Custom Order of 3000 Rhodium-Plated Silver Heart Pendant Necklaces for Thai Client at JINGYING Company

Introduction

In the competitive jewelry manufacturing industry, custom orders play a crucial role in meeting diverse client demands. JINGYING Company, a renowned jewelry manufacturer, recently received an order from a Thai client for 3000 rhodium-plated silver heart pendant necklaces. This project highlights the company’s expertise in crafting high-quality customized jewelry while adhering to international standards.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the entire process, from design consultation and material selection to production, quality control, and final delivery. It also explores the significance of rhodium plating, the preferences of Thai jewelry consumers, and the logistical considerations for international shipments.

1. Understanding the Client’s Requirements

1.1 Initial Consultation and Design Preferences

The Thai client approached JINGYING Company with a request for 3000 heart-shaped pendant necklaces intended for a retail collection. Key specifications included:

• Material: Sterling silver (925 silver) with rhodium plating
• Pendant Design: Elegant heart shape (dimensions: 12mm x 12mm)
• Chain Type: Figaro or cable chain (16-18 inches, adjustable)
• Finish: High-polish rhodium plating for enhanced durability and shine
• Packaging: Individual velvet pouches + branded gift boxes

1.2 Cultural and Market Considerations

Thailand has a thriving jewelry market, with consumers favoring elegant, symbolic designs. Heart-shaped jewelry is particularly popular for romantic, gift-oriented purchases. Additionally, Thai buyers prioritize:

• Hypoallergenic properties (rhodium plating prevents tarnishing and skin irritation)
• Affordable luxury (silver offers a premium look at a reasonable price)
• Custom branding options (engraving or logo incorporation)

2. Material Selection and Rhodium Plating Benefits

2.1 Sterling Silver (925 Silver) as the Base Metal

• Composition: 92.5% pure silver + 7.5% alloy (usually copper) for durability
• Advantages:
  • Excellent malleability for intricate designs
  • Naturally anti-tarnish properties (compared to pure silver)
  • Cost-effective for bulk orders

2.2 Rhodium Plating: Enhancing Durability and Aesthetics

• What is Rhodium? A rare, platinum-group metal known for its extreme hardness and brilliant white luster.
• Benefits of Rhodium Plating:
  • Scratch resistance – Extends product lifespan
  • Hypoallergenic – Ideal for sensitive skin
  • Tarnish-proof – Maintains shine longer than standard silver
  • Luxurious mirror-like finish – Enhances visual appeal

3. Production Process at JINGYING Company

3.1 CAD Design and Prototyping

• Step 1: Digital 3D modeling of the heart pendant using CAD software
• Step 2: Client approval of the prototype (adjustments if needed)
• Step 3: Finalizing mold designs for mass production

3.2 Casting and Polishing

• Silver Casting: Wax molds are used to create the pendants via lost-wax casting.
• Hand-Polishing: Each piece is manually polished to ensure a smooth surface before plating.

3.3 Rhodium Electroplating Process

1. Cleaning: Ultrasonic cleaning to remove impurities.
2. Electroplating: Dipping in a rhodium solution with an electric current for an even coating (0.5-1 micron thickness).
3. Final Inspection: Checking for uniform plating coverage.

3.4 Chain Manufacturing and Assembly

• Chain Type: Figaro chains selected for durability and elegance.
• Clasp: Lobster clasp for secure fastening.
• Assembly: Pendants are carefully soldered onto chains.

4. Quality Control and Testing

To ensure the 3000 necklaces meet international standards, JINGYING implemented:

• Dimensional Accuracy Checks (using calipers)
• Rhodium Adhesion Test (tape test to prevent peeling)
• Skin Sensitivity Test (nickel-free certification)
• Weight and Fineness Verification (XRF testing for silver purity)

5. Packaging and Logistics for International Shipping

5.1 Custom Packaging Solutions

• Individual Packaging: Velvet pouches + branded gift boxes
• Bulk Shipping: Sturdy carton boxes with anti-tarnish strips

5.2 Export Documentation & Compliance

• Certificate of Origin (for Thai customs clearance)
• Material Assay Report (proving 925 silver content)
• Rhodium Plating Certification (ensuring non-toxic coating)

5.3 Shipping Method & Delivery Timeline

• Sea Freight (for cost efficiency) – 15-20 days to Thailand
• Insurance Coverage – Protection against damage/loss
