China Sourcing Agent — 10 Direct S925 Silver Jewelry Factories (MOQ 50) + Price Sheet

== SUMMARY == We are a Japan-based men's jewelry brand looking for an experienced sourcing agent to find 10 reliable DIRECT FACTORIES in China for S925 sterling silver jewelry (necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings). This is NOT a design job. We provide the reference spec and photos; you research, contact, verify, and shortlist real manufacturers into one comparison spreadsheet. QUALITY COMES FIRST — we are building a long-term supplier bench, not hunting for the cheapest quote. Present us to factories as a brand customer preparing a trial order, with repeat orders to follow. We are also posting a similar sourcing project for 316L stainless steel factories. == REFERENCE SPEC (all 10 factories quote this exact product) == - Pendant necklace: solid lost-wax cast horseshoe pendant, approx. 15 x 13 mm, 2.0 mm thick — photos at kickoff - S925 sterling silver — assay/purity report (SGS or equivalent) required; no silver-plated brass, no "S925" claims without a report - Chain: S925 cable chain approx. 1.8 mm, 45 cm + 5 cm adjuster, lobster clasp - Target weight approx. 6 g — state the actual weight of your sample; high polish (bare silver vs anti-tarnish finish confirmed at kickoff) - "925" stamp + laser-engraved logo on clasp tag (vector file provided) == QUOTE: 50 pcs AND 100 pcs + 1 sample == PRICE FORMAT (silver price fluctuates): every quote must be itemized — (1) silver weight (g) x silver price basis WITH the reference date, (2) labor per piece, (3) plating/anti-tarnish fee if any, (4) other costs (mold, packaging) — plus the quote validity period and the repricing rule for the material portion at order date. Lump-sum quotes with no breakdown do not count. == HARD REQUIREMENTS == 1. DIRECT factories only, no trading companies — state your verification evidence per factory (business license scope, factory video, on-site or third-party audit, official business registry checks). 2. Custom MOQ 50 pcs — factories above this do not count toward the 10. 3. Direct transaction + export to Japan (freight forwarder OK, no reseller in between). 4. Jewelry-grade lost-wax casting, soldering and polishing; clean stamping and engraving; prefer factories with Japan/EU/US export track record and credentials (ISO 9001, BSCI/SEDEX, third-party audits). == DATA PER FACTORY == - ITEMIZED unit price at 50 and 100 pcs (USD, incoterm EXW/FOB/DDP) + shipping to Japan for each quantity - Sample cost, sample lead time, courier cost to Japan - Production lead time at 50/100 pcs, and REPEAT-order lead time - Mold/tooling cost and mold ownership - MOQ, materials handled, assay/purity report availability - Anti-tarnish options: rhodium plating / anti-tarnish coating — available? included or extra? plating thickness in microns - Quality credentials, export/brand track record, QC process & AQL level - Payment methods, defect policy, RCEP certificate of origin (yes/no) - Factory name, city/province, official website or B2B marketplace listing link - Evidence used to confirm direct-factory status - Photos of comparable past work (cast silver pendants, chains, stamping, engraving) == DELIVERABLE == One spreadsheet (Google Sheets/Excel), one row per factory, ranked QUALITY FIRST — price only as a tiebreaker, never rank higher for being cheaper — with a short quality note per factory. Rows missing either price, lacking the itemized breakdown, or above MOQ 50, do not count toward the 10. (Bonus, outside the 10: exceptional factories at MOQ 51–100 may be listed separately.) == TO APPLY == Start your proposal with "REINS". Briefly: your China silver-jewelry sourcing experience (which clusters you know: Shenzhen Shuibei/Luohu, Guangzhou Panyu, Shanwei Haifeng, Yiwu), whether you work with factories directly in Chinese, your delivery speed, and one redacted example of a past sourcing sheet if available.
