Unit Prices for Jewelry Productions

    

Our invoices are done in such a way as to be as transparent as possible on our pricing. This allows you to get a feel for how much projects will cost before you have even begun to create them. As we are primarily a production company all of our unit prices are geared towards production orders. First prototypes created of a style will also enjoy our regular production prices with no surcharges added.

Precious Metals: US Dollars / Gram:

Below are our actual rates per gram for worked metal in various purities as of 03/07/2009. Our metal rates already account wastage and other factors, so you pay only the metal in your piece of jewelry.

Please note that precious metal prices and currencies fluctuate daily, so the actual rate will be recalculated for your project at the time of order. In the future this table will update automatically, but at present it must be updated manually so may be out of date. Please refer to the date listed above to see when the table was last updated.
