If you are looking to source wholesale 925 sterling silver jewelry from Indonesia and want to know the minimum order quantity before committing to anything, this page answers that question directly.
What Is the MOQ?
At Artistica Jewelry, the minimum order quantity is 15 pieces per design. That applies to both catalogue designs and custom designs you bring to us.
You are not locked into a minimum total order value — just 15 pieces per individual design. So if you want three designs, that is 45 pieces total (3 × 15). If you want one design to test, that is 15 pieces.
Why 15 Pieces?
15 is the practical minimum for handmade production. Below that threshold, the setup time — preparing tools, sourcing materials, calibrating stone settings — does not make economic sense for a single design. 15 pieces allows us to produce efficiently and pass that efficiency on in the price.
For cast (mold-based) production the minimum is higher: 25 to 50 pieces per design, depending on complexity. Casting requires mold creation, which adds upfront cost that only makes sense over a larger run.
How Do Sample Orders Work?
Most new buyers start with a sample order: typically 15 to 30 pieces across one or two designs. The purpose is to verify quality, fit, and finish before committing to larger quantities.
Sample orders are treated identically to full production orders — same materials, same craftspeople, same quality control. We do not make special "sample quality" pieces. What you receive in the sample is exactly what you will receive in every subsequent order.
In most markets, small shipments arrive duty-free under the de minimis threshold. In the USA that threshold is $800 (so a sample order of 15 pieces typically clears without import duty). In Australia it is AUD 1,000, and in the EU it is EUR 150.
What Happens After the First Order?
After an approved sample order, most buyers move to regular quarterly or seasonal orders, typically 50 to 200 pieces per design across a range of styles. Volume pricing tiers apply as quantities increase — we quote this per project based on the specific designs and quantities.
There is no requirement to increase volume over time. Some boutique buyers consistently order 15 to 30 pieces per design because they want variety and prefer not to overstock. That is completely fine.
Does MOQ Change for Custom Designs?
No. The MOQ for custom designs is also 15 pieces for handmade production. If your custom design requires casting (which we determine at the design review stage), the minimum goes up to 25 to 50 pieces.
For custom orders, production begins after 3D design approval and receipt of the deposit. The standard production timeline is approximately four weeks from confirmation.
Pricing at Different Quantities
We do not publish a public price list because pricing depends on metal weight, complexity, stone type, and quantity. What we can say:
- 15 pieces: standard price per piece
- 30 to 50 pieces: modest volume discount
- 100+ pieces: significant reduction in per-piece cost
- 500+ pieces: best pricing, quoted individually
