Marquise Cut Moissanite Valentine Program: AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Shou - HOLYCOME
Marquise Cut Moissanite: 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 marquise Cut Moissanite placed 300 marquise Cut Moissanite against a sample signed in April. The first container landed with 9 pieces that failed on double refraction read alone, and USD 20-70 landed on the buyer's P&L before a single unit sold, priced at USD 31-212 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
Nobody on that bench was careless. They were working to a spec that existed only in a photograph, and double refraction read is what a photograph fails to define, quoted at USD 31-212 per piece in heart gift box.
The fix cost about 17 seconds per marquise Cut Moissanite and removed the credit note entirely. That is the whole economics of a spec sheet, and it is why we write one on every quote, certified IGI report and packed heart gift box at 300 pieces, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 31-212.
What US buyers Check Before They Sign
Four lines decide whether marquise Cut Moissanite at USD 31-212 sells through or comes back, and none of them appears on a typical trading-company quote.
| 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 |
Put these four into the purchase order and the Valentine Program argument after delivery becomes arithmetic, which is how the Valentine Program account reads it at USD 31-212.
Where USD 31-212 Per Piece Actually Goes
Cost per piece at USD 31-212 leaves little room for assumption. The table shows which line compresses and which one only moves quality.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for marquise Cut Moissanite | 30% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for marquise Cut Moissanite | 20% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for marquise Cut Moissanite | 19% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for marquise Cut Moissanite | 12% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for marquise Cut Moissanite | 19% | heart gift box |
A factory with no bench minutes per piece has never costed marquise Cut Moissanite at USD 31-212. Ask for minutes and for the reject rule.
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, priced at USD 31-212 for the 300-piece Valentine Program 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 31-212 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, which is USD 31-212 on the Valentine Program schedule.
Certification is IGI 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, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
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 is how the Valentine Program account reads it at USD 31-212.
The Three Failures We See Most in Incoming Samples
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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 31-212.
In a 300-piece run this typically shows on 14 of pieces. Catching it means measuring color consistency within one lot at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, and at USD 31-212 for 300 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, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 31-212.
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, with IGI report and heart gift box stated on the same sheet.
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, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 31-212.
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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 31-212.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
This is the question that separates a trading company from a factory, and on marquise Cut Moissanite the answer is usually shorter than buyers expect, the figure being USD 31-212 for a 300-piece run.
At 300 pieces the arithmetic on marquise Cut Moissanite 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 31-212.
We quote both a first-run price and a reorder price for marquise Cut Moissanite on the same sheet so the buyer can see where the curve flattens. Most flatten by the third run, which is USD 31-212 on the Valentine Program schedule.
Carton Cube, Duty and the Freight Line That Surprises Buyers
Buyers ask it in the first call about marquise Cut Moissanite 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 marquise 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, on a 300-piece Valentine Program order at USD 31-212.
We date the marquise Cut Moissanite proforma from signature for that reason, and we state the deposit deadline in the same email that carries the spec sheet, shipped as heart gift box and certified IGI report.
Valentine Window for marquise Cut Moissanite
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, certified IGI report and packed heart gift box at 300 pieces.
Paired designs move better than single pieces here. A matching pair of marquise Cut Moissanite, boxed together with two cards, converts at the same retail price as two singles and costs about nine percent more to make, which is USD 31-212 on the Valentine Program schedule.
Photography has to be red-and-white neutral. A marquise Cut Moissanite 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
The sequence below is fixed for a Valentine Program run. The dates move with the stone lot, not with the shipping season, 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.
- 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 and the gauge set stay here after the Valentine Program shipment, priced at USD 31-212 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 31-212 is a test of the line, not a commitment to the range.
Ask for the retained tray and the batch report with the first shipment. Both are free and both decide the second order, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 31-212 in heart gift box.
Freight, Duty and the Arrival Check
Export runs through Guangzhou or Shenzhen. Air freight lands in 5-8 days on the US west coast and 7-10 on the east, priced at USD 31-212 for the 300-piece Valentine Program run.
For a first order, DDP matters more than the freight rate. The surprise is the duty line, not the per-kilo charge, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 31-212.
Check the count, the weight and color consistency within one lot and girdle integrity after setting before the carton goes to the shelf. Twenty minutes at receiving saves a season of returns, and 300 pieces leaves Wuzhou in heart gift box at USD 31-212.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the payment terms?
30 percent deposit with the order, 70 percent against the bill of lading. For accounts on a second order we quote 30/70 with a 15-day balance window once the first shipment has cleared, quoted at USD 31-212 per piece in heart gift box.
What is the minimum order for marquise Cut Moissanite?
50 pieces per marquise Cut Moissanite. Designs mix inside one shipment, so a first order of three designs at 50 pieces each is normal for a new US account. Below 50 the gauge check stops being independent of the shift, which the Valentine Program file records at USD 31-212 in heart gift box.
Do you supply certificates for marquise Cut Moissanite?
IGI report on marquise Cut Moissanite above the threshold stated on the quote. Below it we supply a batch report plus per-piece measurement of color consistency within one lot, which is what a counter or a listing actually needs, the figure being USD 31-212 for a 300-piece run.
How do you handle a rejected tray?
We replace or credit inside the same order cycle. The retained reference tray decides: if double refraction read shows on our retained piece we own it, and if it appeared in transit we split the assay cost and file with the carrier, and the Valentine Program quote for it sits at USD 31-212.
