I confirm you we´re working on producing the 10mm pearl with the exact specs requested by Pandora, as customized articles. In regards to 6mm pearls if they have the standards specs, then they can be easily ordered.
Unfortunately the first production trial for the 10mm pearl was not positive and we had to re-launch immediately a new prototypes production.
These below are the current scenarios we´re facing at the moment.
Blind hole pearl 10mm : Prototypes leave WATTENS
a. BEST CASE = New production test and feasibility result by end of Week 34. Samples leave Wattens latest by Week 36 b. Worst CASE = Test results negative, re-launch of a new production. Samples leave Wattens latest by Week 39
c. Remark: worst case subject to success of trial otherwise can be additional 3 weeks for re-loop
As you see from this above recap, I´m unfortunately not able to provide you in a short time the 100 samples for the 10mm blind hole pearl requested.
Moreover, as the main production issue we´re facing is due to the bigger diameter of the blind hole, another option we discussed with Pandora Denmark last week, “sort of PLAN B”, was to try to reduce this measure (hole diameter) and instead of having a blind hole of 3,3mm maybe to try to reduce it to 2mm, if this is still possible.
Would it be doable?
Is there any chance to have smaller pin for the metal component?
We´re currently focusing and working hard on providing Pandora the blind hole pearls with the exact specs they asked for but I’d also prefer to have a PLAN B, in case the result by the end of Week 34 is not positive.
