Moissanite Rings at a Glance
Understanding production lead times for moissanite rings including solitaires, halos, three stone, vintage and wedding bands is essential for inventory planning, seasonal launches, and reorder timing. This article breaks down the lead time schedule for stock silver pieces, made to order silver, 10K, 14K and 18K gold pieces, private label, and custom design projects produced by HOLYCOME. This guide covers MOQ, EXW pricing, lead times, quality standards, certification, QC, and ordering from HOLYCOME.
Lead Time Breakdown by Stage
Production for moissanite rings breaks into six stages: raw material pull (stone inventory or fresh cut to order, 1 to 4 days), color matching across the order (1 day), wax carving and casting (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). Each stage can add a day or two during peak season, which is why the top end of every quoted range is slightly longer.
MOQ and Opening Order
Standard MOQ for moissanite rings 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.

All EXW Wuzhou prices are for D-E VVS1 excellent cut moissanite in rhodium plated 925 sterling silver unless otherwise stated. 10K, 14K and 18K solid gold quotes are available on request.
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 rings 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.
Quality Control Process
Every piece of moissanite rings passes seven QC stations before packaging: incoming stone inspection, 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 final 10 percent AQL sampling to ISO 2859-1 standards. Stones that fail polish or alignment are recut or replaced before packing.
Two separate inspectors review each order: the first checks every piece against the approved sample or CAD drawing, and the second performs a random spot check on at least 20 percent of the pieces. Any piece that fails is pulled back for rework, and pieces that cannot be reworked are replaced from the safety stock of the same production batch.

Replaced pieces ship with the next order or via DHL at our cost depending on defect volume. Customer damage, resizing done by third parties, and chain breakage from improper use are not covered under the manufacturing warranty.

Private label at 50 pieces per SKU and above includes foil stamped logo boxes from $0.85 to $1.50 per box depending on style, laser engraving, branded insert cards, polishing cloths, certificate holders (where applicable), and care booklets in multiple languages.

Seasonal Planning and Peak Season Strategy
Every moissanite rings 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 rings 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 rings 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 rings 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.
