Imitation and Fashion Jewellery Manufacturers in India
India makes imitation and fashion jewellery in centres such as Delhi NCR, Jaipur, Mumbai and Rajkot, from traditional kundan-style and oxidised pieces to minimalist gold-plated designs.
We help fashion retailers, e-commerce brands and private-label collections source jewellery with consistent plating and test reports that meet nickel, lead and cadmium limits.

Compliance
EU and UK REACH
Limits apply to nickel release (entry 27), lead (entry 63) and cadmium (entry 23) in jewellery.US rules
Children's jewellery falls under CPSIA lead limits and testing; several states, including California, set limits on lead in jewellery.EU / UK general product safety
Consumer products need a responsible economic operator in the EU (GPSR) and traceability details on product or packaging; Great Britain applies its own product safety rules.Packaging and export logistics
Pieces are carded or bagged individually with anti-tarnish paper where needed, and packed in small cartons. Jewellery is light, so air freight is common for fast-fashion programmes.

International buyer questions
Is Indian imitation jewellery nickel-free?
It can be. Specify nickel-free materials and plating, and test for nickel release before shipment.
Which base metal should I choose?
Brass gives better quality and plating durability; alloys are cheaper but less durable.
How long does plating last?
It depends on thickness and coating. We agree plating specifications and test adhesion and tarnish resistance.
Can you make jewellery for children?
Yes, but children's jewellery has stricter lead and safety rules, so testing is essential.
