Cabochons: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.20 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $2.00 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $1.00 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $0.75 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.50 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.30 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.20 |
What moves the price
For cabochons, the drivers are strip size, treatment chemistry, pack count, paper grade, shelf life, material, cut style, color — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale cabochon pricing spans from about $2.49 for 20-piece resin lots to $18-$28 per polished gemstone cabochon and $240 for a 20-piece mixed larimar lot, showing that material and finish dominate price more than order count alone. The most realistic bulk routes are gemstone wholesalers selling by piece, parcel, or weight, plus import/FOB suppliers that quote by color grade and cut; custom-print or custom-manufactured flatback cabochons usually price lower only when resin/acrylic and standardized tooling are used. For true custom-made stone cabochons, pricing is usually quote-based rather than openly published, so the bands above are best treated as landed-equivalent wholesale ranges anchored to published lots and parcels.
