Costs

Quotes

Unless we establish a budget, costs are calculated as the work progresses

Quotes are sent through email. I provide concise quotes which become our 'job sheet'. If we make changes to the design or the manufacturing cost, I will adjust the invoice.

Quotes for an original design can only be made after an initial consultation.

Calculations on quotes

Metal is charged at a set rate per gram. Diamonds or other coloured gems prices are based on cost. Labour is added when I can assess the manufacturing requirements, which is charged at an hourly rate. Design time and consultations are included as production costs

Pro forma

Where the design is an original I may create pro forma model(s) to test the design elements before I find the correct combination
