Bulk Jewelry Orders: MOQ, Pricing, Lead Time and Tips
Ordering jewelry in bulk? Learn how MOQ, pricing tiers, deposits and lead times work so you can plan margins and stock safely.
How MOQ Works in Practice
Minimum order quantity depends on the metal and design. Simple silver and stainless styles can start at 50-100 pieces, while custom gold designs usually require a higher minimum because of material cost. Ask for the MOQ for each specific SKU, not a single factory-wide number.
Pricing Tiers, Deposits and Payment
| Order size | Typical price advantage | Lead time |
|---|---|---|
| 50-100 pieces | Base wholesale price | 7-15 days |
| 200-500 pieces | 5-10% discount | 2-3 weeks |
| 1000+ pieces | 10-20% discount | 3-5 weeks |
Most factories take a 30-50% deposit and the balance before shipment. Use secure payment methods with buyer protection and keep the agreed terms in writing.
Quality Control and Packaging for Bulk Orders
Ask for pre-shipment inspection photos or a third-party QC report, and agree on packaging: individual jewelry bags, cards or branded boxes all affect freight cost and unboxing experience.
