Jewelry MOQ, Sampling, Lead Times & CAD Terms

What is the minimum order quantity?

K-gold cannot be combined with silver / copper-alloy orders to meet MOQ. Small loose-stone purchases and special projects may be discussed. Final terms follow the quotation.

When does the production clock start?

What files are accepted, and who keeps the CAD source?

STL, STEP and 3DM files are accepted for assessment. Photos and sketches can be developed into a model for an agreed fee. Revisions within the original design framework normally allow up to three rounds before approval; major redesigns are priced separately. Renderings can be supplied, while production 3D / CAD source files are not delivered by default. A paid buyout and intellectual-property terms must be agreed in writing.

MOQ & Sampling Rules

Order scope

Kabasi supports customer-stone setting, new custom designs and purchases of existing stock. Finished jewelry, loose stones, components and packaging are treated as separate categories. Setting-only, sample and mixed-style orders are supported under the applicable rules; contact the service team for project terms.

S925 silver / copper-alloy finished jewelry

New custom design and mold: 50 pieces per style. Repeat design: 30 pieces per style. Customer-supplied stone setting: 50 pieces. Mixed existing styles: at least 10 pieces per style and 50 pieces in total.

K-gold customization

A new custom design may be ordered as a single piece. Repeat orders start at 10 pieces per style. Customer-stone K-gold setting starts at 30 pieces. Gold material cost fluctuates with the market; the quotation locks the stated gold price for the quotation day. K-gold cannot be mixed with silver / copper-alloy orders to meet MOQ.

Loose stones

For Hetian jade, red agate, chalcedony, moissanite and lab-grown diamonds: standard in-stock loose stones generally start at 30 stones per specification; small purchases may be discussed. Directed selection or a specified size / color starts at 50 stones.

Metal components

In-stock mountings, empty settings and silver components start at 50 pieces. Newly molded custom components start at 100 pieces.

Opening a development order

After the customer accepts the estimate: (1) record estimated silver weight, number of stones, components and all requirements established in quoting; (2) confirm drawing, master and sample milestones; (3) review and approve CAD before sample / master production; (4) create the production archive, recording master silver weight, finished weight, fineness, stone materials, setting labor, working hours, process loss, production routing and components.

Types of sample order

A single customer-stone setting sample is possible with a setting-labor charge; any credit against a later bulk order is agreed under the order policy. A new 3D master and sample incur development plus sample-material charges. For a repeat design, 1-2 paid samples may be requested for verification. The approved sealed sample becomes the mass-production reference.

Sample workflow

Record customer requirements clearly on the process sheet. Confirm the sample date. Confirm the quotation and any difference from the estimate. After sample approval, reproduce the approved master to match the sample.

Master workflow

Define the master order clearly. Check the completed master against requirements. Coordinate mold preparation with the follow-up team and arrange batch production.

Sample fee credit

After sample confirmation and a qualifying bulk order, sample fees may be credited against bulk payment by prior agreement. Sampling without a bulk order is non-refundable.

Indicative sample timing

General sampling guidance is 3-7 days, excluding transit. Complex styles, two-tone finishes and special stones require separate schedule confirmation. The detailed lead-time document gives working-day schedules after design / process approval and payment; confirmed order terms govern.

Sample ownership

Finished samples are sent with the sample order. Customer stones used for sampling are returned with the sample / finished pieces as applicable. The factory retains a right to archive reference masters and samples.

Additional terms

MOQ, sample charges and lead times follow the final quotation. Special large orders and long-term cooperation can be discussed individually. Samples are not automatically free: sample and development costs are assessed before work begins.

Information Required for Quotation

Why a complete brief matters

Complete information helps us prepare an accurate, itemized quotation in one pass.

Design drawing or reference sample

Send renders, photographs, hand sketches or reference links, and state whether this is a supplied design or new development. Mark structural details, settings, carving, customer logo, component requirements and color separation.

Metal

Specify S925 silver, white copper / another agreed copper alloy, or another material. State plating requirements such as white-metal appearance, yellow-gold tone, antiquing or separated colors.

Gemstone plan

Choose factory-supplied or customer-supplied stones. Specify material, dimensions, shape, color and clarity requirements.

Special processes and quality

State special needs such as brushing, sandblasting or a closed / open back beneath the main stone. Specify standard or refined workmanship, plating color and thickness.

Finished dimensions

Specify ring sizes, pendant height and width, bracelet / chain lengths and other dimensions. For mixed specifications, provide a size list.

Quantity

Give sample and bulk quantities and state whether styles are mixed, referring to the customization rules.

Optional budget

A budget helps us recommend suitable metal and gemstone combinations.

Destination

Provide the receiving country / region so freight and export-related requirements can be assessed.

Additional requirements

Include packaging, laser logo, engraving, inspection documents and delivery requirements where relevant.

Design Files & CAD Services

Accepted formats

3D files: STL, STEP and 3DM. Reference materials: renderings, photographs, hand sketches and images of physical reference pieces. Images / sketches without a 3D source require new modeling; images are appearance references and cannot be sent directly to printing or production.

Modeling charges

Original modeling from a sketch or photo is charged separately. If a later bulk order reaches the agreed MOQ, the modeling fee may be credited by agreement. Suitable customer 3D files generally incur a small fee for checking, repairs and setting / ring-size adjustments; a sound, production-ready file needs no new-modeling fee. Minor changes within an existing design cost less than a completely new model and are quoted by complexity.

Included revisions

Before initial design approval, a fixed number of revisions within the original framework may cover dimensions, stone positions and plating details; the usual limit is three rounds.

Additional revisions

Major structural changes, a different main-stone style, substantial reshaping or new carved elements count as additional modeling and are charged separately. Major structural changes after file sign-off require a new price and production schedule.

Deliverables and source files

Customers receive preview renderings. The factory retains production 3D files for manufacturing. CAD / 3DM original project files are not supplied by default. Source-file buyout requires an additional fee and a contract defining the rights.

Design rights and archive

Customers warrant that they hold the rights to supplied drawings and sketches. The factory provides modeling and manufacturing services and does not accept infringement liability arising from customer-supplied designs. Approved production 3D records are archived for future reorders.

Lead Times & Response Times

Quotation response

Complete standard inquiries are normally quoted within 24 hours. Complex structures, fresh modeling and multiple gemstone / mixed-specification orders generally require 1-2 working days.

Sample starting point

The clock starts after the CAD / 3D plan and all process requirements are confirmed and sample payment is received.

Sample schedule

Simple standard samples: 5-7 working days. Complex carving, filigree, special settings, special plating or customer-stone custom samples: 8-12 working days.

Bulk starting point

The clock starts after the sample is approved and sealed, bulk drawings are finalized, the deposit has arrived and stones are available.

Bulk schedule

Standard designs: 12-18 working days. Complex designs, multiple processes, two-tone work, special stones and large mixed-style orders require an individual schedule.

Schedule conditions

Reference times exclude logistics. Holiday and peak-season scheduling is communicated in advance. Repeated design changes, stone replacement or process changes extend the schedule. All lead times follow the confirmed order contract.
