Crafting Identity: A Portuguese Client’s Custom Yellow-Green Dots Bracelet Journey with JINGYING

Въведение

Custom jewelry manufacturing is no longer limited to luxury brands; it’s become an essential strategy for independent designers and boutique labels around the world to express brand identity and cultural relevance. One standout example is a recent collaboration between a contemporary Portuguese jewelry brand and Джинканг, a large-scale custom jewelry manufacturer based in China. This partnership produced a vibrant, fashion-forward piece—the Yellow-Green Dots Bracelet, a striking accessory designed for the European spring/summer market.

This article dives deep into the creative and technical process behind this piece—from concept development, material sourcing, and design iterations, to mass production, логистика, and the final product launch.
