How Sourcify Supports Your Jewelry & Accessories Sourcing

Jewelry and accessories sourcing requires precision, process, and partners you can trust. We act as your behind-the-scenes sourcing team—protecting quality, consistency, and timelines at every stage.

Here’s how we support you:

  • Vetted Jewelry Factories
    We connect you with proven suppliers that demonstrate strong capabilities in casting, plating, stone setting, and finishing—no guesswork, no shortcuts.

  • Material & Compliance Guidance
    Support across REACH, Prop 65, nickel-release testing, and plating documentation, so compliance issues don’t surface after production.

  • Quality Control & Consistency Checks
    We review plating thickness, finish quality, stone-setting stability, and hardware durability to prevent returns and customer complaints.

  • Multi-Material Expertise
    From metals and stones to resin, silicone, leather, and textile accessories—we help you source confidently across mixed-material product lines.

  • End-to-End Production Support
    We manage development, sampling, revisions, production, and issue resolution—even when multiple factories are involved.

If you want jewelry and accessories produced right the first time, Sourcify becomes the calm, experienced layer between your brand and your manufacturers.

Fragrance Is a Packaging Business (Not a Formula Business)

Most founders assume fragrance costs live in the formula. They don’t.

Modern fragrance production happens in three distinct layers:

1. The Scent Formula

Most fragrances today are 70–90% synthetic, created by major fragrance houses that control molecules, compliance, and performance testing. Development fees can run $10k–$100k+, and concentrate MOQs often start at 20–50kg.

2. Contract Manufacturing

Fillers blend the concentrate with alcohol, fill bottles, label, and assemble units. MOQs typically range from 1,000–10,000+ units, with fill costs between $2–$8 per unit depending on complexity.

3. Packaging (The Real Cost Center)

Packaging regularly accounts for 40–60% of total BOM:

  1. Custom glass molds: $10k–$60k upfront

  2. Atomizers and caps: often controlled by a few global suppliers

  3. Lead times: 12–24 weeks is common

This is where timelines slip and budgets blow up — especially for first-time founders.

Understanding this upfront allows brands to design smarter launches, not panic-react to delays.
