Raw brass jewelry, ready for your plater
Brass pieces made to your design in Jaipur, finished to the surface you specify and shipped unplated — so the plating happens in your country, with your plater, to your standard.
For brands that control their own finish
Raw brass manufacturing suits brands that already work with a plating partner, or want one finish applied to everything they sell. You receive the metal part — cast or fabricated, cleaned and finished — and your plater applies the gold, silver-tone or colored finish you choose.
- Control of the final specification. Thickness, color and protective coatings are decided by a plater you already know.
- Flexibility. The same raw stock can be plated in different colors as demand develops.
- Consistency. New pieces match the finish of the products you already sell.
- Finishing close to the market. Plating, final polish and packing can happen near your warehouse or your customers.
What we agree before production
“Plating-ready” means different things to different platers. These are the points we settle with you in writing, and check on the approved sample.
- Surface condition
- High polish, satin, brushed, hammered or textured — and which faces of the piece it applies to.
- Clean-up
- Removal of casting sprues and marks, filing and pre-polish level, so your plater receives pieces ready for their preparation line.
- Assembly
- Whether findings, jump rings, posts or hinges are attached and soldered before shipping, or supplied loose.
- Dimensions & weight
- Key measurements and an indicative weight per piece, checked against the approved sample.
- Marking
- Your logo or a reference stamped or engraved on the piece, where the design allows it.
- Packing
- How pieces are separated and sealed to limit scratches and oxidation during transport and storage.
From your design to unplated stock
You send your designs or a reference piece. We confirm the construction with the workshop — usually casting for three-dimensional pieces and hand fabrication for wire and sheet work — and quote the order with its quantities and timing.
A raw brass prototype is made and sent to you. Many brands have their plater finish that prototype, so the full result can be judged before production. Once you approve it, the order is produced against that reference, checked, packed and shipped to you or directly to your plater.
Questions brands ask
Will raw brass tarnish before I plate it?
Brass oxidizes when exposed to air and moisture, so some surface change over time is normal. Packing pieces in sealed bags and plating within a reasonable time limits it. Your plater will normally clean and activate the surface before plating in any case.
Can the same design be supplied both raw and gold-plated?
Yes, this can be quoted. Some brands plate part of an order locally and have the rest plated in India. The approved sample for each version is the reference.
Can you supply findings and components unplated as well?
Yes. Custom components, charms, connectors and findings can be produced in raw brass for your own assembly line, either alongside finished pieces or as a separate order.
What brass alloy is used?
Brass is a copper–zinc alloy, and compositions vary. If your plater or your market requires a particular composition, or limits on elements such as lead or nickel, write it in your brief. We confirm with the workshop what can be specified and documented before quoting.
