Material: FAQ

How do I ensure the bead or finding size is correct for my design?

Always check the product description for specific measurements in millimeters (mm) rather than relying on photos. Many sellers provide a scale reference image or a digital caliper measurement to help visualize the actual size accurately.

How can I verify if the silver materials are genuine 925 sterling?

Look for the 'S925' hallmark in the product images and review customer feedback for independent acid test results. Reputable 'Top Brand' stores on AliExpress often provide digital certificates of authenticity for their precious metal components.

Will the gold-colored materials tarnish or fade quickly?

To ensure longevity, prioritize materials labeled as 'Gold Filled' or 'PVD Coated' rather than simple electroplating. These technical standards offer significantly higher resistance to wear, moisture, and daily friction.

How are fragile gemstones or delicate wires protected during international transit?

Established jewelry suppliers typically use vacuum-sealed bags and multi-layer bubble wrap to prevent surface scratches. For bulk orders, many sellers include hard-shell plastic organizer boxes to ensure items arrive in pristine condition.

Recommendations for buyers

  • Verify Base Metal Composition
    Always confirm the base metal under the plating; 316L stainless steel and 925 sterling silver are the industry standards for hypoallergenic and durable jewelry.
  • Check Gemstone Clarity Grades
    When purchasing loose stones like moissanite or cubic zirconia, look for VVS1 clarity ratings and 'Excellent' cut grades to ensure maximum brilliance.
  • Analyze Wholesale Lot Quantities
    Jewelry components are often sold in strings or bulk packs. Calculate the price per unit to ensure you are receiving the best value for your production needs.
  • Review Seller 'Choice' Status
    Select items with the 'Choice' badge for more reliable shipping speeds and consolidated delivery, which is vital for maintaining a consistent supply chain.
