Our pieces are designed to be waterproof,\ntarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic and nickel-free, and we will be issuing\ndigital Product Passports with blockchain authentication for each piece at\nlaunch.\n\nWe are looking for a manufacturing partner for our initial sample and\nproduction run, and are specifically interested in:\n\n\u2014 Gold vermeil (18k over recycled 925 sterling silver) for our hero and\nMoments Collection pieces\n\u2014 Coloured lab-grown gemstone setting, including emerald, sapphire and ruby\n\u2014 Half bezel and channel settings as our primary architectural vocabulary\n\u2014 A per-style MOQ below 50 units for our launch collection\n\u2014 The ability to begin with a small sample run of three to five pieces\n\nWe are a gemologist-founded brand (trained in Antwerp) and approach\nmanufacturer relationships as long-term creative partnerships. Our initial\ncollection is small and considered \u2014 we are not chasing volume, but\nbuilding something with genuine craft integrity.\n\nCould you let us know whether you can accommodate our material and MOQ\nrequirements, what your sampling process looks like, and whether you hold\nRJC certification or work with RJC-certified suppliers?\n\nI would be very glad to share our design references and a brief brand\noverview if that would help you assess the fit.\n\nWith kind regards,\n\nEmma Harlin\nAurelia \u00c9tienne\naureliaetienne.com",

It sounds like a beautifully considered brand.\n\nWe do work with silver, which aligns with your needs. Regarding your questions, our minimum order quantity for jewellery is 50 units per style and per color. We hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\nTo provide you with a more complete analysis for your project, I need a few more details:\n\n1.  **Designs:** Do you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us for each style?\n2.  **Timeline:** What is your desired delivery date for the production run?\n3.  **Target Price:** What is your target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project.",

            "content": "Dear Matilde,\n\nThank you for your prompt and thoughtful response. It is encouraging to\nhear that you work with silver, and I appreciate you outlining your process\nso clearly.\n\nBefore progressing to the specifics of designs and timelines, I would like\nto understand your manufacturing capabilities in a little more depth, as\nfinding the right long-term production partner is a priority for us at this\nstage.\n\nI noticed you hold GOTS certification, which I understand is primarily\ntextile-focused. Could you clarify what jewellery-specific certifications\nyou hold, for example RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) or equivalent,\nand whether your silver supply chain is traceable to recycled or\nresponsibly sourced material? This is central to our brand positioning and\nEU Digital Product Passport compliance roadmap.\n\nI would also like to understand your co-creation capability. Aurelia\n\u00c9tienne is in product development and we are looking for a manufacturing\npartner who can work from concept references and mood direction rather than\nfinished tech packs at this stage. Do you have an in-house design or\nsampling team who work collaboratively with emerging brands?\n\nOn minimum order quantities, we are initially looking at a controlled\nlaunch across a small number of hero styles. Is there flexibility on the 50\nunits per style minimum for an initial sampling or first production run, or\nis that a firm floor?\n\nIn terms of retail positioning, our price architecture sits between \u00a3100\nand \u00a3500 retail depending on the category, with rings at the entry point\nand necklaces and statement pieces toward the upper range. We would welcome\nan initial conversation about whether our target production costs are\nviable within your structure before we go further.\n\nI look forward to hearing more about your capabilities.\n\nWarm regards,\n\nEmma\n\nAurelia \u00c9tienne\n\nOn Sat, Apr 4, 2026 at 6:35\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Emma,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us and for providing such a detailed introduction\n> to Aurelia \u00c9tienne.

            "content": "Hello Emma,\n\nThank you for your reply. I understand completely that finding the right long-term partner is crucial, and I'm happy to clarify these points for you.\n\nRegarding certifications, we hold the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification, which guarantees our commitment to environmentally and socially responsible production.\n\nIn terms of the design process, our expertise lies in bringing a finalized design to life with the highest quality. We do not have an in-house design team to develop concepts from mood boards. To ensure our production team can execute your vision with perfect accuracy, we work from either a detailed Tech Pack or a physical sample.\n\nThe minimum of 50 units per style is indeed our standard for jewellery, as this allows us to maintain our quality standards and production efficiency.\n\nThe best way for us to assess the viability of production costs is for our technical team to analyze your specific designs against your price targets. For us to conduct that proper analysis, I would still need the initial information I requested.\n\nTo provide you with an accurate quotation, I need the following details:\n\n1.  **Designs:** Since you are in the development stage without Tech Packs, do you have a physical sample for each style that you can ship to our office in Portugal?\n2.  **Timeline:** What is your desired delivery date for the production run?\n3.  **Target Price:** What is your target production price per style, indicated separately for each style?\n\nOnce I have these details, I can better assess your project and guide you on the possibilities.",
