Reliable pearl sourcing is built around repeatable information. A good restock record makes it easier to compare a new lot with the previous one and decide whether it fits an existing collection.
Keep a simple lot record
- Product link and lot date
- Size, shape, color, and surface direction
- Luster notes and reference images
- Weight, approximate count, and order quantity
- Which finished designs used the lot successfully
Plan samples before production
For a new style, begin with a sample or small batch. Confirm the visual direction and production yield before committing to a larger quantity.
Ask about continuity
When a collection needs to be restocked, share the previous reference and the required quantity. The current batch should still be reviewed because freshwater pearl availability and matching can change over time.
