet.
Certification is SGS batch report for the lots that carry it, with a batch report and per-piece measurement of color consistency within one lot 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, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
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, priced at USD 26-180 for the 800-piece Distributor Tier run.
Sample to Container: The Real Calendar
Buyers ask it in the first call about heart Cut Moissanite and rarely get a number they can put in a spreadsheet, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
One practical note on timing for heart Cut Moissanite: 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, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet.
We date the heart Cut Moissanite proforma from signature for that reason, and we state the deposit deadline in the same email that carries the spec sheet, priced at USD 26-180 for the 800-piece Distributor Tier run.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
The answer for heart Cut Moissanite depends on four variables, and three of them are under the buyer's control, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report.
In US wholesale terms, this is the difference between a landed cost the buyer can plan against and a number that moves after the container ships. For heart Cut Moissanite, we publish the figure per SKU and hold it for the order window rather than for the calendar year, which the Distributor Tier file records at USD 26-180 in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
Practically, it shows up in three places for heart Cut Moissanite: the proforma, the QC sheet and the credit note if something goes wrong. All three should quote the same number. When they do not, the argument is about paperwork, not about the product, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 26-180.
The Calendar Behind a Distributor Tier Run
Nothing in this sequence is clever. Each step exists because skipping it cost somebody a claim on heart Cut Moissanite at USD 26-180.
- 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.
MOQ is 50 pieces per design, low enough to test a category and high enough to keep the casting line accountable, and at USD 26-180 for 800 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Getting bulk carton, 50 per bag to US wholesale
Sea freight costs roughly a third of air and takes three times the transit, which only makes sense for an SKU already selling in US wholesale, which is USD 26-180 on the Distributor Tier schedule.
FOB is the default and DDP is the option. Buyers new to US wholesale usually take DDP once and then switch after they see the breakdown, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
At receiving, count cartons, weigh one tray and measure ten pieces against color consistency within one lot. Twenty minutes here saves a season of returns, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
The First Distributor Tier Order
Start with three designs at 50 pieces each. That covers the 800 pieces you need to read sell-through without betting on one model, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 26-180.
Sample 3-5 days, bulk 15-20 days under 500 pieces, 800 pieces inside that window. The calendar is the same on every Distributor Tier run, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
Frequently Asked Questions
What finish do you use, and how thick is it?
Rhodium at 0.20 micron minimum on white heart Cut Moissanite, with a palladium strike layer so wear-through reads white rather than yellow. Vermeil runs at 3 microns over sterling and is logged per lot, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
How is heart Cut Moissanite packed for bulk carton, 50 per bag?
Every unit goes into a foam-backed pouch, then the bulk carton, 50 per bag, then the outer carton at 800 pieces. The packing list carries the SKU, the size and the stone size so receiving can check without opening every box, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
Can you ship DDP?
DDP is available for US accounts and removes the duty invoice that arrives after the carton clears. FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen is the default, and most buyers take DDP once and then switch after they see the breakdown, which is how the Distributor Tier account reads it at USD 26-180.

With the model, the gauge set and the signed spec already in our system, a repeat is 12-15 days; a first run is 3-5 days for a stock-component sample and about 20 days when a new model is needed, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet.
