Sourcing reliable bulk bracelets supplier at B2B prices is one of the most frequent requests our sales team receives from independent jewelry brands, chain retailers, and online resellers. Buyers routinely tell us they spent months testing suppliers only to hit three recurring pain points: inconsistent stone quality across batches, missed delivery windows during Q4 holiday season, and minimum order quantities that tie up working capital in slow-moving SKUs. At HOLYCOME we have manufactured and exported bracelets for over 12 years, and this guide lays out the actual numbers, lead times, and process checks you need before placing a production order.
Procurement Numbers: MOQ, Pricing, Lead Time, Payment
Let us start with the hard numbers buyers need on the first call. Our standard MOQ sits at 50 pcs per SKU for stock, 100 pcs for custom orders. Sample orders are welcome for first-time buyers who want to verify finish, weight, and stone brightness before committing to bulk production. Pricing is quoted per piece on an FOB Shenzhen basis, with tiered volume breaks as follows: under 100 pcs: unit price; 100-300 pcs: 5% volume rebate; 300+ pcs: 10% off, ex-factory pricing. All quotes include standard poly bag and velvet pouch packaging; branded gift boxes, logo-embossed pouches, and custom hangtags are available at extra cost based on volume. Payment terms are straightforward: 30% deposit via T/T, balance against B/L copy; Western Union for small sample payments under $500.
Lead times depend on whether you are ordering an existing design or developing something new. Samples 3-7 days depending on complexity, bulk 18-28 days. These numbers include stone setting, polishing, rhodium or e-coating where applicable, and final QC. We do not outsource plating or setting to third-party shops; every step happens in our own 4,200-square-meter workshop in Wuzhou, which keeps lead times stable even during Q4 peak season.

Customization Capabilities for Bracelets Programs
Most B2B customers need at least one of the following customizations, and we handle all of them in-house without passing work to subcontractors.
Metal and Material Options
We produce bracelets in 925 sterling silver with rhodium, yellow gold, or rose gold plating; 10K/14K/18K solid gold in yellow, white, and rose; and brass base with premium plating for price-sensitive fashion lines. Stone options include our own HOLYCOME branded moissanite (DEF through GH color, VVS1 to VS clarity), IGI-certified CVD/HPHT lab grown diamonds, cubic zirconia, and natural colored gemstones on request. Plating thickness can be specified from 0.5 microns for everyday fashion pieces up to 3 microns for pieces expected to withstand daily wear over years.
Branding, Packaging, and Supporting Assets
Laser logo engraving is free on orders above 200 pcs per design, applied either by laser for crisp line detail or by die-striking for a deeper, premium feel. Packaging ranges from simple OPP bags to custom-printed rigid boxes with your SKU barcode printed on the bottom. We also supply product photography on white background at no charge for orders over 500 pcs, which many of our e-commerce customers drop directly into their Shopify or Amazon listings.
Quality Control Workflow Before Shipment
Every piece passes through eight QC stations in sequence: incoming stone inspection under 10x loupe for color and clarity match, casting porosity check under strong side lighting, setting security check to confirm no loose stones and no overlapping prongs, polishing and finishing inspection for uniform brightness, plating thickness verification using XRF, dimensional check against the approved spec sheet (ring size tolerance ±0.05 mm, stone weight within ±0.03 ct, plating ±0.2 micron), visual inspection under daylight-equivalent D65 lighting, and a final random pull by the QC manager. We reject any piece with visible porosity, uneven prong tips, plating discoloration, or stones that fall outside the ordered color and clarity grade.
A common mistake first-time importers make is judging a factory by showroom samples alone. Showroom samples are usually hand-selected; the real quality signal shows up in the fifth or sixth bulk shipment. We retain a sealed reference sample for every active PO, signed off by both parties, and production runs are compared against that reference at every QC station. This is how we keep melee stone color matching within a half-grade across batches, even on orders of thousands of pieces.
Buyers who want to cross-reference our stone grading against independent industry standards can refer to the GIA 4Cs diamond grading framework; our internal grading for moissanite and lab grown diamonds is aligned to the same color and clarity scale so there is no translation gap when you communicate grades to your end customers.
For U.S. market compliance, the FTC Jewelry Guides require clear disclosure when stones described as "diamond" are lab grown, and we include compliant disclosure language on all commercial invoices and packing slips.
EU-bound orders are tested for nickel release and cadmium content against EU Regulation 2023/988 on general product safety and REACH; SGS lab reports can be supplied per lot at buyer request.
Three Real-World Buying Scenarios
These are three engagement patterns we see regularly, to help you judge whether our operation matches your buying model.
DTC brand scaling a bestseller. A U.S.-based direct-to-consumer brand came to us after their previous supplier shipped a batch of a sterling silver moissanite tennis bracelet with 8% prong defects right before Valentine's Day. We produced a 1,200-piece run in 14 days using their existing mold, ran 100% piece inspection, and delivered with a defect rate under 0.3%. Their repeat restock lead time is now locked at 10-12 days.
European chain launching private label. A European jewelry chain with 80+ retail doors used our OEM program to develop a 40-SKU bracelets collection under their own brand. We handled CAD design, sampling in three metal finishes, production, and custom packaging. The first 6,000-piece order shipped within 25 days of sample approval, and they have now placed four repeat orders.
Boutique testing new designs. A boutique owner ordered 40 pieces across four bracelets designs at stock MOQ, mixed sizes and finishes, and reordered two designs that sold through within three weeks. Our flexible MOQ on existing molds lets small buyers test demand without tying up capital in large inventory commitments.
