Moissanite wholesale bulk pricing is the first thing jewelry retailers, e-commerce sellers, and boutique owners look for when sourcing moissanite at scale. A boutique chain in Texas reached out last year after buying from three different wholesalers and finding inconsistent stone grading across shipments - one parcel marked D-VVS1 contained 30 percent F-G stones, which caused a wave of customer complaints. We rebuilt their ordering workflow with matched stone grading reports and consistent inventory, and their repeat order rate climbed 42 percent in six months.
This article lays out moissanite wholesale bulk pricing with transparent price tiers, current stock availability, distributor account terms, shipping speeds to US and EU destinations, and the QC process we run on every wholesale parcel before it leaves our warehouse. Retailers and resellers can use this as a working reference when planning inventory or evaluating new wholesale partners.
Wholesale Program Overview
HOLYCOME operates a dedicated wholesale channel (moissawholesale.com) for retailers, boutique chains, e-commerce sellers, and independent jewelry designers who need consistent inventory at transparent volume pricing. Our wholesale warehouse in Guangzhou carries rotating stock of our top 80 SKUs across rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and loose stones. For stocked items, we ship within two business days of payment. For made-to-order or custom items, we coordinate directly with our Guangzhou factory.
Every wholesale parcel goes through our warehouse QC before packing: stones are verified for color and clarity grade against master stones aligned with the GIA 4Cs framework, metal fineness is spot-checked with XRF for every batch, and pieces are inspected for finish, stone security, and pair matching where applicable. We comply with labeling guidance from the FTC Jewelry Guides, which helps our US retail partners stay on the right side of disclosure requirements. IGI grading reports are available for pieces above half a carat at an added fee.

Production Process for loose moissanite and finished moissanite jewelry
- CAD and prototyping. Every custom order starts with CAD in RhinoGold or Matrix. We deliver renderings within 48 hours of receiving reference images or sketches. After written client approval, waxes are cut on CNC machines with 0.02mm tolerance or printed on 3D wax printers for complex geometries.
- Wax assembly and investment casting. Waxes are assembled onto sprue trees sized to control metal flow velocity, reducing turbulence porosity. Trees go through seven coats of ceramic investment, an 18-hour controlled-humidity dry, and a 12-hour programmed burnout cycle reaching 730 degrees Celsius. Vacuum induction casting machines fill flasks at alloy-specific temperatures under low-pressure argon.
- Sprue removal and pre-polish. Cast pieces are cut from trees with flex-shaft tools and sprues ground flush. Magnetic tumbling with 0.3mm stainless pin media removes internal casting scale over 48 hours. A first bench polish with tripoli compound prepares surfaces for stone setting.
- Stone sorting and setting. Moissanite stones are sorted for each order with digital micrometers and daylight-matched lighting. Master setters secure stones with the specified technique (prong, pave, channel, or bezel). Prong-set stones undergo a 35kgf pull test; pave beads are cut at 45-degree angles under stereo microscopes.
- Final polish, plating, and assembly. Pieces are hand polished with rouge compounds on all visible surfaces, ultrasonically cleaned, and steam-blasted. White gold and sterling silver pieces are rhodium plated to a verified 2 to 3 microns. Findings such as clasps, posts, and backs are attached with laser welding for joints subject to stress.
- AQL 1.5 quality control. Twenty-two inspection points are checked, including stone security, dimensional tolerances (shank diameter within 0.05mm, post alignment within 0.5 degrees, chain length within 3mm), plating thickness, surface finish under 10x, hallmark legibility, and pair matching where applicable. Defective pieces go back for rework before reinspection.
- Packing and export. Passed pieces are sealed in individual poly bags with anti-tarnish strips for silver, then packed in export cartons with foam cushioning and all required customs documentation.

Tooling and mold fees for fully custom designs range from $150 to $400 depending on design complexity; these are one-time charges, and the master mold remains client property. Sample orders carry an 80 percent surcharge over bulk pricing, fully credited against the first bulk order of $2000 or more. Standard payment terms are 30 percent deposit by T/T wire with the remaining 70 percent due before shipment. Approved accounts with over $10000 in lifetime spend qualify for Net-30 terms.
MOQ, Lead Times, and Shipping
Standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style for custom OEM designs and 30 pieces per style for existing catalog molds. Mixed-SKU orders are welcome as long as each individual style meets the style minimum. First-time buyers may place a 30-piece trial order at a 15 percent surcharge to evaluate quality before a larger commitment.
Sample orders of 1 to 10 pieces ship in 7 to 10 working days. Standard bulk production runs 15 to 25 working days after deposit and written CAD approval; 14K gold pieces and fully custom designs typically run 20 to 28 days due to alloy scheduling. Rush production with a 10-working-day turnaround is available for an 18 to 25 percent expedite fee when line capacity allows.
Shipping is via DHL Express or FedEx with full insurance up to invoice value. Transit to US addresses takes 3 to 5 working days and 3 to 7 working days to most EU destinations. Free shipping applies to orders over $2000 FOB Shenzhen. We provide commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and EUR-1 movement certificates for EU clients under the GSP program. For orders over 10,000 pieces, sea freight from Shenzhen or Guangzhou ports is available at reduced cost.
