Jewelry Component Guidelines

Commonly Used Components

For components that you use over and over, we suggest you have individual SKUs for them.

You use Stuller’s CH465 chain over and over in different sizes and gold colors. The recommended setup would be as follows (you should use your own Product Options naming scheme and keep it consistent throughout your inventory)

Not Commonly Used Components

For components like mountings that are rarely if ever bought again there are two ways we suggest entering them into the OS:

1. Enter each into its own separate SKU.

   1. Pros: This allows you to identify the exact mounting used in your jewelry for future reference. You can add product options such as metal color and sizes to keep your product list as concise as possible.

   2. Cons: Your product list can become bloated if you purchase many unique components/mountings

2. You enter them as their gold weight. Make sure you have a “Gold” product setup. Then enter a bill for the particular gold at the weight and total. When you enter that mounting as an ingredient into the jewelry you are making, again add the same gold weight.

   1. Pros: keeps your product list as concise as possible

   2. Cons: you will not have the exact mounting information in your recipes since it is entered into as the metal product. This may not be a big concern since you are not using these mountings often.

Example of a bill entered for a mounting using the “Gold” product:
