Industry overview

Wholesale

A significant percentage of Turkey’s gold jewellery suppliers primarily operate as wholesalers. This is in contrast to gold jewellery manufacturers in China and Europe, which tend to primarily make jewellery based on their customers’ designs. This is not necessarily negative, as Turkish wholesalers in this industry tend to have catalogues consisting of hundreds of different designs.

Turkish jewellery design also tends to have a certain old-world elegance that is not truly replicated anywhere else. In short, if you want a large selection of wholesale gold jewellery, you should consider suppliers in Turkey.

Buying wholesale products also results in faster lead times and virtually no product development costs.

Custom products

That being said, many gold jewellery manufacturers in Turkey produce pieces according to buyer designs. Doing so, however, can result in higher MOQ requirements. This also means that you must pay for tooling, which can add up considering that moulds can cost somewhere between 500 to 1000 EUR per piece.

Product compliance

Jewellery products are subject to regulations in the EU, US, UK, and many other markets. Materials containing excessive amounts of lead, nickel, cadmium, mercury, or other heavy metals cannot legally be sold. It is therefore essential that the supplier is not only aware of these substance restrictions, but can also provide evidence of compliance consisting of lab test reports.
