Silver Jewelry Factory Thailand
There are many Thai silver jewelry factories, while this is good news it also means that selecting a particular jewelry factory in Thailand to manufacture your wholesale or volume silver jewelry requirements is not going to be very easy. As you would be aware, factories differ widely in terms of skills and expertise. Even when a jewelry factory is known for it's good craftsmanship, this might be true only for some specific product lines. Kaisilver Thailand the leading online high end custom made jewelry provider, maintains the same high standard for gold and silver jewelry. However with each jewel being meticulously handcrafted by highly skilled artisans, this Thai jewelry factory is more suited for high quality gold and silver jewelry. Perfect if you need a few silver jewels for your collection or have a shop with, clients that understand fine quality jewelry and its pricing. Email the Kaisilver team at sales@kaisilver.com if you have any questions or requirements related to gemstones and jewelry.
This is a finely crafted silver ring for a Kaisilver client. The requirement was for a CZ (cubic zirconia) engagement ring - a synthetic gemstone that looks like a diamond, an affordable gemstone. We provided the same high end standards, that we maintain for more expensive gold jewelry. The client decided to go for a diamond ring with authentic diamonds, on the first wedding anniversary.
When working on a tight price point for silver ruby or sapphire gemstone rings, it is important to explain the gem options to the customer. Even medium grade natural rubies, would involve a high price tag. Options would be fissure filled (also called glass filled) rubies but, it is important to explain all details to the customer. Synthetic or lab created ruby gemstones are another option.
THE BASICS
Before you start your search for a silver jewelry factory in Thailand, have a clear idea of the type of jewelry that you need, your required price point and volumes. True that Thai jewelry factories will give you a lower price as volume moves up but, you will need to consider your market as, you surely do not want to be stuck with slow moving inventories.
With both wholesalers and retailers working on an increasingly skinnier profit margin, labor charges become a sensitive issue. You cannot mark up silver jewelry prices heavily on the metal and gemstone cost component. Most wholesale jewelry buyers and sellers are aware of current pricing trends. Labor overheads are one expense element that can be pushed down though, this might beyond a certain degree result in a quality compromise.
When choosing a particular Thai jewelry factory to produce your sterling silver jewelry, it is important to learn the quality that they can deliver - the labor charges should be discussed and bargained only when the quality promised is found to be acceptable for your needs. We say this because, a high labor charge might not translate into better quality.
CHOOSING A FACTORY
If you have come to the stage of selecting a silver jewelry factory in Thailand for your production requirements, you surely have made up your mind about the gemstones that you require and who exactly would supply them. It might be a good idea to leave the gem selection to the jewelry factory especially if, they specialize in gemstone procurement and manufacturing. Once again your decision for the source of the gems would depend on the equation between quality and price. If you decide to let the Thai 925 silver jewelry factory in Thailand to procure gems for the jewelry, make sure that you both have agreed on the quality and price acceptable. We might mention once again that Kaisilver is networked to gem mining and cutting operations globally. This gives Kaisilver preferential access to a large volume of natural gems. However as we mentioned earlier, Kaisilver is not suited for your requirements if, you need very low priced jewelry.
Supplying stones to the jewelry factory has it's share of advantages. When you procure the gems to be set in your silver jewelry and supply them to the factory, you know what stones the jewelry would end up with. This might be a price advantage too if, you can procure the gems at a better price than the jewelry factory could. If you choose this option clearly agree on the delivery date, for the gems to the factory. Delayed supply of the gems to the Thai silver jewelry factory, could lead to problems and result in a blaming game. Most countries expect jewelry sellers to clearly disclose the use of any gem enhancing treatment if, applied to the gems. Factor this into your gem procurement strategy, this can help you avoid legal wrangles in the future.
QUALITY CONTROL
You want to choose a silver jewelry factory in Thailand that, maintains a fully equipped quality checking unit. Ending up with defective stocks and arguing about returns and refunds, can be a draining and demotivating experience. Q.C or quality control processes are an important part of any jewelry production, sale or purchase. A proper arrangement is best worked out with the silver jewelry factory in Thailand before, the order process is finalized. If you will not be inspecting the silver jewelry being manufactured, things will need to be more clearly defined. It would mean that, you are relying on the jewelry factory in Thailand, to produce the jewelry and then put quality checks in place to ensure that your requirements are met. To begin with, this requires a more careful selection of the Thai silver jewelry factory - keep this in mind.
The next thing is to decide and agree on the process to be followed if, the silver jewelry that reaches you has quality related problems. And if the the jewelry received by you passes your Q.C inspection but, comes back as a return from the final customer - who would you expect should take back the merchandise. Many jewelry sellers have a policy that, helps them sell more. They promise a 'no questions asked' return policy if the returns are made within, a specific number of days from the purchase. If your silver jewelry buyer, works on such a policy, will he expect you in turn to take back returns received by him. And if this is so, will you expect the jewelry factory in Thailand to accept returns from you. In our opinion, no jewelry factory in Thailand would accept a no questions asked returns policy unless, the factory is owned by the seller.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Choose a Thai jewelry factory that has staff that can communicate in your language. Our suggestion is to keep it simple and find a factory, that has communication capabilities in Thai and English. Remember that you might have to communicate over the phone or by email, make sure that someone in the silver jewelry factory will be around to understand your communications. The best policy to follow is to keep all communication on record and in writing. Even discussions that were done on phone should be summarized and placed on a document.
It has become common for factories and offices in Thailand, to manage their client communications on applications like Messenger, WhatsApp and LINE. Working with a Thai silver jewelry factory on these applications can be easy, quick and effective. However make sure that all important agreements, quotations and delivery details etc - are printed out and maintained as a hard copy.
GEMOPOLIS PRODUCTION
If you happen to be looking for a gold or silver jewelry factory in Thailand, look for one located in the GEMOPOLIS Gems and Jewelry Estate at Samut Prakarn just next to Bangkok in Thailand. Over a hundred companies and factories dealing in jewelry manufacturing and services, gemstones and diamonds. It might be a good idea to contact Gemopolis and request them to provide you with a list of factories and their location withing the Estate. The Gemopolis Website provides contact details.
SUMMARY
Thai jewelry factories are well known for their skills and dedication. Just make sure that issues and agreements are clearly understood by both sides. And to repeat, keep everything on record and in writing (emails or similar documents). It might be a good idea to pay a visit to the factory but, this is not always feasible especially if you are based overseas and the jewelry orders are not large enough to justify an expensive journey.
