Jewelry Manufacturing in Thailand

HonHo works with its Thailand and Dongguan facilities on jewelry projects for brands and wholesalers. Tell us your material, construction and delivery requirements so we can confirm where each production step will take place.

What to confirm before choosing a factory

A useful supplier discussion covers the production location, materials, sample, quotation and inspection plan.

Bring these questions to your first project discussion:

What sample and specification will guide production?

What quantity and development costs does the design require?

Who will coordinate approvals and changes?

Where will the agreed production steps take place?

Which sourcing and test documents does the order need?

We review these details with you before development begins. The quotation and approved sample give both teams a clear basis for the order.

How we work with your team

HonHo was founded in Dongguan in 2017. Our Thailand manufacturing work is coordinated around the project, with responsibilities and production steps confirmed in advance.

Materials and product testing

Confirm the metal for each component and the tests needed for your destination. 316L steel is not automatically nickel-free or suitable for every wearer.

Finishing matched to the metal

Discuss PVD for stainless steel and electroplating for brass or silver. Color, layers and relevant tests should be agreed on the sample.

A workable starting quantity

Our standard starting point is 100 pieces per design and color. Tooling and components can affect the minimum; selected designs may support smaller pilot orders.

A clear quotation

Separate tooling, samples, unit production, testing, packaging and freight so the total can be reviewed before ordering.

A reference for production

Keep the approved sample and written specification together. Confirm inspection criteria and any changes before the order moves forward.

Design and tooling terms

Agree confidentiality, permitted file use, design ownership and tooling ownership in writing before development.

Services for your collection

From drawing review to packing, the scope depends on what your design needs. We confirm the work and location for your project before production.

Custom Design & CAD / 3D Modeling

Turn your sketches, mood boards, or reference pieces into professional CAD files and 3D models.

Prototyping & Sampling

Produce physical samples to test fit, comfort, and visual impact before committing to large orders.

Forming and production

Casting, machining or fabrication is chosen around the metal and construction.

Stones and settings

Confirm the stone material, dimensions and setting method during development.

Finishing, Plating & Polishing

High-quality polishing, rhodium plating, gold plating, and special finishes to match your brand’s look.

Quality Inspection & Certification Support

Multi-step inspections and support with third-party testing or certifications where required.

Branding, Packaging & Labeling

Branded tags, logo stamps, and packaging solutions for direct-to-consumer and retail-ready products.

Long-Term Support

Dedicated account managers, reorder assistance, and technical support to help you scale new collections smoothly and solve any production issues quickly.

Global Logistics & Shipping

Coordination of international shipping, paperwork, and labeling for smooth import into your country.

A production route for the design

The steps below describe a typical cast-jewelry route. Stainless steel, chain and fabricated designs may require different tooling and processes.

Step 1: Design & 3D CAD Modeling

We review the dimensions, wall thickness, settings and finish, then prepare the agreed CAD views for approval. Keep feedback against a clearly identified drawing version.

Step 2: 3D Printing & Master Mold Creation

For cast designs, a printed pattern or master can guide mould development. Other constructions may need different tooling, which is confirmed in the quotation.

Step 3: Wax Injection & Tree Assembly

Wax patterns are inspected and assembled for casting where this route is appropriate. Pattern quality and feed locations affect the result.

Step 4: Lost-Wax Casting (Pouring the Metal)

The prepared mould is used to form the cast part in the agreed alloy. The investment, equipment and process need to suit the metal; silver, brass and steel do not all use an identical route.

Step 5: Sprue Grinding & Filing

Parts are separated, casting marks removed and rough edges prepared for finishing. Visible defects are checked before the piece moves on.

Step 6: Stone Setting (If Applicable)

The setting method follows the stone and design. Review alignment and security on the sample, and confirm when setting takes place relative to plating.

Step 7: Hand Polishing & Ultrasonic Cleaning

Polishing develops the agreed surface texture. Cleaning removes process residues using a method compatible with the metal, stones and components.

Step 8: Plating & Final QC

Apply the agreed coating and compare the finished piece with the approved sample. Inspect dimensions, settings, closures and packing, with additional tests as specified for the order.

Plan the quantity and quotation

A focused range can make a first order easier to manage. Confirm quantity per design and color, and separate tooling or development charges from the unit price.

A first collection

Start with a focused set of designs. Our standard starting point is 100 pieces per design and color, with smaller pilot quantities discussed where practical.

Compare the specification

Material, weight, setting and coating affect cost. Compare quotations using the same requirements.

Repeat and larger orders

Confirm component availability, the approved reference and production capacity around your expected order schedule.

What the quote includes

Record the product specification, tooling, samples, testing, packing and shipping terms, including any exclusions.

Inspection against an agreed reference

Record the dimensions, materials, color and finish before production. Use the approved sample and specification to define what will be checked.

Material authenticity and alloy composition

Identify the alloy or steel grade for the relevant components. Agree material documents and any finished-product tests needed for the destination market.

Weight and dimensional accuracy

Check the dimensions and weight against the drawing and approved sample. Agree tolerances for the features that matter to the fit and function.

Surface finish, polishing, and plating thickness

Compare surface texture and color with the approved reference. Agree coating measurement methods and locations where thickness is part of the specification.

Stone alignment, security, and setting quality

Inspect stone alignment, spacing and setting security. The method and acceptance criteria should suit the stone and construction.

Soldering and structural strength

Check the relevant joints and connections. Agree any strength test and acceptance limit before production rather than assuming one standard fits every design.

Logo stamps, hallmarks, and branding details

Check logo placement, size and legibility against the artwork. Material marks and other labeling must match the product and its destination requirements.

Earring Post & Mechanism Testing

Check posts, hinges and closures for fit and operation. Repeated-use or strength tests can be specified for the order.

Corrosion and wear checks

Choose tests around the material and intended use. A laboratory exposure assesses a specified condition; it does not establish an exact number of years of wear.

Packaging integrity for shipping

Check individual protection, quantities and labels against the packing instructions. Confirm the freight route, destination and shipping terms before dispatch.

our services
