Custom Jewelry Development for Brands and Importers

Panama’s distribution market includes importers that combine wholesale and retail operations. Some distributors also serve customers across Central and South America, using the Colón Free Zone as a warehousing and redistribution base. This creates different purchasing needs: local retailers may require focused collections, while regional wholesalers often need broader product selections and repeatable supply.

SteedJewelry works with businesses at different stages of product development:

  • OEM Manufacturing: Produce jewelry based on your drawings, samples, reference images, or technical specifications.
  • ODM Development: Select and adapt existing designs to build a collection suited to your target customers.
  • Private Label Jewelry: Add your brand identity through customized logos, labels, accessories, and packaging.
  • Product Range Planning: Combine necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and other jewelry categories within one collection.
  • Small-Batch Testing: Start with a manageable order to evaluate designs and market response before expanding production.

The minimum order quantity starts at 100 pieces per design. Sample development generally takes 7–15 days, while bulk production usually takes 20–35 days, depending on the design and order requirements.

Supplying Panama’s Retail and Distribution Channels

Panama City is a major center for consumer-goods sales, accounting for approximately 65% of national sales according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. David, Colón, Santiago, and Chitré also serve important regional markets. The country’s distribution structure includes direct importers, wholesalers, retailers, and businesses that combine several of these roles.

For jewelry buyers, this means product selection and order planning should reflect the intended sales channel.

Retail stores and shopping mall retailers

Retailers can develop focused collections with coordinated necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings. Private label options help create a consistent product identity across different stores and sales seasons.

Jewelry wholesalers and importers

Wholesale buyers can combine multiple jewelry categories in one sourcing program. Consistent specifications, repeatable designs, and clear product organization help support regular replenishment.

Regional distributors

Businesses serving buyers beyond Panama can develop wider assortments for different retail markets. The Colón Free Zone has an established role in wholesale trade and international re-exports, including jewelry and other consumer goods.

SteedJewelry manages key production stages from material preparation to finished product inspection. Our team checks incoming materials, monitors workmanship during production, and inspects completed jewelry before packing.

Available materials include stainless steel, brass, zinc alloy, copper, and 925 sterling silver. Buyers can specify product dimensions, colors, finishes, components, logos, and packaging requirements according to their designs.

With more than 30 employees, an approximately 1,000 m² facility, and monthly production capacity of around 30,000 pieces, SteedJewelry supports both initial product development and ongoing wholesale orders.

Shipping Jewelry Orders to Panama

Panama’s position between the Atlantic and Pacific, together with its port and air-cargo infrastructure, gives importers several options for receiving international shipments. The country’s main commercial logistics network includes Atlantic-side ports such as Manzanillo and Cristobal, Pacific-side facilities such as Balboa, and Tocumen International Airport for air cargo. export.

SteedJewelry can arrange international orders through:

  • Express Courier: Suitable for samples and smaller shipments that need faster delivery.
  • Air Freight: An option for commercial orders where transit time is a priority.
  • Sea Freight: Suitable for larger shipments and planned wholesale replenishment.

Importers should confirm the applicable customs classification, duties, taxes, and documentation with their customs broker before shipment. Panama generally applies a 7% import tax to taxable imports, calculated on the applicable customs base, while import duties depend on product classification and relevant regulations.
