China is the world’s largest base for custom brass jewelry manufacturing, but finding the right partner takes a clear process. The best results come from factories that own their casting, plating, and QC rather than brokers who outsource every step.
Define Your Specs Before You Negotiate
Share drawings, target plating thickness, nickel-release limits, and expected order volume up front. A serious manufacturer will respond with a DFM (design for manufacturing) review instead of a single flat quote.
Verify Plating and Compliance
Request plating thickness reports and heavy-metal test results (lead, cadmium, nickel release). For EU and US markets these documents are not optional—they protect your brand from recalls and customs holds.
