How long does custom jewelry production take?
For custom 18K gold plated jewelry, samples take 7–10 days and bulk takes 15–25 days after sample approval. Plan for 22–35 days from PO to ship-ready.
Production Timeline at a Glance
| Phase | Lead Time | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Sample making | 7–10 days | 3D model, prototype, plating trial, approval photos |
| Bulk production | 15–25 days | Casting, stone setting, plating, polishing after sign-off |
| QC & packing | 2–4 days | Final inspection, OPP bag packing, carton ready for pickup |
| Total (PO to ship-ready) | 22–35 days | Excludes freight transit time to your destination |
What Affects the Lead Time
Design Complexity
Simple shapes move on the fast end. Intricate settings or unique finishes add 5–10 days to bulk.
Order Quantity
Orders near 120 pieces per design run on the standard schedule. Volumes above 1,000 pieces may extend bulk by 5–7 days.
Plating Specification
Standard 18K plating uses shared production lines. Special thickness or color matches add plating trial days before bulk.
Production Calendar
Peak season (August to November) runs at full capacity. Lead time can extend by 5–10 days during these months.

Quick Answers About Lead Time
Can I skip the sample and go straight to bulk?
For new custom designs, a sample is required. For in-stock items, bulk can start within 3–5 days after order confirmation.
How will I know my order is on track?
You get photo updates at each milestone: sample ready, plating done, QC pass, packing complete. Tracked in your inquiry thread.
Does the timeline include shipping?
No. The 22–35 day window covers production only. Freight transit depends on your destination. Browse our product catalog for styles that fit your launch timeline.
Can you meet a deadline earlier than 22 days?
Lead time is built into the standard schedule. Share your deadline and we will confirm feasibility case by case.
