First-sample timing

A physical samplewithin a clear schedule

Your first sample can be available within 7 days after you confirm the design direction and sampling brief. We confirm the project-specific date before work begins.

When we start

The confirmed lead time starts after you approve the design direction and sampling brief.

If the date changes

Complexity, material readiness and requested revisions can affect the date. We confirm any change with you.

Shipping is separate

Shipping cost and transit time are not part of the first-sample timing. We confirm both separately for your destination.

Check size and comfort

Check the size, weight, fit and comfort in hand or when worn.

Test every working part

Open and close every clasp, joint, hinge or other moving part.

Compare stone placement, plating color, surface finish and logo position with your approved direction.

03 / REVIEW

Review and approve

You approve the sample or send us one consolidated change list. The accepted sample becomes the reference for the next agreed stage.

Cost, changes & timing

Know the scopebefore we begin

Before work begins, we confirm the sample scope, quoted fee, revision terms, target date and shipping responsibility with you.

01 / SAMPLE FEE

How is the sample fee confirmed?

We quote the sample against your confirmed brief and state what is included before work begins. There is no single fee for every design.

02 / REVISIONS

What if you request changes?

Send us one consolidated change list. Before another sample is made, we confirm whether the change affects the fee or date.

03 / DELIVERY

Does the seven-day timing include shipping?

No. It applies to the first physical sample after you confirm the design direction and sampling brief. We confirm shipping cost and transit time separately.

04 / PRODUCTION

Does sample approval start bulk production?

No. Your approved sample becomes the production reference. We confirm order quantity, unit price and delivery terms with you before releasing the bulk order.
