What You’ll Know Before Requesting Samples
Free vs. Paid Sample Options
Selected in-stock jewelry samples may be provided at no product charge for qualified B2B buyers. Custom prototypes, logo applications, special finishes, molds, and packaging mockups are quoted based on project scope.
Realistic Sample Lead Times
Stock samples are typically dispatched within 1–3 business days. Custom jewelry samples usually take 20–30 business days after design approval, depending on design complexity, materials, plating, stone setting, and revision rounds.
Sample Fee Credit Options
Eligible sample or tooling fees may be credited toward bulk production when the final order meets the agreed quantity, project scope, and payment terms.
What You Can Review Before Production Starts
A professional jewelry sampling process should give buyers more than a finished sample. Before development or bulk production begins, CCK Jewelry can provide practical reference materials, quality records, testing guidance, plating information, and sample approval documentation to help your team make a clearer sourcing decision.
Testing & Compliance Planning
For projects with retailer, market, or material-specific requirements, our team can help define a practical testing path before production. This may include nickel release, heavy metal, plating durability, or third-party testing support based on your target market and product type.
What you can request: Applicable test scope, third-party documentation support, guidance on nickel release and heavy metals, and pre-production test planning.
QC & AQL Inspection Planning
We document inspection expectations before production, including key checkpoints, defect severity guidance, approval records, and AQL-based final inspection planning aligned with your product category and sales channel.
What you can review: Inspection flow, AQL guidance, sample approval record, revision log, and shipment QC summary.
Finish, Color & Plating Review
Compare plating references, finish options, and available swatches before sample approval. This helps buyers evaluate appearance, durability, material compatibility, and bulk production consistency.
What you can review: Standard plating references, finish guidance, digital swatches, and physical swatch options.
Sample Tracking & Approval Records
We keep key sample milestones, revision notes, material decisions, finish approvals, and retained reference samples visible so your team can track changes and align the approved sample with production.
What you can expect: Milestone tracking, revision notes, recorded material and finish decisions, and retained production references.
Sampling Policy
Our jewelry sample policy explains what is included in stock sample review, which requests require paid development, and how qualified B2B buyers can evaluate materials, finish, construction, packaging, and production feasibility before placing a bulk order.
Included in Stock Sample Review
- Selected in-stock jewelry styles from current collections
- Available standard plating colors and finishes
- Basic sample packaging for evaluation
- Material, finish, and product reference information
- Initial production feasibility feedback
Usually Quoted Separately
- Custom molds, new tooling, or exclusive shapes
- Logo engraving, branded tags, or packaging mockups
- Special plating, uncommon materials, or custom stone sourcing
- Complex stone setting or structure development
- Rush sample requests or multiple revision rounds
Free stock sampling is reviewed case by case for qualified business buyers with a defined product category, target market, launch timeline, and estimated production volume.
Who Qualifies for Free Stock Samples
Free stock samples are intended for qualified business buyers who are actively evaluating products for a real brand, retail, or sourcing program. This helps us support serious projects with faster review, clearer recommendations, and more relevant sample selection.
Who This Program Is For
Free stock samples are typically available to:
- Jewelry brands reviewing new suppliers or preparing a product launch
- Retail buyers evaluating assortment, finish, and quality for upcoming collections
- Private label buyers developing products for their own brand
- Importers and sourcing teams with defined product requirements and target volume
- Established sellers on retail or e-commerce channels with a clear market plan
To qualify, buyers should be able to share basic business and project details so our team can recommend the right sample route.
What We Ask You to Share
To review your request, please include:
- Company name
- Website, store link, or sales channel
- Target market
- Product category of interest
- Estimated order volume
- Launch timeline or sourcing timeline
- Preferred materials, finishes, or plating colors
- Reference images, links, or a tech pack if available
The more clearly your project is defined, the more accurately we can recommend stock samples, custom development, or private label options.
Important Notes
Free sampling applies to selected in-stock styles only. Shipping costs are usually paid by the buyer unless otherwise agreed.
As a general policy, we provide one sample kit per company per season. Requests involving custom molds, special materials, logo applications, engraving, exclusive plating, or packaging mockups are typically reviewed under paid sample development rather than the free stock sample program.
Choose the Right Sample Route
Not every sourcing project starts in the same place. Some buyers need a quick quality check using existing styles, while others need a sample route built around a reference, a new design, or brand presentation requirements. The guide below helps you choose the option that best fits your product stage and approval goals.
| Sample Route | Best For | What’s Included | When to Choose It | Typical Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock Jewelry Sample Kit | Early supplier evaluation | Selected in-stock pieces from relevant categories | When you want to review quality, finish, weight, plating, and basic presentation before custom development | Faster first-stage supplier decision |
| Reference-Based Sample Matching | Projects based on an existing target style | Review of your reference item, image, or link with structure, material, and finish recommendations | When you want a manufacturable version of a style you already have in mind | A more realistic development path based on your reference |
| Custom Jewelry Prototype | New product development | Design review, construction assessment, material review, and manufacturability feedback | When your design needs feasibility review before sampling | A custom sample route that supports better approval and production planning |
| Private Label Jewelry Sample | Branded product review | Logo details, engraving, branded tags, cards, pouches, boxes, or display packaging | When the product direction is set and brand presentation needs review | A sample that reflects your customer-facing brand presentation |
Still Not Sure Which Route Fits Best? Start Here.
Stock Jewelry Sample Kit
Best if you want a fast quality review using existing styles from our current collection. This route helps you evaluate plating, weight, construction, packaging, and overall supplier fit before moving into custom development.
Reference-Based Sample Matching
Best if you already have a target style, image, link, or physical sample. Our team reviews structure, material, finish, and manufacturability, then recommends a practical production route.
Custom Jewelry Prototype
Best for new product development. We review your design, material preferences, plating method, stone setting, and construction details before creating a production-ready sample.
Private Label Jewelry Sample
Best when the product direction is already defined and your team needs to review logo placement, branded packaging, tags, cards, pouches, boxes, or other presentation details.
Not sure which option is right for your project? Share your references, target timing, and expected volume, and our team will recommend the most practical route.
What to Share for Accurate Jewelry Sampling
To provide an accurate sample recommendation, please share your target market, product category, material and plating preferences, reference images or links, expected order quantity, launch timeline, and any compliance or packaging requirements. These details help us review feasibility, estimate costs, and confirm a practical sampling route before development begins.
- Product category & target market
- Material preference & plating color references
- Reference links/images or physical samples
- Expected order quantity & launch timing

Sample-to-Production Alignment
A good jewelry sample should not be a one-off piece. It should become the production reference for your bulk order. During sampling, we confirm key specifications early so the approved sample can be repeated consistently in mass production.
BOM & Material Specs Confirmed
Core materials, plating method, stone use, logo details, and packaging scope are confirmed before production starts.
Tolerance Notes Recorded
Key color, finish, size, weight, and assembly tolerances are documented to reduce variation between sample approval and bulk production.
QC Checkpoints Defined
AQL-based inspection points and critical quality expectations are aligned in advance so quality decisions are not left to interpretation.
Production Reference Preserved
Approved samples, spec notes, and revision records are kept as production references to support consistency across repeat orders.
The goal is simple: the sample you approve should match the bulk production you receive.
Sample Shipping & Duties
Jewelry samples are shipped by DHL, FedEx, UPS, or your appointed forwarder. Shipping costs are typically paid by the buyer unless otherwise agreed. After dispatch, we share tracking details and provide standard commercial documents to support customs clearance, duty assessment, and internal receiving procedures.
