Moissanite Earrings at a Glance
Quality control is the single biggest risk factor in a moissanite earrings wholesale program because defects discovered after a piece reaches an end customer damage brand reputation and drive returns. This checklist walks buyers through the QC stations that HOLYCOME runs on every order and explains what receiving inspection should cover on the buyer side. This guide covers MOQ, EXW pricing, lead times, quality standards, certification, QC, and ordering from HOLYCOME.
In Factory QC Stations
Every piece of moissanite earrings passes seven QC stations before packaging: incoming stone inspection for cut, color and clarity; post casting XRF metal verification; post setting stone security probe at 20 grams per prong; post polish finish inspection under 10x magnification; functional testing for clasps, hinges and bails; stone alignment and symmetry check; and a final 10 percent AQL sampling to ISO 2859-1 standards before any carton leaves the shipping room.
MOQ and Opening Order
Standard MOQ for moissanite earrings is 10 pieces per SKU in 925 sterling silver and 5 pieces per SKU in 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold. Mixed style trial orders are accepted for new partners at the opening tier to allow assortment testing without over committing inventory. Custom cut, custom shape, or private label orders typically require 30 to 50 pieces per SKU depending on tooling investment and the complexity of the design.
Sample orders are available for every SKU in the catalog. Sample pricing is two to three times the unit EXW price for production pieces, with the sample cost credited against a subsequent bulk order placed within 60 days of sample delivery. Paid samples are produced in 5 to 7 business days and shipped via DHL or FedEx express.

Lead Time Breakdown
Lead time for moissanite earrings breaks into six stages: raw material pull (1 to 4 days), color matching across the order (1 day), wax carving and casting for finished jewelry (1 to 3 days for silver, 2 to 5 days for gold), setting, polishing and plating (2 to 5 days), QC and certificate insertion (1 day), and packing and handover to DHL or FedEx (1 day). Stock silver solitaires and studs ship in 7 to 10 days; made to order silver halos and more complex pieces in 10 to 14 days; gold pieces in 15 to 25 days depending on karat.
Peak season (October through February) adds 2 to 5 days across the board because casting and setting queues fill up quickly. Buyers planning holiday or Valentine's Day launches should place orders by late September to lock in standard lead times without paying rush production premiums.
Stone Quality and Certification
Standard production uses D-E color, VVS1 clarity, excellent cut GRA certified moissanite, color matched to within one grade across every piece in an order. Certificate numbers are laser inscribed on stone girdles at 0.30 ct and above. The FTC Jewelry Guides require clear disclosure that moissanite is a laboratory created gemstone in US retail, and HOLYCOME provides disclosure cards with every order.
Color matching is especially critical for stud earring pairs, three stone rings, eternity bands and tennis bracelets, where any visible mismatch reads as a quality defect to the end customer. Stones are matched under daylight equivalent 5500K lighting at the QC station before setting.
Metal Compliance
All 925 sterling silver used in moissanite earrings is rhodium plated 1.0 to 1.5 microns, nickel safe to EU REACH regulation EN 1811 (under 0.5 ug/cm2/week nickel release), and lead safe to US CPSIA (under 100 ppm). All 10K, 14K and 18K gold pieces are XRF tested per casting batch; XRF reports are available on request and confirm the exact gold composition.
Solid gold pieces are available in white gold, yellow gold and rose gold. Rhodium plating is standard on white gold pieces but can be omitted on request for buyers who prefer the natural soft white color of white gold without plating.

Order Process From Sample to Bulk Shipment
Every moissanite earrings order ships via trusted international carriers, with DHL, FedEx and UPS as the default options for express delivery, and door to door lead times between 5 and 9 business days depending on the destination. Orders above $2,000 USD automatically qualify for free express shipping, while smaller sample shipments incur a flat shipping fee quoted at checkout based on weight and destination country. Packaging follows standard export protocols, with each piece sealed in an individual jewelry pouch, wrapped in anti tarnish tissue, placed into a padded jewelry box, and packed into a corrugated export carton with foam protection. Each outer carton is clearly labeled with SKU, quantity, weight, country of origin and any special handling markings. Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list and, when requested, a certificate of origin. HOLYCOME customers also receive a digital packing slip by email the same day the shipment leaves the facility.
After sales support is built into every moissanite earrings shipment. If a receiving inspection identifies a quality issue, HOLYCOME asks the buyer to photograph the affected pieces and email the images within 7 business days of delivery, and the quality team responds with a resolution plan within two working days. Common resolutions include replacement pieces shipped free of charge on the next production run, a credit note applicable to future orders, or a partial refund proportionate to the defect rate. Polishing, replating and minor stone retightening are covered under the standard 12 month workmanship warranty, which applies to production pieces that have been handled and stored under normal retail conditions.
Final inspection on every batch of moissanite earrings follows a documented 12 point checklist that covers stone size, stone color, stone clarity grade, stone alignment, stone security including prong tightness and bezel coverage, metal finish, plating thickness, solder joints, stamp quality, chain clasp function, overall symmetry and packaging completeness. Inspection records are kept on file for a minimum of two years, tied to the production batch number, so that if a customer reports an issue months later the factory can trace exactly which operator and inspector handled the piece.
The order process from sample to bulk shipment for moissanite earrings is intentionally transparent. After the initial inquiry, account managers respond within 12 business hours with a written quotation in USD that lists unit price, tooling cost if any, MOQ, estimated production lead time and shipping terms. Buyers can request paid samples, which are typically produced within 5 to 7 business days and shipped via express, so that they can validate stone color, metal weight, finish and fit before committing to a bulk order. Once the sample is approved, the buyer confirms bulk quantity, desired sizes, metal options, engraving or logo requirements, and shipping address, and HOLYCOME issues a formal proforma invoice.
