For Indian necklace sets wholesale, find a necklace manufacturer in India that makes your style in volume, and agree exactly what the set contains. A necklace set normally means a necklace plus matching earrings, though some include a tikka or bracelet. Rajkot has the widest choice of makers.
Different styles need different skills, from cast antique-gold sets to stone-heavy American diamond designs. Types of necklace sets made in Rajkot gives an overview.
What a set should contain
Sets vary, so put the composition in writing. State the number of pieces, the style of each and whether the earrings are studs, jhumkas or drops. Confirm that the necklace has an adjustable cord or chain so that it fits more necks.
A specification sheet helps. Use the layout in a necklace set specification template so that two makers quote the same thing.
Weight, length and fit
Weight affects both comfort and the perception of quality. Typical necklace set weight ranges explain how heavy sets usually are. Ask for the weight of each design in grams, and weigh sample sets on arrival.
Length depends on market. Chokers, princess lengths and long rani haar styles sell in different countries. Ask the maker to quote lengths including the extender or cord, and check against your market's norms.
What to confirm in a quote
Quotes from necklace makers are only comparable if they share these details:
- The base metal and plating type, and any protective coating.
- The stone type, size and setting method.
- The weight of each piece in the set.
- The minimum quantity per design and per colour.
- The packing method for each set.
- The lead time from sample approval to dispatch.
Common problems
The usual faults are colour mismatch between necklace and earrings, loose stones at the clasp end, weak clasps and kinked chains. Check all of these on every approved sample and again on a carton picked at random.
A set that fails a metal-limit test can be pulled from sale. Ask for test reports for the finished design, as described in reading a lab certificate.
How do you compare quotes from two makers?
Make sure both are quoting the same thing. Differences in the number of stones, plating thickness or weight can explain a lower quote, and a lower quote that cuts these is not a bargain. Put the specification sheet next to each quote and check every line.
Next, compare sampling quality, not just the final number. A sample that arrives quickly and matches your drawing is evidence of a well-run workshop. Ask each maker the same questions about test reports, lead time and packing, and keep a note of how fast and how clearly they answer.

Finally, ask each maker how they handle reorders. A necklace set that sold well should come back in the same plating colour and weight, so request that the approved sample and its specification are kept on file at the workshop.
