01 · Width Comes First
Pick the width before you pick the stone.
先定宽度 · 再选钻
Bangle decoration looks like a stone question. It isn’t. The first thing a finished bangle reads as on the wrist is a band of a certain width — before any single stone registers. Until that width is set, the stones have no stage to perform on.
手镯装饰看着像在选钻 · 其实不是。戴上手的第一印象 · 是手腕上一圈某宽度的带状物——任何一颗具体的钻还没读到。宽度没定 · 钻就没舞台。
LOCA builds bangle decoration through Bangle Diamond Sticker, the dedicated bangle-strip product line. Width runs from 3 mm at the narrow end to 20 mm at the wide end. Within that range, three working tiers cover most of the orders that come in from India, MENA, and LATAM markets.
乐卡的手镯装饰走 手镯钻贴条 这条专用产品线。宽度从最窄的 3 mm 到最宽的 20 mm。这个范围内 · 三个常用档位覆盖了印度、中东、拉美客户的多数订单。
02 · The Three Width Tiers
Three tiers cover most bangle orders.
三个档位覆盖大部分手镯订单
A 3 mm strip and a 20 mm strip aren’t two sizes of the same thing. They sit in different parts of the buyer catalogue, photograph differently, price differently, and behave differently on the wrist.
3 mm 和 20 mm 不是同一件东西的两个尺寸。在客户目录里位置不同、上镜效果不同、价格不同 · 戴上手感也不同。
| Tier | Width | Reads as | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow | 3 – 6 mm | Accent line | Stacking bangles · paired sets · trim around a wider metal band |
| Medium | 8 – 12 mm | The bracelet itself | Single-strip bangle as a finished bracelet · everyday wear |
| Wide | 14 – 20 mm | Cuff effect | Statement piece · bridal · evening · multi-element layouts |
| 档位 | 宽度 | 视觉读感 | 常见用途 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 窄 | 3 – 6 mm | 点缀线 | 叠戴手镯 · 成套搭配 · 围在更宽的金属圈上做边 |
| 中 | 8 – 12 mm | 手镯本身 | 一条即是成品手镯 · 日常佩戴 |
| 宽 | 14 – 20 mm | 宽袖口效果 | 气势单品 · 婚饰 · 晚装 · 多元素混排布局 |
A buyer who searches "rhinestone bangle" usually means the medium tier. A buyer who searches "diamond bangle strip" or "bracelet rhinestone trim" often means the narrow tier. The wide tier is what most catalogue cover shots are built around — visual impact per strip is highest there.
搜 "rhinestone bangle" 的客户 · 多半指中宽档。搜 "diamond bangle strip" 或 "bracelet rhinestone trim" 的客户 · 多半指窄条档。宽档则是多数目录封面图选用的档位 · 单条视觉冲击力最强。
03 · Strip Count
Bangle Diamond Sticker is counted per strip, not per piece.
手镯钻贴条按"条"计 · 不按"片"计
A quoting confusion that comes up almost weekly: a buyer sends a quantity in "pieces" and assumes that means finished bangles. Bangle Diamond Sticker production doesn’t run that way. The line outputs strips of fixed length — one strip equals one finished bangle decoration. Quote, lead time, and packing all move in strips.
差不多每周都会遇到一次的报价误会：客户用"片"报数量 · 默认一片就是一只成品手镯。手镯钻贴条不是这么走的。生产线出的是固定长度的"条"——一条 = 一只成品手镯装饰。报价、交期、包装 · 全部按"条"走。
LOCA’s Bangle Diamond Sticker line currently outputs around 100,000 strips per day. For order sizing, this means a 30,000-strip order is a standard week, not an exceptional ask.
乐卡手镯钻贴条目前产能约 10 万条 / 天。换算成订单：3 万条是一周内的常规量 · 不是特殊订单。
Sizing rule of thumb
Strip length matches the inside circumference of the bangle.
Standard Indian bangle inside circumference: 18 – 22 cm. MENA market often runs slightly wider. Always confirm the bangle inside circumference before locking strip length, because there is no good way to extend a strip after pressing.
04 · Surface Effect
Stone size and element mix decide the surface read.
钻号大小 + 元素混排 · 决定表面读感
Within any single width, three knobs change how the surface reads:
在同一个宽度里 · 有三个变量决定表面读感：
- Stone size — small dense SS6 / SS8 fields read as a continuous shimmer; larger SS10 / SS12 stones read as individual highlights.
- Element mix — round stones only, or round stones interlaced with shaped glass (navette, baguette, marquise), pearls, or electroplated steel beads.
- Row symmetry — one central feature row with smaller borders, or fully even rows of the same size.
- 钻号大小 — 小钻密排（SS6 / SS8）读成一片连续闪面；大钻（SS10 / SS12）读成一颗颗独立高光。
- 元素混排 — 纯圆钻 · 或圆钻穿插玻璃异形钻（马眼 · 长方 · 橄榄）、珍珠、电镀钢珠。
- 排列对称 — 中间一排突出元素 + 两边小钻收边 · 或全排同号数对称展开。
In medium-tier widths (8 – 12 mm), a 3-element mix — rhinestone + shaped glass + electroplated steel bead — is the LOCA workhorse layout. It gives enough variation to read as a designed surface without crossing into "everything everywhere" visual noise.
中宽档（8 – 12 mm）里 · 三元素混排——水钻 + 玻璃异形钻 + 电镀钢珠——是乐卡常用的主力布局。变化够、读起来是被设计过的表面 · 又不至于到"哪儿都满"的杂乱。
05 · The Element Library
A bangle strip is built from a library, not a fixed recipe.
手镯钻贴条来自元素库 · 不是固定配方
Most buyers think of a rhinestone bangle as “stones on a base.” LOCA’s Bangle Diamond Sticker line is the multi-element product in the LOCA system — each strip is assembled from a library of decorative elements selected per order. The mix isn’t fixed; it’s the variable that makes one bangle look different from the next at the same width.
大多数客户把水钻手镯想成"钻 + 底"。乐卡的手镯钻贴条是体系里的"多元素"产品线 — 每条都从装饰元素库里按订单选配组合。组合不固定 · 而正是这个变量 · 让同一宽度下的手镯看起来各不相同。
LOCA’s standard 12-element library (shared across all non-PVC product lines) is organised into four families. A bangle strip can mix any subset:
乐卡标准 12 元素库（除 PVC 外 7 条产品线共用）· 分 4 大类组织。一条手镯钻贴条可以从这套库里任选混排：
- A · Rhinestone family (5) — pointed-back rhinestone · flat-back rhinestone · hot-fix rhinestone* · resin rhinestone · ceramic stone
- B · Glass shaped rhinestone (1 + 2 sub-types) — glass shaped rhinestone (flat-back / pointed-back sub-types)
- C · Bead family (4) — ABS bead · pearl · glass bead · electroplated steel bead
- D · Claw setting family (2) — shaped claw setting · claw chain
- A · 水钻类（5 元素） — 尖底水钻 · 平底水钻 · 烫钻* · 树脂钻 · 陶瓷
- B · 异形玻璃钻（1 + 2 子型） — 异形玻璃钻（平底 / 尖底子型）
- C · 珠类（4 元素） — ABS · 珍珠 · 玻璃珠 · 电镀钢珠
- D · 爪类（2 元素） — 异形爪 · 爪链
* Hot-fix rhinestone (烫钻 · also written as 平底烫钻 to emphasize structure) is a stone material with hot-melt adhesive already bonded to the back — ship-ready · typically flat-back style. For a full breakdown of the 12 elements, see the Buyer Vocabulary Guide · Stone & Material section.
* 烫钻（也可显式写"平底烫钻"）是一种独立的钻材质 · 背面在出厂时已压好热熔胶 · 出厂即用。12 元素完整详解 · 见 买家词典 · 材料与元素章节。
A worked example
Steel beads + rhinestone is what makes a 10 mm strip look intentional.
A common workhorse combination: SS6 / SS8 rhinestone field + scattered shaped glass + small electroplated steel beads (e.g. 0.8 mm). The steel beads land a hard metal highlight that a pure-stone strip can’t produce. If a buyer wants a single 8 – 12 mm strip to look like a finished bracelet rather than a stone trim wrapped onto a base, asking for any metal-element variant from the library almost always tightens the visual.
一个常见的主力组合：SS6 / SS8 水钻面 + 散排玻璃异形钻 + 小电镀钢珠（比如 0.8 mm）。钢珠落出纯水钻抽条做不出来的硬金属高光。如果客户希望一条 8 – 12 mm 单条 · 看起来像成品手链而不是绕在底上的水钻抽条 · 从库里挑任何带金属元素的变体 · 几乎都能把视觉收紧。
06 · The Production Spec Sheet
Eight specs to confirm before bulk.
量产前 · 八项规格确认
A first-order spec sheet that’s actually complete is what lets a supplier repeat the same bangle six months later — no second sample round, no “is this the version you wanted?” email. Send this with the first order:
首单的规格表如果一次写全 · 半年后翻单就能直接复刻——不再走第二轮打样 · 不再有"是你要的那个版本吗"的邮件。下首单时随单发出这份：
Bangle order spec sheet
- Width (mm) — 3 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 20 mm

- Element selection — choose from LOCA 12-element library: rhinestone family (pointed / flat / hot-fix / resin / ceramic) · glass shaped · bead family (ABS / pearl / glass bead / steel bead) · claw family (shaped claw / claw chain)
- For metal elements — specify size (e.g. 0.8 mm steel bead) + finish family (rose gold / black + gun / gold / silver)

Adjacent product worth knowing: when a buyer wants the bangle decoration to wrap a thicker base — metal cuff, leather strap, resin core — Diamond Rope is often the better fit. It’s the fabric-backed rope variant with selectable inner core (cotton / EVA / PVC / PU / TPU), and behaves more like a wrappable trim than a flat strip.
相邻产品提一下：如果客户希望手镯装饰包覆更厚的基底 · 比如金属手镯、皮带、树脂芯 · 水钻抽条 通常更合适。它是布底 + 可选内层（棉 / EVA / PVC / PU / TPU）的水钻抽条变体 · 比扁平条带更适合"包"上去的工艺。
