Handcrafted silver jewelry should be evaluated through an approved product standard, not through vague claims that handcrafted automatically means unique or higher quality. Buyers need measurable controls for material, assembly, finish and repeat production.
Confirm the silver specification
State 925 sterling silver where required and record requested marking, documentation or order-specific testing. A stamp alone is not the complete material-control process.
Define acceptable variation
Hand assembly may create small differences, but critical dimensions, function, pair matching and approved visual features still need tolerances or reference samples.
Inspect assembly and joints
Review soldering, connectors, posts, clasps and moving parts for alignment, finish and function. Check for unintended gaps, rough edges or visible residue.
Check CZ and pearl work
Truli’s current stone-set products use CZ unless pearl or synthetic opal is verified. Record the correct material and inspect setting, alignment, attachment and cleanliness.
Review polishing and texture
Polished areas should match the approved brightness without losing intended detail. Brushed, matte, hammered or other textures should remain consistent across the item and matched pairs.
Use a controlled sample
Measure dimensions and approved weight, test function and record corrections with item codes and marked images. Approve meaningful changes before production.
Keep repeat-order records
Store the approved sample, specification and inspection results by SKU. Record changes without replacing the earlier approved version.
