How to Verify Real Manufacturers
Professional B2B Sourcing Report 2026
Prepared for: Global Procurement Managers
Subject: Critical Steps to Verify Artificial Jewellery Manufacturers in China
Published by: SourcifyChina | Senior Sourcing Consultant
Date: Q1 2026
Executive Summary
Sourcing artificial jewellery from China offers significant cost advantages and access to a mature supply chain. However, the market is fragmented, with a high concentration of trading companies posing as manufacturers and inconsistent quality standards. This report outlines a structured verification process to identify genuine factories, distinguish them from intermediaries, and mitigate procurement risks.
1. Critical Steps to Verify a Manufacturer
Follow this 6-step due diligence protocol to ensure supplier legitimacy and capability:
| Step | Action | Purpose | Verification Tools/Methods |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Request Business License & Factory Address | Confirm legal registration and physical presence | Cross-check business license (via China’s National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System). Verify factory address via satellite imagery (Google Earth) and video walk-throughs. |
| 2 | Conduct On-Site or Third-Party Audit | Validate production capacity, equipment, and working conditions | Use third-party inspection firms (e.g., SGS, QIMA, TÜV) for factory audits. Prioritize ISO 9001, BSCI, or SEDEX certifications. |
| 3 | Review Production Equipment & Workflow | Assess technical capability and scalability | Request photos/videos of machinery (e.g., die-casting, plating lines, polishing stations). Confirm in-house capabilities vs. outsourcing. |
| 4 | Evaluate Sample Quality & Consistency | Benchmark product standards | Request pre-production samples. Test for plating durability, material authenticity (e.g., nickel-free), dimensional accuracy, and finish. |
| 5 | Confirm Export Experience & Client References | Validate international compliance and reliability | Request 3–5 verifiable export references. Contact past clients to assess delivery performance and quality consistency. |
| 6 | Assess Communication & Technical Responsiveness | Gauge professionalism and collaboration potential | Evaluate responsiveness, clarity in MOQ, lead times, and ability to interpret technical drawings or CAD files. |
2. How to Distinguish Between Trading Company and Factory
Misidentifying a trading company as a factory leads to inflated costs, reduced control, and supply chain opacity. Use the following indicators:
| Indicator | Factory | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Business License Scope | Lists manufacturing activities (e.g., “production of metal accessories”) | Lists “import/export,” “wholesale,” or “trade” without production terms |
| Facility Footage | Shows CNC machines, plating tanks, polishing lines, in-house QC labs | Limited or no production equipment; office-only footage |
| Pricing Structure | Provides cost breakdown (material, labor, tooling, plating) | Offers flat pricing with no transparency |
| Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) | Typically lower per design (500–1,000 pcs); flexible for custom tooling | Higher MOQs; reluctant to produce unique designs |
| Lead Time | Direct control over production schedule (e.g., 25–35 days) | Longer lead times due to subcontracting (45+ days) |
| Technical Staff Access | Engineers or production managers available for technical discussions | Only sales representatives engage; deflects technical queries |
| Factory Location | Located in industrial zones (e.g., Yiwu, Dongguan, Panyu) | Often based in commercial districts (e.g., Guangzhou Tianhe) |
Pro Tip: Ask: “Can I speak with your production manager?” or “Show me your electroplating line.” Factories typically comply; trading companies avoid such requests.
3. Red Flags to Avoid
Early detection of high-risk suppliers prevents costly disruptions. Watch for these warning signs:
| Red Flag | Risk Implication | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Unwillingness to provide factory address or live video tour | Likely not a real factory; potential scam | Disqualify immediately |
| Extremely low pricing vs. market average | Indicates substandard materials, labor exploitation, or hidden costs | Request detailed cost breakdown; verify material specs |
| No samples or only showroom samples | Quality may not reflect production output | Require custom pre-production samples |
| Pressure for large upfront payments (>50%) | High fraud risk; lack of financial stability | Use secure payment terms (e.g., 30% deposit, 70% against BL copy) |
| Generic product catalog with no customization capability | Limited innovation; reliant on stock designs | Test with a custom design request |
| Poor English or inconsistent communication | Risk of misinterpretation, delays, quality issues | Assign a bilingual sourcing agent or use verified platforms |
| No verifiable export history or client list | Unproven reliability in international logistics and compliance | Request shipping documents (e.g., B/L copies) or third-party audit reports |
4. Best Practices for Secure Sourcing
- Use Escrow Services: Platforms like Alibaba Trade Assurance provide payment protection.
- Sign a Quality Agreement: Define AQL levels, packaging specs, and rejection protocols.
- Engage a Local Sourcing Agent: For audits, quality control, and logistics coordination.
- Start with a Trial Order: Test performance before scaling.
- Register IP Protection: File design patents in China via the CNIPA to prevent counterfeiting.
