Findings & Tools

About our findings & tools

The unglamorous category that makes the rest of the catalogue usable: clasps, bails, posts, backs, settings, blank bands and the small tools a workshop consumes. Buyers who assemble their own pieces order here; buyers who want finished jewelry never see it.

Findings are priced per piece and sold in packs, so the unit price in a listing is the per-piece figure at pack quantity, not a single-unit retail price.

This is also where we list the watch and accessory components that share our production floor — straps, cases and tooling — because they are produced on the same equipment and quoted by the same desk.

What buyers usually ask before the first order

The patterns below come from repeat purchase data, not from a marketing brief. If your assortment differs, say so in the enquiry and we will quote against your spec instead of ours.

Stone and metal combinations

Most of this category is produced in 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating, because that keeps the landed cost low enough to test a new design. Once a style proves itself, the same CAD file is re-cast in 10K, 14K or 18K gold — no new tooling, no new mould cost.

Sizing and finishing

Rings are made to US, UK or EU sizes on request; bracelets and chains ship at 16–20 inches unless a length is specified. Plating thickness is recorded per batch, which matters if your market tests for nickel release.

Reorder behaviour

SKUs are permanent. A reorder of the same SKU in a later season uses the original CAD and the original stone sourcing, so the second delivery matches the first.

Price band for this category

Current factory listings sit between $4 and $45 per piece. The range reflects stone size, metal choice and setting labour — a 0.5 ct silver solitaire and a 3 ct gold three-stone sit at opposite ends of the same category.
