Why Zhefan Stands Out: Scale, Craftsmanship, and Compliance

Manufacturing footprint and output capacity

Founded in 2002 with roots back to 1997, Guangzhou Zhefan Jewelry operates two factories in Guangzhou and Meizhou covering 800 m² with a team of 80+ skilled artisans and 20 sales professionals. Our combined production capacity supports a robust monthly output of around 600,000 pieces, allowing us to serve Amazon top sellers and major retailers with consistent volume and reliable lead times.

Design velocity and product innovation

Our professional design team launches over 500 new original styles each month. This rapid innovation cycle keeps private label partners ahead of trends in fashion jewelry, from lightweight plated hoops to statement chandelier brass earrings, enabling timely assortment refreshes for marketplaces and brick-and-mortar retailers.

Commitment to environmental and safety standards

Zhefan enforces RoHS/REACH-compliant materials and processes. Compliance with European chemical regulations ensures our brass alloys and plating processes are safe for consumers and meet regulatory expectations across major markets. See more about REACH at the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and RoHS overview (RoHS info).

Materials, Finishes and Technical Choices for Brass Earrings

Understanding brass as a jewelry material

Brass is an alloy primarily of copper and zinc. It is widely used in fashion jewelry because it is malleable, cost-effective, and takes plating well for gold or rose-gold tones. For technical reference on the alloy, see the general summary of brass on Wikipedia. Proper surface finishing and protective coatings are essential to prevent tarnish and skin discoloration over time.

Common finishes and plating options

Typical brass earring finishes include gold plating (flash or thick plating), vermeil-style heavy gold plating (over sterling silver or brass substrate), rhodium plating for a bright white finish, antique/oxidized treatments for vintage looks, and clear coatings for anti-tarnish protection. Zhefan offers custom plating thickness and PVD options for better wear resistance.

Hypoallergenic and nickel-free solutions

While brass itself may trigger sensitivities in some people, using nickel-free alloys and robust plating/coating systems (e.g., nickel-free gold plating with an inert top coat) reduces contact-allergen risk. For customers targeting sensitive-skin markets, we recommend specifying nickel-free brass or using a silver/stainless steel core with brass aesthetic elements.

Manufacturing Process & Quality Control for Wholesale Brass Earrings

From mold to finished earring: key production steps

Zhefan’s production workflow begins with master mold making (rooted in the founder’s expertise), rapid prototyping, stamping/casting, polishing, plating, assembly, and final inspection. We apply six rounds of precision polishing to ensure a flawless finish and six strict quality inspections to catch defects before packaging. These multiple stages reduce returns and increase on-shelf quality for retailers.

Quality standards and traceability

We adopt standardized quality control checklists and document batch-level material certificates where required. For companies that require quality system alignment, ISO 9001 principles are followed in our management practices (see ISO 9001).

Packaging, fulfillment and scalability

Private label packaging—branded cards, polybags, gift boxes, and bulk cartons—are available. Our monthly capacity and flexible production lines support both small-batch sampling and large-scale replenishments. Typical lead times depend on order size and finishing complexity; we provide tailored production plans to meet retailer seasonality.

Buying Guide: How to Source Wholesale Brass Earrings Effectively

Choosing the right supplier and MOQ considerations

When sourcing wholesale brass earrings, buyers evaluate sample quality, lead time, MOQ, price, and compliance documentation. Zhefan offers competitive MOQs and flexible OEM/ODM arrangements tailored for Amazon sellers, boutiques, and large retailers. Confirm sample approvals, plating thickness, and compliance test reports before committing to production runs.

Cost drivers and pricing transparency

Key cost drivers include raw material composition (brass grade), plating type and thickness, assembly complexity, labor for hand finishing, and packaging. For private label projects, consider amortizing mold or tooling costs across the first production run. Zhefan provides transparent quotations that break down unit price components so brands can model margins accurately.

Supply chain risk management

Supply reliability is critical. Maintain buffer stock for best-selling SKUs, diversify finish types across production runs, and leverage suppliers with multi-factory footprints—like Zhefan’s two-site setup—to mitigate localized disruption. For regulatory changes around restricted substances, monitor ECHA/REACH updates to stay compliant (ECHA).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are brass earrings safe for sensitive skin?

Brass can be safe when produced with nickel-free alloys and protected by high-quality plating and clear topcoats. For customers with severe sensitivities, we recommend specifying nickel-free brass or choosing stainless steel or 925 silver posts for direct skin contact.

2. What finishing options extend brass earring lifespan?

Heavier plating, rhodium or PVD coatings, and a clear lacquer anti-tarnish topcoat significantly increase wear life. Proper cleaning and consumer care instructions also help extend the finish life.

3. What compliance documents do you provide?

We provide material declarations and can supply test reports related to RoHS/REACH compliance on request. For US markets, we can assist with documentation relevant to CPSC guidance on restricted elements (CPSC).

4. Can you handle private label and packaging design?

Yes. We offer full OEM/ODM solutions including product design, branding, custom packaging, and barcode/labeling for retail and e-commerce. Our design team supports artwork and dielines to accelerate approval cycles.
