Source Jewelry & Accessories from China

From Yiwu's 5,000-booth fashion jewelry market to Panyu's fine jewelry workshops and Shuibei's gold wholesale district. Every price point, every material, one supply chain.

Jewelry Manufacturing in China

China exported US$4.7 billion in fashion jewelry in 2024, up 14.85% year-on-year, and commands roughly 33% of the global jewelry market by value. Add watches (806 million units — 76% of global volume) and eyewear (US$7.6 billion in exports), and the combined accessories sector makes China the undisputed production engine for everything buyers wear that is not clothing or footwear.

What sets this category apart is city-level specialisation. Yiwu dominates fashion jewelry with 5,000+ booths in District 1 alone. Panyu (Guangzhou) processes 60% of China's fine jewelry — the same workshops that manufacture for Tiffany and Cartier also take OEM orders. Shenzhen's Shuibei district handles 60% of the country's gold wholesale trade. And Danyang produces half the world's spectacle lenses. Each city owns a different rung of the value ladder, from US$0.10 Yiwu earrings to six-figure Panyu diamond commissions.

CHINA'S SHARE OF GLOBAL JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES

Watch production by volume (806M units)76%
Spectacle lenses (Danyang alone)50%
Fashion jewelry global exports33%
Fine jewelry processing (Panyu district)25%
Gold jewelry wholesale (Shuibei district)60%

Industry data, 2024–2025. China exported US$4.7B in fashion jewelry (+14.85% YoY), US$7.6B+ in eyewear, and produced 806M watches (76% of global volume). Panyu district accounts for 60% of China's fine jewelry output. Shuibei handles 60% of China's gold jewelry trade.

Yiwu jewelry sourcing

Yiwu is one of the world's best-known wholesale sourcing hubs for fashion jewelry and accessories. International Trade City brings together dense supplier networks offering rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hair accessories, and jewelry sets across a wide range of materials, finishes, styles, and price points, with strong availability for ready stock and fast order turnaround.

For importers, Yiwu is the right starting point when sourcing fashion jewelry that depends on variety, low minimums, and mixed-container flexibility. It works especially well for buyers testing new designs, combining multiple SKUs in one shipment, or building fast-moving collections without committing to deeper factory-scale development. Compared with more specialised fine jewelry cities, Yiwu is stronger for speed, assortment, and wholesale convenience.

Guangzhou jewelry sourcing

Guangzhou is one of China's most important cities for fine jewelry manufacturing and trading. Panyu is widely known as a major processing base for fine jewelry, while Liwan Plaza and Hualin strengthen the city's position across jade, silver, crystal, pearl, and bead jewelry. The city combines factory depth with wholesale market access across both precious and decorative categories.

For importers, Guangzhou is the right choice when sourcing jewelry that depends on processing capability, category breadth, and in-person market comparison. It works especially well for buyers looking across fine jewelry, jade, silver, pearls, and colored stones, or combining showroom visits with follow-up factory sourcing in the wider Pearl River Delta.

Shenzhen jewelry sourcing

Shenzhen is one of China's strongest cities for gold, precious jewelry, and higher-value jewelry trading, with Shuibei standing out as a major national wholesale cluster. The city supports broad category depth across gold, K-gold, diamonds, jade, pearls, lab-grown stones, and related jewelry supply, backed by mature manufacturing, trading, and market infrastructure.

For importers, Shenzhen is the right starting point when sourcing jewelry that depends on precious materials, stronger wholesale depth, and more advanced trading infrastructure. It works especially well for buyers focused on gold jewelry, diamond products, premium jewelry categories, or projects that require access to a more established high-value jewelry ecosystem.

Dongguan jewelry sourcing

Dongguan is one of China's key OEM and ODM manufacturing centres for stainless steel and fashion jewelry, with supplier networks covering casting, stone setting, plating, polishing, assembly, and packaging. The city's export-oriented manufacturing base supports fast product development, better production control, and stronger alignment with overseas buyer requirements.

For importers, Dongguan is the right call when jewelry sourcing depends on factory execution, repeatable quality, and custom development rather than purely wholesale trading. It works especially well for brands and wholesalers building stainless steel collections, private-label jewelry lines, or OEM programs that require stronger process management and export experience.

Danyang jewelry sourcing

Danyang is one of the world's best-known eyewear manufacturing centres, with a dense ecosystem covering spectacle lenses, sunglasses, reading glasses, frames, and optical accessories. The city combines large-scale lens production with supporting capability in design, R&D, finishing, and export-oriented manufacturing, making it a highly specialised sourcing base within China's accessories landscape.

For importers, Danyang is the right choice when sourcing eyewear products that depend on strong category depth, specialised optical supply chains, and high-volume manufacturing capability. It works especially well for buyers building sunglasses or reading-glasses ranges, sourcing prescription-related optical products, or combining finished eyewear with supporting accessories through an established export-focused cluster.

Foshan jewelry sourcing

Foshan has a long-standing role in China's jade and jewelry ecosystem, especially through Pingzhou's concentration of jade carving, stone processing, and specialist workshop production. The city also benefits from broader manufacturing support for jewelry accessories, findings, chains, clasps, and related packaging and component materials.

For importers, Foshan is most relevant when sourcing jade-related products, semi-precious stone jewelry, or supporting jewelry materials within the wider Pearl River Delta. It works especially well for buyers combining jade sourcing with visits to nearby Guangzhou markets, or for those looking beyond finished jewelry into supply chain support and accessory production.
