Moissanite Trillion Cut Distributor Tier: What the Quote Actually Covers - HOLYCOME
Moissanite Trillion Cut: 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 moissanite Trillion Cut came to us after 800 moissanite Trillion Cut 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.
At 800 pieces the buyer was not buying a defect, they were buying a document. The Distributor Tier order carried a photo and a price, and double refraction read had nowhere to live, the figure being USD 26-180 for a 800-piece run.
Our rebuild kept the buyer's retail price and changed four numbers on the bench. The next run cleared inspection because the specification traveled with the tray, not with a phone call, and at USD 26-180 for 800 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Cost Split on a Distributor Tier Piece at USD 26-180
At USD 26-180 per piece for moissanite Trillion Cut, the stone is roughly a quarter and labor is where two quotes for the same drawing diverge.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for moissanite Trillion Cut | 32% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for moissanite Trillion Cut | 23% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for moissanite Trillion Cut | 21% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for moissanite Trillion Cut | 14% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for moissanite Trillion Cut | 10% | bulk carton, 50 per bag |
The saving in the cheapest moissanite Trillion Cut quote hides in the plating line and the stone grade. Both appear in season two, not on arrival, priced at USD 26-180 for the 800-piece Distributor Tier run.
Four Spec Lines a Distributor Tier Buyer Checks
Most quotes describe the moissanite Trillion Cut and skip the part that determines the buyer's margin. Those four lines are listed below with the trade default beside our standard, which is USD 26-180 on the Distributor Tier schedule.
| 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 four into the purchase order and the argument after delivery becomes arithmetic rather than recollection, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
Distributor Pricing Tiers on moissanite Trillion Cut
A distributor does not buy a moissanite Trillion Cut, 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, the figure being USD 26-180 for a 800-piece run.
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, with SGS batch report and bulk carton, 50 per bag stated on the same sheet.
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 moissanite Trillion Cut 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, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 26-180.
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 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
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, which the Distributor Tier file records at USD 26-180 in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
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, and the Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 26-180.
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, quoted at USD 26-180 per piece in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
In a 800-piece run this typically shows on 11 of pieces. Catching it means measuring color consistency within one lot at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
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, shipped as bulk carton, 50 per bag and certified SGS batch report.
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, quoted at USD 26-180 per piece 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 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, which the Distributor Tier file records at USD 26-180 in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
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, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
Sample to Container: The Real Calendar
In US e-commerce, this is the single most negotiated line on moissanite Trillion Cut and the least documented one, quoted at USD 26-180 per piece in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
One practical note on timing for moissanite Trillion Cut: 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 Distributor Tier quote for it sits at USD 26-180.
We date the moissanite Trillion Cut proforma from signature for that reason, and we state the deposit deadline in the same email that carries the spec sheet, and at USD 26-180 for 800 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
AQL, Tray Checks and What a QC Report Should Say
Nobody quotes it for moissanite Trillion Cut until something goes wrong, which is exactly why it belongs in the first email, the figure being USD 26-180 for a 800-piece run.
In US e-commerce terms, this is the difference between a landed cost the buyer can plan against and a number that moves after the container ships. For moissanite Trillion Cut, we publish the figure per SKU and hold it for the order window rather than for the calendar year, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
Practically, it shows up in three places for moissanite Trillion Cut: 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, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
The Calendar Behind a Distributor Tier Run
For bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces, the sequence is fixed and the dates are the only thing that moves, the figure being USD 26-180 for a 800-piece 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.
MOQ stays at 50 pieces per design on moissanite Trillion Cut, low enough to test a shelf and high enough to keep the gauge check independent, and 800 pieces leaves Wuzhou in bulk carton, 50 per bag at USD 26-180.
Getting bulk carton, 50 per bag to US e-commerce
Export runs through Guangzhou or Shenzhen. For Distributor Tier orders the SGS batch report file travels with the shipping documents, not separately, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces.
The clearance term matters more than the rate at 800 pieces. A duty surprise can cost more than the whole freight line, the figure being USD 26-180 for a 800-piece run.
The arrival check is three steps: count cartons against the packing list, weigh a sample tray, and measure ten pieces against color consistency within one lot and girdle integrity after setting, quoted at USD 26-180 per piece in bulk carton, 50 per bag.
The First Distributor Tier Order
The point of a small first run is not the margin. It is finding out whether the supplier's paperwork survives contact with the actual goods, certified SGS batch report and packed bulk carton, 50 per bag at 800 pieces, on a 800-piece Distributor Tier order at USD 26-180.
The first order is the cheapest inspection a buyer will ever run, because the volume is small enough to check every tray by hand, the figure being USD 26-180 for a 800-piece run.
Frequently Asked Questions
What finish do you use, and how thick is it?

How is moissanite Trillion Cut 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.
