Loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape Valentine Program: AQL, Tray Chec - HOLYCOME
Loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
Why the Valentine Program Quote Looks Cheap Until It Lands
In September, a US buyer of loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape ordered 300 loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape and asked for the same calibrated sizes from 1.5 mm to 12 mm as a competitor's sample. What arrived matched the photo and missed the drawing, and 13 pieces had to be reworked at the buyer's expense, which is USD 3-106 on the Valentine Program schedule.
Nothing in that rejection was exotic. At USD 3-106 per piece and 300 pieces on the order, a sieve drift rate of two percent is a costing error rather than a quality mystery.
Cost of the fix was about 6 seconds per piece. On 300 pieces that is a few hours at the bench and the whole claim file disappears, the figure being USD 3-106 for a 300-piece run.
The Measurements Behind a USD 3-106 Quote
Four numbers separate a 300-piece run that clears inspection from one that generates a credit note. None of them appears on the sample photo, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 3-106 in heart gift box.
| 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 |
None of these are premium features. They cost seconds per piece and they remove the reason a buyer has to inspect twice, the figure being USD 3-106 for a 300-piece run.
What a USD 3-106 Quote Hides
The cost of a loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape in the USD 3-106 band splits roughly as below. The line buyers challenge most is labor, and it is the line that decides whether the piece survives a season.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 34% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 25% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 22% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 15% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape | 4% | heart gift box |
If a supplier will not break out the five lines above, the number you are comparing is not a price. It is a total that somebody else assembled from assumptions, and at USD 3-106 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
MOQ, Samples and the Balance
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, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.
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 3-106 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, and at USD 3-106 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Certification is IGI 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 at USD 3-106 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
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, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 3-106.
What Fails First on loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape
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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 3-106.
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, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
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, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.
In a 300-piece run this typically shows on 17 of pieces. Catching it means measuring size distribution within the declared sieve at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
girdle damage
Stones packed loose in a bag chip each other in transit. Individually wrapped parcels cost more and arrive usable, the figure being USD 3-106 for a 300-piece run.
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, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
Buyers in US e-commerce tend to over-index on unit price for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape and under-index on what happens after delivery, which is USD 3-106 on the Valentine Program schedule.
At 300 pieces the arithmetic on loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape 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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 3-106.
We quote both a first-run price and a reorder price for loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape 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
This is where loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape stops being a commodity and starts being a supply relationship, which is USD 3-106 on the Valentine Program schedule.
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.

Paired designs move better than single pieces here. A matching pair of loose Lab Grown Diamond Stones, Calibrated by Shape, boxed together with two cards, converts at the same retail price as two singles and costs about nine percent more to make, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.

- 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.
