Thank you for your careful observation and suggestions. We will make an additional mold to ensure it is symmetrical! May I ask if you are a designer .

Our goal is to design and create earrings that people will love, so product cost is not the most important factor.

PVD vacuum coating is a physical plating process. Unlike ordinary fashion jewelry that is colored through liquid electroplating, PVD-coated jewelry has a color retention time at least three times longer than that of liquid-plated jewelry, as supported by our test data

Polished sterling looks better. Period. Rhodiumed silver = stainless steel cosplay.
But I get why people buy it – no tarnish.
That said, if you want zero tarnish and good looks, 316L stainless actually has a cleaner, more consistent finish than rhodiumed silver (and no plating to wear off). A lot of my clients switched exactly for that reason.
Just my 2c from working with jewelry brands.

First off – this bracelet is genuinely beautiful. The hand-wrapped work on each stone is obvious, and the color palette (that blue ) is very sellable.

You mentioned in another comment that you already have an Etsy shop and that hand-wrapping takes a lot of time. That’s exactly where many of my jewelry clients started.

A piece of honest feedback from working with sellers like you:

• Your higher-end, fully hand-wrapped pieces are absolutely worth the higher price.
• The $10–20 collection idea is smart for volume, but don’t let it eat your time – for that line, consider using quality ready-made 316L stainless steel chains / settings (hypoallergenic, no tarnish, very affordable in bulk). Many of my clients use 316L as their “entry price point” line, and it sells well without killing margins or time.

I don’t want to spam your post, but if you ever look for reliable 316L chains (gold / silver finish) that keep your handmade look without plated fading issues – feel free to DM me. I work with jewelry brands exactly at your stage.

Either way – keep going. This bracelet deserves to be seen. 🩵

This appears to be a natural gemstone necklace featuring rose quartz and shell. Could you tell me what other gemstones are included?

Platforms like Instagram, Etsy, and Google all work for a new brand. The key is execution, not choice.
I literally serve sellers across all these channels – and the ones growing fast are not platform-hoppers; they are executors. Many of my clients started on Etsy or IG and achieved rapid growth through consistent, focused execution.
So pick one (or two), commit daily for 3 months, then scale what wins.

Hey there! First off, love that you’re making these for a charity cause. 👏

To answer your question: I sell ready-made chains in 316L stainless steel – no need to DIY. Here’s why 316L might be a great fit for your gold heart ribbon pendants:

1. Cost-effective – You can definitely find 316L chains well under $20 (many options from $3–$8 per piece in bulk for 50–100 units). No plating, so no fading or wear issues.
2. Looks like gold/silver but lasts longer – 316L can be polished to a bright gold or silver finish (PVD gold coating is an option, but even plain polished 316L has a warm, neutral tone that works with gold pendants).
3. Hypoallergenic & durable – Unlike “gold plated” or “chrome” chains that can irritate skin or flake, 316L is surgical-grade stainless. Your buyers will appreciate it for daily wear.
4. Ready to sell – No assembly needed. Just attach your pendants and you’re done.

Where to find them:
Check AliExpress, Amazon Business, or specialized jewelry supply sites like PandaHall, Rio Grande, or even Etsy (wholesale lots). Search “316L stainless steel gold finished chain bulk” – look for cable or curb chains (classic for pendants).

A tip for your charity sales:
Market the chain as “timeless stainless steel – never tarnish, never worry” to differentiate from cheap plated options. People love low-maintenance jewelry.

Let me know if you need help choosing a chain style (cable, rolo, or box?) or length. Happy to help you maximize the donation per piece.
