Supply for the top of the market: pieces that must survive comparison with the watch on the wrist and the pen in the pocket.
At this level a piece is examined rather than glanced at. Drill holes are inspected for chipping. Cord terminations are checked for symmetry. The weight distribution of the tassel is felt before the beads are counted.
We build for that examination: concentric drilling, hand-finished terminations, balanced tassels and a strand that hangs true when suspended from the imam.
Barcoding, price ticketing, market-specific labelling, retail-ready packaging and display units are all handled. Duty-free programmes additionally require robust unit packaging and consistent replenishment, which we plan against forecast.
We supply display and merchandising components matched to the product family where a client needs the fixture as well as the object.
The clients we value most have been with us for years, which is only possible if pricing is honest and scheduling is realistic. We would rather decline a programme than accept one we cannot deliver to standard.
Annual forecasting, reserved material allocation and held packaging stock keep long-term programmes predictable.
A luxury range fails when it reads as a collection of individually good pieces rather than one house. Coherence comes from three shared decisions: one material batch family, one furniture finish, and one packaging construction. Variation is then carried by profile, diameter and count — which is plenty.
The instinct to vary everything at launch is understandable and expensive. It multiplies tooling, splits material reservation, and produces a shelf that looks like three suppliers. We would rather launch narrow and extend from a proven file.
At this price point what accompanies the object matters. Material disclosure as standard, independent FTIR analysis where the programme justifies it, and a numbered record for limited pieces. We do not issue our own certificate of authenticity as though it were evidence — a supplier’s certificate is worth that supplier’s reputation, which is not the standard this tier should accept.
For a house building a collector proposition, third-party analysis is the difference between a claim and a fact, and it costs less than most of the packaging decisions made alongside it.
The most common error in this tier is pricing from cost plus a multiple, which produces a number the market either accepts or ignores with no way to tell which in advance. The more useful approach is to establish the price the position requires and then ask what specification that price genuinely supports — a conversation that occasionally ends with us saying the position needs a different material class.
Amber makes this concrete because the cost drivers are legible. Diameter, material class and selection yield account for most of the difference between a good piece and an exceptional one, and each can be moved deliberately. A house that understands those three levers can hold a price point across seasons as material markets move, which is worth more than any single favourable quotation.
We publish an indicative per-gram structure by diameter precisely so this conversation can start before anyone has committed. It is labelled indicative because batch and specification move it, and we would rather be checked than trusted.
Amber prices move with supply, and a house that has priced a piece from cost plus a multiple has no strategy when they do. The alternative is to know which levers preserve the position: a half-millimetre of diameter, a shift in selection standard within the same material class, a furniture change that reads as a choice rather than a saving.
We will map those levers against your specification at the outset so the options exist before they are needed. A brand that has to raise price or visibly reduce quality mid-season has usually run out of prepared moves rather than out of margin.
Yes — barcoding, price ticketing and market-specific labelling are all handled in-house.
Yes, matched to the product family in material and finish.
Yes, including the packaging robustness and replenishment planning that channel requires.
Material is allocated and packaging stock is held against an agreed forecast, which shortens lead times through the year.
From the position the piece has to hold, then what that price genuinely supports. Diameter, material class and selection yield are the three levers, and they are legible enough to hold a price point across seasons.
Yes, FTIR through a third-party laboratory where the programme justifies it. We do not present our own certificate as evidence.
Four things a buyer can check in thirty seconds: whether it falls true when hung, whether the shoulders are identical bead to bead, whether the cord termination can be found by the thumb, and whether the furniture is cast or plated. None of them are about the amber, and all of them are where the money in a luxury specification actually goes.
A photograph, a quantity and a destination is enough to receive a specification, an indicative price and an honest timeline.
