A useful starting point
Before comparing wholesale jewelry quotations, prepare the same brief for each supplier: exact style references, quantities, specifications, destination and required timing. Keep unconfirmed MOQ, sample, shipping and payment terms visibly separate from agreed terms.
Define the assortment before the order
Write down who the assortment is for and how it will be presented in your boutique. Separate earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings, then list the shapes and proportions you want to compare. Use your own customer knowledge rather than treating a broad search-volume estimate as a sales forecast.
Give each reference a clear label and record whether an image represents an existing supplier item or only a mood. A concept image cannot confirm that a supplier makes the design, owns the rights or can deliver the specification.
Ask the same questions for each reference
A consistent comparison table helps expose unanswered questions. Keep requested requirements separate from supplier-confirmed details. If a supplier proposes a substitute, record it as a new option instead of quietly replacing the original specification.
| Area | What to record |
|---|---|
| Identity | Supplier reference, style, variant and included pieces |
| Materials | Base material, coating and component differences |
| Dimensions | Length, diameter, width, weight and measurement method |
| Quantity | Per-style and per-variant quantities; MOQ still to confirm |
| Samples | Cost, lead time, evaluation criteria and approval record |
| Commercial terms | Currency, quote validity, packaging, transport, taxes and payment terms |
Decide what a sample needs to answer
Before requesting a sample, write the questions it should resolve: dimensions, closure operation, colour consistency, presentation or the completeness of the material documentation. Agree how differences will be recorded and which sample version the quotation refers to.
A visual inspection does not establish chemical composition, regulatory compliance or long-term wear. If a test is required for the destination or your own claims, define its scope and arrange appropriate evidence. Do not turn a sample photograph into an unsupported certification claim.
Compare total terms, not only unit price
Record what is included and excluded in each quotation. Separate the price of the goods from sample charges, packaging, transport and any destination charges that still need confirmation. A lower unit price is not a complete cost comparison.
Confirm how quantities are distributed across styles and variants, what happens if an item is unavailable, and which dates are estimates rather than commitments. Write down the approval and payment steps before treating the brief as an order.
Prepare your OVE brief
You can use the checklist below or the OVE enquiry-draft form to organise references, quantities and destination details. Save a copy for your own review and check that private information is appropriate for the device you are using.
OVE’s collection, MOQ, prices, samples, manufacturing capabilities and lead times are not yet confirmed. The form can save or download a draft locally, or prepare a message to review and send in WhatsApp. You must press Send there; opening the chat does not confirm receipt, reserve stock or create an order. The checklist is a planning aid, not a supplier quotation.
A little more clarity
Your questions, considered.
What is OVE’s minimum order quantity?
It has not yet been confirmed. Record your intended quantities in a draft; do not treat them as an accepted MOQ or supply commitment.
Does downloading a brief send it to OVE?
No. The file is created on your device. To contact OVE, use the WhatsApp option, review the message and press Send in WhatsApp.
