1. Кіріспе

Starting a jewelry brand is an exciting venture, but customizing brass or silver jewelry requires careful planning. New brands must understand material properties, manufacturing processes, costs, and market trends before placing their first order.

This guide covers everything a new brand needs to know before working with a manufacturer like Джингинг to create custom brass or sterling silver jewelry.

2. Understanding Jewelry Materials: Жез vs. Күміс

А. Brass Jewelry

  • Composition: Alloy of мыс (60-80%) + zinc (20-40%)

  • Pros:

    • Affordable alternative to gold

    • Durable & malleable for intricate designs

    • Can be plated with gold, Раушан алтыны, or silver

  • Cons:

    • May tarnish over time (requires proper plating)

    • Some people have metal allergies (nickel content)

B. Күміс құйындысы (925 Күміс) Зергерлік заттар

  • Composition: 92.5% таза күміс + 7.5% мыс (for durability)

  • Pros:

    • Сыйақы, high-end appearance

    • Гипоаллергенді (safe for sensitive skin)

    • Retains value better than brass

  • Cons:

    • More expensive than brass

    • Requires rhodium plating to prevent tarnishing
