It's always a pleasure to connect with founders launching new creative projects.\n\nI have received the design file you sent, thank you.\n\nBefore we go any further, I must clarify an important point regarding the materials for your collection. Your project requires 316L stainless steel, but for our jewelry production here in Portugal, we work exclusively with brass and silver. These materials allow us to achieve the high-end finishing and refined details that are hallmarks of European craftsmanship.\n\nWith that in mind, would you be open to considering either brass or silver for your designs?\n\nYour answer will help me understand if we are the right fit for your brand's first collection.",

The goal is to offer durable,\nhigh-quality pieces with strong resistance to water and everyday wear while\nkeeping the positioning within the accessible luxury segment.\n\nBecause of this, I am currently prioritizing manufacturers who work with\n316L stainless steel.\n\nThat said, I appreciate you informing me about your materials and\ncraftsmanship. Out of curiosity, I would still be interested to know more\nabout your capabilities with silver, as this could potentially be relevant\nfor future collections.\n\nThank you again for your honesty and for taking the time to review my\nproject.\n\nKind regards,\nAklima\n\n\nOn Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 7:16\u202fPM Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Aklima,\n>\n> Thank you for contacting us and for your detailed introduction to\n> Occirient.

I completely understand your focus on 316L stainless steel for your brand's launch identity; it's important to be true to the initial concept.\n\nI am happy to provide the details on our silver capabilities for your future consideration. For silver jewelry, our minimum order quantity is 50 units per style, which I see aligns well with the numbers you had in mind. We can certainly work from the same sketches, drawings, or CAD files you have already prepared.\n\nThe complete production cycle, from placing an order to final delivery, takes about 5 months. This timeframe is essential to uphold the high standards of quality that Portuguese craftsmanship is known for. Taking into account the factory holidays in August, a project started around this time would be scheduled for delivery in October 2026.\n\nOf course, the production price would differ significantly from steel. Should you decide to explore a silver collection in the future, the main information we would need to begin an analysis would be your target price per style for that material.\n\nI hope this information is helpful for your planning. We wish you the very best with the launch of Occirient.",
