Custom Jewelry Manufacturer for Small Brands & Startups
Launch or grow your jewelry brand with manufacturing support from our Istanbul workshop. We help small businesses and independent founders develop custom gold, sterling silver and gold vermeil jewelry, from 3D modelling and sampling to production.
ODM silver & gold vermeil: 25 pieces per design · ODM solid gold: negotiable minimums
OEM minimums are quoted individually for your original designs.
From your first idea to a finished collection
Bamina is a custom jewelry manufacturer for small businesses, independent brands and startups. We help founders—including women entrepreneurs—turn sketches and reference images into a collection developed around their own aesthetic.
Work with our team in Istanbul on materials, 3D design, sampling and production. Share your planned quantities and target price early so we can review the options for your project.
Built around your brand
Create jewelry with your own identity
Start with the pieces your customers will recognize as yours. Share your design direction, intended use and preferred details, from proportions and stone settings to surface texture and finish.
We develop the design with you through 3D modelling and a physical sample, giving you a chance to review the details before production.
Plan your quantities
Minimum orders: ODM and OEM explained
ODM silver & gold vermeil: 25 pieces per design.
ODM solid gold: minimum quantities are negotiable.
OEM / your original designs: minimum quantities are confirmed individually after we review your designs, materials and estimated order. The 25-piece ODM minimum is not a universal OEM minimum.
Your project quotation confirms the agreed quantities and pricing before you commit.
Choose your materials
Silver, gold vermeil or solid gold
- 925 sterling silver
- Gold vermeil on a sterling silver base
- Solid gold: 9k, 10k, 14k and 18k
Choose the metal, gemstones, finish and proportions around your brand and target price. Design complexity, metal weight, stone choices and quantity all affect the quotation.
Discuss your preferred specification with our team before design development and sampling.
Know the next step
Review, sample, approve, produce
- 3D modelling: approximately 3–4 days. Review the proposed design and request adjustments before sample development.
- Sampling: around 1 week. Review the physical piece and approve the design, materials and finish before production.
- Production: around 2–3 weeks. Production starts after sample approval and the 30% deposit. Timing depends on quantity and design complexity.
- Before shipping: the remaining 70% is paid before dispatch.
These are approximate stage timings, not a guaranteed total delivery time. Allow for feedback, revisions and shipping; your quotation confirms the schedule for your project.
