Buyer-first approach: Confirm current pricing, stock, documentation and shipping directly with each supplier. This publication has not independently tested merchant products.

Incoming checks

Compare every shipment to approved samples, order quantities, dimensions and agreed finishes.

Functional tests

Test clasps, earring backs, stone security and visible defects using a consistent inspection method.

Keep a written record of supplier responses and compare the same product specifications across quotes. For high-value orders, sample approval and an agreed defect-resolution process are more useful than broad marketing promises.

Documentation

Photograph discrepancies, keep SKU-level records and document any agreed tolerances.

Supplier resolution

Agree in advance on credits, replacement shipments and response times for defective goods.
