Jewelry is a balance of aesthetics and material integrity. We help global brands and wholesalers source Sterling Silver, Brass, and Stainless Steel jewelry from China’s most reliable workshops. We focus on the technical side—plating microns, stone setting precision, and non-toxic compliance—to ensure your collection meets international luxury and safety standards.
Why Quality Verification is Vital in Jewelry Sourcing
In the jewelry industry, “shiny” doesn’t always mean “quality.” For B2B buyers, the risks are often microscopic but high-stakes:
- The “Base Metal” Mystery: Is that “Silver” actually silver? We use XRF spectrometers to verify the metal purity (e.g., 92.5% silver) before production starts.
- Plating Longevity: Many “Gold-plated” items fade within weeks. We ensure factories follow specific Micron Gold Plating (0.5µm to 3.0µm) or PVD coating standards for long-lasting wear.
- The “Falling Stone” Issue: Poorly executed pavé or prong settings lead to high return rates. We inspect the security of every stone setting under magnification.
- Chemical Compliance: For the US and EU markets, meeting REACH and Prop 65 standards (Lead/Nickel/Cadmium-free) is non-negotiable. We manage the lab testing process for you.
HSY Sourcing acts as your quality gatekeeper, ensuring the factory’s “standard” matches your “brand standard.”

Our Multi-Stage Jewelry QC Protocol
We don’t just look at the design; we audit the craftsmanship:
- Material Purity Test: Randomly testing raw materials and finished pieces to confirm the metal content (Silver/Gold/Steel).
- Plating Adhesion & Thickness: Supervising “Salt Spray Tests” and “Cross-cut Tests” to ensure the gold layer won’t peel or tarnish prematurely.
- Stone Setting Audit: Inspecting under 10x magnification to ensure prongs are smooth, stones are level, and there is no visible glue or loose settings.
- Polishing & Finish Quality: Checking for “mirror finishes”—ensuring no scratches, pits, or dull spots on the metal surface.
- Functionality Check: Testing clasps, jump rings, and earring posts for durability and ease of use.
