Shuibei, Shenzhen · Since 2017

The source price,
without the showroom markup.

AL 珠宝 is a WeChat-first jewelry studio in Shuibei — the world’s largest jewelry wholesale market. We source finished pieces and build bespoke settings for clients who want the trade price, not the retail one.

01 — About

A different kind of jewelry business.

Most of what we sell is found, matched and made after a conversation — not picked off a shelf.

We are not a retail store with a fixed catalogue. Our base is Shuibei, in Luohu, Shenzhen: a few city blocks that hold thousands of suppliers, from finished silver to certified stones. If a piece exists in the market, it exists somewhere in Shuibei.

You tell us what you are looking for. We walk the market, compare suppliers, check the stones, and quote you our trade price plus a transparent margin. Because we buy at the same price as other traders — not at the retail counter — the final number is usually below what a walk-in customer is quoted.

For custom work, we go further: you send a design, we select the centre stone and side stones, and our long-term partner factories cut and set the piece. One-off orders are welcome here; most factories will not take them from an individual.

The studio was founded in 2018 by Wayne Zhang (张有为), starting with one person walking the market and growing into a store and a team.

The store is not a retail counter — it is the team’s working base, where goods are inspected, packed and dispatched. Almost every order runs entirely on WeChat, but clients are welcome to visit, look at the goods or collect in person. A physical store inside the market is itself a reason clients trust us with their orders.

02 — Services

Two ways to buy at the source.

Finished-piece sourcing for what already exists; bespoke setting for what does not.

Service 02 · Bespoke

Make it to your design

Found a design you love online? Send it over. We select the stones and have the piece made in our partner workshops.

  • Centre and side stones: natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, jadeite, nephrite, agate and more
  • Any reference design — ring, pendant, earring or bracelet
  • Single-piece orders accepted, which factories usually decline
  • Photos at every stage, from loose stones to finished setting

We don’t sell the counter price. We sell the eye, the relationships and the trade price — earned by walking Shuibei for years.

10 — FAQ

A few things clients ask.

Do you have a physical store?

Yes — B1 · A-1-07, Xinglong Gold & Jewelry Building, Shuibei 2nd Road, Luohu, Shenzhen. It is the team’s working base. Almost all orders run on WeChat, but clients are welcome to visit, inspect goods or collect in person.

How is the price calculated?

Sourcing: our trade price plus a margin stated up front. Bespoke: the day’s gold or silver price, the stones, and the factory’s setting charge — itemised before you commit.

How do you guarantee the stones?

Jadeite is A-grade only; diamonds come with IGI / NGTC certificates where applicable; gold and silver are tested and weighed in person. Re-checking can be arranged.

How long does a custom piece take?

In-stock pieces usually 1–2 weeks; bespoke work 2–4 weeks depending on the design and factory schedule.

Payment and delivery?

Agreed on WeChat, deposit or full payment. Insured courier delivery anywhere in mainland China, with certificate and receipt.
