What is the minimum order quantity for custom silver jewelry?
At Pramana Silver, we strive to make custom silver jewelry accessible to businesses of all sizes. Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) typically starts from around USD 200 for a first or sample order. This allows you to explore our craftsmanship without a significant initial investment. For per-design piece minimums, we often accommodate mixed or assorted catalogue orders. This flexibility ensures you can receive a variety of designs in a single order. We understand the importance of testing samples before committing to bulk purchases, so we offer samples upon request. Larger OEM runs are quoted per design, ensuring you receive a competitive and fair price for your specific needs. This approach supports both new and established businesses in building their unique collections with high-quality Celuk silver jewelry.
How does silver spot pricing affect my order cost?
The cost of your silver jewelry order from Pramana Silver is closely linked to silver spot pricing. Silver trades per troy ounce in USD, and this fluctuating market rate directly influences the base-metal cost of each piece. To calculate this, consider the gram weight x 0.925 (to account for the purity of sterling silver) x the current silver price per gram. In addition to the metal cost, labor, workmanship, and any stones are factored into the total price. Our quotes are itemized to provide transparency, and we apply volume discounts where applicable. Given the dynamic nature of silver prices, we recommend confirming the current rate at the time of your inquiry. This ensures you receive an accurate and up-to-date quote reflecting the latest market conditions.
What is the difference between 925 and plated silver jewelry?
Understanding the distinction between 925 sterling silver and plated silver jewelry is crucial for making informed purchasing decisions. 925 sterling silver comprises 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals, typically copper, for enhanced durability. Each piece is hallmark-stamped “925” to verify its authenticity. This is real solid silver, known for being lead-free and nickel-free, making it hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. In contrast, silver-plated jewelry involves a thin layer of silver coating a base metal, which can wear away over time, exposing the underlying material. Unlike silver-plated items, 925 sterling silver can be independently assay or SGS tested to confirm its purity and quality. Choosing 925 sterling silver ensures a longer-lasting, more valuable product that maintains its appearance and integrity over time.
How long does the OEM CAD process take for custom designs?
The OEM CAD process for custom silver jewelry designs at Pramana Silver typically requires approximately 3-4 weeks. This timeline includes several critical stages: design creation, CAD modeling, sample sign-off, and production. Initially, we collaborate with you to develop your unique design ideas into precise CAD models. Once the CAD designs are approved, we produce samples for your evaluation and feedback. After you sign off on the samples, we proceed with the production process, ensuring meticulous quality control at each step. While the standard timeline is around 3-4 weeks, more complex or larger collections may necessitate additional time. Our goal is to deliver high-quality custom jewelry that meets your specifications while adhering to reasonable lead times, ensuring your satisfaction with both the process and the final product.
What are the shipping options for international orders?
Pramana Silver offers several shipping options to accommodate the needs of our international wholesale clients. Our standard shipping term is FOB Bali/Denpasar, providing flexibility in choosing your preferred shipping method. For speed and security, we typically ship jewelry via insured air courier services like DHL or FedEx. These couriers ensure timely delivery and provide tracking for peace of mind. For very large orders, sea freight is available, though it may result in longer transit times. Each shipment includes essential export documents such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and HS code 7113 for jewelry of precious metal, along with Indonesian export permits. We recommend securing transit insurance to protect your investment during shipping. By offering a range of shipping options, we ensure your orders reach you in the most efficient and secure manner possible.
How do you ensure the quality of your silver jewelry?
Quality assurance is a cornerstone of Pramana Silver’s operations. We adhere to stringent quality control measures to ensure each piece of jewelry meets our high standards. Our process begins with sourcing reputable Celuk silver, known for being lead-free and nickel-free, and suitable for sensitive skin. During production, we incorporate traditional artisan techniques such as granulation, filigree, lost-wax casting, and hand-stamping, which contribute to the distinctive quality of our pieces. Prior to shipment, we conduct thorough inspections to verify the weight, finish, and stone settings of each item. Independent assay or SGS testing is available to confirm the purity of our 925 sterling silver. This commitment to quality ensures you receive jewelry that is not only beautiful but also durable and reliable, reflecting the rich craftsmanship of Celuk’s heritage.
