Loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape Distributor Tier: What the Quote - HOLYCOME
Loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
What the Quote Actually Covers
Last June, a US buyer of loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape placed 800 loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape against a sample signed in October. The first container landed with 9 pieces that failed on sieve drift alone, and USD 5-25 landed on the buyer's P&L before a single unit sold, the figure being USD 2-90 for a 800-piece run.
On a 800-piece order at USD 2-90, a sieve drift 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, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 2-90.
Where USD 2-90 Per Piece Actually Goes
Cost at USD 2-90 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 loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 30% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 20% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 19% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 12% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 19% | bulk carton, 50 per bag |
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, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet, priced at USD 2-90 for the 800-piece Distributor Tier run.
What US buyers Check Before They Sign
At USD 2-90 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Write these into the Distributor Tier purchase order and the arrival check becomes arithmetic instead of recollection, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 2-90.
Distributor Pricing Tiers on loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape
A distributor does not buy a loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape, 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, which is USD 2-90 on the Distributor Tier schedule.
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, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 2-90.
Turn is the number the distributor manages. At USD 2-90 per piece and a 45-day turn, the margin per shelf foot is thin. That is why bulk orders of loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape move in 800-piece lots rather than in the 50-piece sample quantity.
The Three Failures We See Most in Incoming Samples
sieve drift
A parcel sold as 2.0-2.2 mm with 15% of stones at 1.9 mm changes the setting labor on the buyer's bench. Sieve the parcel, do not sample it, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 2-90.
In a 800-piece run this typically shows on 8 of pieces. Catching it means measuring size distribution within the declared sieve at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report.
mixed color lots
Mixing near-colorless and G-H stones in one parcel produces a finished piece with a visible tonal step. Parcels ship by single lot, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 2-90.
The commercial effect is replacement stones plus a sorting delay on the buyer's line. Buyers who have seen it once put it in the purchase order; buyers who have not usually discover it on the first return, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 2-90.
girdle damage
Stones packed loose in a bag chip each other in transit. Individually wrapped parcels cost more and arrive usable, which is USD 2-90 on the Distributor Tier schedule.
Our countermeasure is a gauge and a written limit. It adds about 6 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.
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 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, the figure being USD 2-90 for a 800-piece run.
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 2-90 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, which the Distributor Tier file records at USD 2-90 in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
Certification is SGS batch report for the lots that carry it, with a batch report and per-piece measurement of size distribution within the declared sieve 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, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 2-90.
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, quoted at USD 2-90 per piece in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
Sample to Container: The Real Calendar
This is the question that separates a trading company from a factory, and on loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape the answer is usually shorter than buyers expect, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 2-90.
One practical note on timing for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape: 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, quoted at USD 2-90 per piece in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
We date the loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape proforma from signature for that reason, and we state the deposit deadline in the same email that carries the spec sheet, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
Buyers ask it in the first call about loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape and rarely get a number they can put in a spreadsheet, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
In North American retail terms, this is the difference between a landed cost the buyer can plan against and a number that moves after the container ships. For loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape, 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 2-90 in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
Practically, it shows up in three places for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape: 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, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 2-90.
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, priced at USD 2-90 for the 800-piece Distributor Tier run.
- 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, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 2-90.
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 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 2-90.
FOB is the default on loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape and DDP is the option. Buyers new to North American retail usually take DDP once, then switch after they see the breakdown, which is how the Distributor Tier account reads it at USD 2-90.
If sieve drift appears in the arrival check, the retained tray decides who owns it. Keep the SGS batch report batch sheet in the same folder as the packing list, which is how the Distributor Tier account reads it at USD 2-90.
What This Means for a First Order
A first Distributor Tier order of 50 pieces per design at USD 2-90 tests the line rather than the range. Three designs covers the shelf.
Ask for the retained tray and the SGS batch report batch sheet with the first shipment. Both are free and both decide the reorder, which is USD 2-90 on the Distributor Tier schedule.
