Loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale Valentine Program: AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC - HOLYCOME
Loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
Last May, a US buyer of loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale placed 300 loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale against a sample signed in September. The first container landed with 9 pieces that failed on sieve drift alone, and USD 5-30 landed on the buyer's P&L before a single unit sold, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 3-106.
On a 300-piece order at USD 3-106, 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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 3-106.
What US buyers Check Before They Sign
At USD 3-106 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, which is USD 3-106 on the Valentine Program schedule.
Where USD 3-106 Per Piece Actually Goes
Cost at USD 3-106 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 Diamonds Wholesale | 30% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale | 20% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale | 19% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale | 12% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale | 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, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 3-106.
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, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
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 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 3-106.
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 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 3-106.
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, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
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, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 3-106 in heart gift box.
In a 300-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, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 3-106.
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, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
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, 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, priced at USD 3-106 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 3-106.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
Ask three suppliers of loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale this question and you will get three answers. Only one of them survives an inspection, which is how the Valentine Program account reads it at USD 3-106.
At 300 pieces the arithmetic on loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale 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, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
We quote both a first-run price and a reorder price for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale on the same sheet so the buyer can see where the curve flattens. Most flatten by the third run, priced at USD 3-106 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
Carton Cube, Duty and the Freight Line That Surprises Buyers
On loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale, the difference between a 40-day order and a 90-day order is usually two signatures, not a factory delay, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
One practical note on timing for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale: 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, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 3-106.
We date the loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale proforma from signature for that reason, and we state the deposit deadline in the same email that carries the spec sheet, certified IGI report and packed heart gift box at 300 pieces.
Valentine Window for loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale
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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 3-106.
Paired designs move better than single pieces here. A matching pair of loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale, 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 3-106 for 300 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Photography has to be red-and-white neutral. A loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale 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, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
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, which is how the Valentine Program account reads it at USD 3-106.
- 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, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 3-106 in heart gift box.
What This Means for a First Order
A first Valentine Program order of 50 pieces per design at USD 3-106 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, priced at USD 3-106 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
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, quoted at USD 3-106 per piece in heart gift box.
FOB is the default on loose Lab Grown Diamonds Wholesale and DDP is the option. Buyers new to US wholesale usually take DDP once, then switch after they see the breakdown, certified IGI report and packed heart gift box at 300 pieces, the figure being USD 3-106 for a 300-piece run.
If sieve drift 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, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
