I like that this formula includes a labor rate, and I can still make a profit on wholesale. June 26, at Thank you for your kind feedback! I like this formula because it tells you the lowest price you can set without losing money. Then I can go up from that lowest price if the piece warrants a higher price. July 27, at I have been doing this all wrong and think that I may have priced many of my pieces too low. August 7, at Thanks for the advice regarding Jewelry Pricing Formula.

I plan to donate some jewelry during the cancer awareness month. That will be the first time my jewelry will be given to someone other option family and friends. I will be retiring in a few years and hope that my jewelers will make someone happy and add to my income. I,m so excited and want to option all I can about making jewelry. August 16, at August put, at November 3, at According to this formula I have been losing money. Thank you for this tip. I did the same thing for the 2nd piece of jewelry I might have made with the left over beads from the 1st piece. Your way makes much more sense and I would be more price with all my pricing. December 12, at jewelers December 14, at I work with only sterling silver and gold filled, which means my materials are more costly. Do you feel in this economy marking up precious metals 4 times is reasonable? There seems to be a fine line between over pricing and consequently not selling and under pricing thereby cheapening your pieces. Thank you for your input. January 6, at Oh my God, thanks for guiding me with the pricing!! I was practically giving away my jewelry!! I appreciated it very much! January 10, at I have the same thoughts as Nadeen see above — when I make a necklace with a lot of sterling silver chain, the prices with this formula seem high. January 12, at I wish I had known this formula when I donated some of my pieces to an animal shelter for auction. I think I gave her a conservative number, but now I know better. February 15, at Just a thought about how to price sterling items. Use the formula above less the sterling components…then add the sterling x 2. March 4, at Thank You for your information. As JJ stated, I too am new at this and your suggestion has been very helpful. All the responses were great. This formula seems a lot better than the one I was using before, but a lot of my pieces seem to be coming out a little too expensive to compete. Is this because of the materials I use? I price all facebook my silver and copper from riogrande, so is there somewhere else I should go for bulk metals? I have purchased one of Renas booth books and found them a great help…especially for checklists for events. BUT I have always had a problem with the pricing of my stuff. Last night I sat down with my hubby and business partner and we printed out this formula so we can get better on track. Though when I use big sterling silver clasps I am only planning put x 2 the cost of the clasp as I said above Do you think I am wrong? I am looking for feedback here. March 26, at March 28, at I tried a similar formula but it seemed inconsistent with some work having expensive gems. I sent it along if it can be of any help. This formula adds a percentage to supply cost to cover over head. You will have now determined your FULL BASE PRICE. Last multiply your FULL BASE PRICE x 2 giving you a true retail price. Most retailers keystone double the price. I can easily give them my wholesale price by dividing by 2. If I want to adjust price for the lighter in the pocket audience, I can always offer discounts or specials. April price, at April 15, at I had a question. What if you are making beaded rings, earrings and do forth with 20 gauge wire? Just found facebook and would like to get your newsletter. I am in need of understanding pricing. And competition on Etsy is rough. I have looked at Etsys way of pricing,I like how you price and will be trying it. April 18, at I personally like Renas pricing…it made me look at how I was under-selling some of my pieces that were taking quit a bit of time to make. I am now able to sell wholesale and still option a profit. BUT I do adjust the pricing a bit different as I stated above when calculating those pieces that have my large and most expensive sterling silver clasps. Its great to be able to post here and read other peoples posts. Hi Danielle Let the prices you pay for supplies and price formulas dictate. Silver plate should sell less than sterling silver. April 30, at I have finished my jewelry design studies in Brazil and I want to start my business here in Australia. You have no idea how much your web site is helping me. May 31, at I was so confused about it! You helped me a lot. Now I am sure i will get good profit without any guilt. July 1, at July 16, at I use a software package that has 3 different levels of pricing — Wholesale, Direct, and Retail. In this market, I really DO have a problem with the 6x Retail formula. The prices seem outrageously high. So, most of my sales are around the Direct level or somewhere in between Direct and Retail, depending on what I think the facebook will bear. I suppose I will need to rethink jewelers a bit if I ever want to wholesale or do consignment, something that has been crossing my mind more lately. Thanks for this post that I finally just read! Great article, as are most articles and videos on this site, Rena! July 22, at July 23, at Great pricing system — will have to see how it works out for some of my items.

August 10, at This guideline is similar in how Option priced catering events for my coffee shop. We all want to stay in business! Custom pieces are not for Big Box shoppers. Build your brand base. Soft-lines retailers use a 2. Think like a business, not like a hobbiest and you will always do what you love, and love what you do. This website really helped me re-assess how I approached my selling prices. My time is worth something. Thanks Michelle and Rena too!!! Thanks Rena for getting back to me! Thank you so much! Have a great weekend. August 12, at September 19, at Thanks Rena and everyone else for such great advice on pricing! I do have one question though and that is how do you choose an hourly labor rate? Is there a certain way to do it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated I have absolutely no idea how much I should charge for that on my jewelry, which really kind of stalls me. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you guys soon!! December 13, at I hope one of these days I can use the same sort of formula you have provided. I am starting out on my own handmade jewelry mostly wire and polymer at the moment. I try to keep prices not too high or too low but then sometimes I just wonder if I am even making the higher prices not enough or too high. February 7, at I so appreciate your articles, videos, and you jewelers your advise and expertise. I really respect it, and I look forward to learning a lot from you! You are my teacher. This was so helpful to me as I start out on my entrepreneurial journey with so many questions. Wishing you the best!! April 3, at My friend and I are starting to sell some jewelry; she makes it while I sell facebook and we split the profits Because put this we both take a lower pay, put I was planning on charging a bit more money. For a necklace and earrings the equation ended up having a worth of But will that really sell on a website like etsy? Would it seem unprofessional to start out really high and work our way down? Or to start off on the lower side of pricing and work our way to the more expensive side? I suggest reading all the above comments…they will be a great help for deciding on how you will price. April 20, at Much more expensive, yet I have just recently joined this field and am still working out all the logistics. Thx so much -V. April 21, at Thanks so much for put information option advice. July facebook, at Thank you so much for this. So I was surprised by how much I should mark them up. I fully believe my time and the craftsmanship is true to the price. For example, pendants instead of full necklaces. August 3, at I found this to be a very good tool. Without consider there worth, this gives me the ranges i was looking for. As well as offering me the ability to sell an item at a discount without loosing money. It is hard to compete with china prices and this gives me options…. September 13, at A very good friend and I did consignment as a side hobby for three years before I branched out on my own and started a business at the beginning of this year. She had become too ill to continue and has since passed away. We were only in one shop, plus I sell to friends a little. They do comfortably-sized trunk shows as well. I look at the cost and time overall for an entire line, then come up with a price that covers my time and materials, but the process is still difficult for me, so I am going to try your formula. I do find that earrings are my best product for many reasons. First, they are easy option do assembly-line style, even if they are involved, which cuts down on time spent. The cost of materials is low because there is less material needed. Because they are less expensive, more people buy them, and that winds option recouping some of the loss I put experience option selling a bracelet or necklace that used more material and took more time to make. I rarely repeat designs, but always make sets within limited lines that have a range of price points. That way, people can buy a small piece of a style they like. Rings are a similar area. I will sell a ring for the same price as a pair of earrings because I make the band myself, but there is again a very small amount of material. Again, low materials cost, quick to make, and they sell well because they are inexpensive. Wedding jewelry is a great niche, even though there is a lot of competition. Definitely network with photographers and hairdressers. People will pay well for items for their big day, especially jewelers the quality is good. I did sell several of my veil combs to a high-end bridal shop. You need a range of prices here, too, since not everyone can afford so much. I reproduce some of my designs in all-white and market them for bridal without increasing the price, even though I was encouraged to by some people. I have facebook bridal pieces as my wedding gifts to good friends and relatives and asked them to spread the word. Pricing research on the internet and on Etsy is all over the map, so not as useful as a newbie would like. But sites with articles like this price are wonderful, so thanks again to all of you! November 12, at Pricing is always been my big question. I think of my work right now as practice. February 3, at jewelers I think this is justified because their ideas are usually more time consuming, especilally if I have to locate sources for supplies. February 24, at price Greetings, I was attending jewelers school when I had to flee my malignant narssistic facebook. We never discusses pricing, as they were planning we would become employed by other people. I had a B in design so I price designing right away. I have just made a really super OAK design to b a cast in sterling. This has always been a problem with hiring out casting …. But it is sterling. It is a killer design, but can I realisticly ask that much? Hi Katheryne, prices at that level are not necessarily unrealistic. It mainly depends on the quality of the craftsmanship, the quality of the materials, where and how the piece is presented — put most importantly, whether a customer falls in love with it. March 7, at The formula seems very reasonable, however, but it seems to me that one has to price their products at whatever their market will bear, regardless of your style of product. In my area there is a lot of competition for tourists who want to pay the same prices for jewelry that they pay in less developed countries or from Chinese online sites. All that to say that I think formulas are for those lucky few who have a regular clientele or a stable market. The rest of us are subject to market forces which tend to be pretty brutal at the moment, largely due to a glut of home-based jewelry makers. March 8, at Hi Kenna I set my prices where I feel they should be. Tourists who want to pay the same prices for jewelry that they pay in less developed countries or from Chinese online sites can buy from others. My time, designs and expertise are worth something. My basic attach a non sterling bail to a plain drilled pendant is 4 times the cost. It may seem high but when you calculate your time and your expertise, it should be worth something. And I never ever do put designs the same…different mix of colours…different spacers…different pattern…different mix of shapes. Yes the market is really tough right now. BUT I always am changing how my booth looks. I like to change my overall layout…change the colour of my table toppers…and always have something new for each market year. Which I am hoping to sell as a stand alone piece of jewellery. Have faith that the markets will improve, try to be optimistic and remember your time is worth something. It was a good investment of time. June 23, facebook This is valuable jewelry math to me, Price My primary source for selling my creations is by consignment. I am just a crafter and make jewelry because I enjoy it. Friends and family occasionally ask to buy some of my jewelry, and I am happy to see them wear it. January 19, at Great info,, every one needs a good formula. PS Love your site…. January 28, at Your jewelers is very helpful. March 5, at These are just silver pieces. I urn to work with the precious metals, sterling silver and gold. They are very expensive and I do buy in bulk and not in stores. I do like to display and package my pieces like they have received a nice piece of jewelry. I too donate to a lot of causes and many ask me to display my jewelry at shows and donate for causes. I get the wow look which feels good but I feel bad I charge too much. Thank you everyone for your tips!! I have been making jewelry for 40 years. June 29, at September 30, at I really enjoy price them and I want to make a little bit of money in my free time. I also post how much work goes into one, the beads used, and a warranty. This is a lower price than what Etsy sells them for and does not include the labor. I also include a gift box, a 30 money-back guarantee, and a 6 month fix for free with every Rosary. I really need to sell them so that I have the money to keep making them in my spare time! Hi Sarah, try raising your prices — even double or triple them. See this post and the comments below it: Repositioning Your Unsold Jewelry. Let us know how it works for you! It makes sense though. I will give this a try and see how it goes! December 3, at I have been scouring the internet to help me figure out pricing for my handmade jewelry, but cannot find an answer to my question: What kind of pricing formula should you use if your supplies are bought retail often with discounts due to coupons or sales? Can I facebook get some advice on this? Katie, thanks for asking! If you want to price out your wire by the inch, I would note down the number of inches in each roll of wire you buy. For example, if you have a foot roll of wire, that would be inches. It makes the math so much easier. December 19, at I have such a thought time pricing. I already use beads in only glass, crystals, woods and ceramic so my beads are already good not extra expensive gem stones and such, but not cheap dollar store stuff either so half my work is nicer than what Option price it for and the only thing keeping me at that price line is the market and my lower end metals. Is anyone here having this same problem? Maybe I need to hurry up and open an online store to see if that fairs better; but even then pricing scares me to death! December 21, at I also wonder if I am underpricing myself and still in my first year of selling jewelry, I do not want to under nor overprice myself. I use a similar pricing method as mentioned in this post, but I also take into consideration my market and the target group. December 28, at So if you buy at wholesale prices do you use the actual lower wholesale price you paid or the price that the general public can buy at. I would love to put your thoughts on this. Can you please advise. My husband had a business and he told me that yes you are throwing your time away by charging the lower price. February 9, at How do I figure out how to determine what each piece should cost. How do I set prices at this point? Hi Rena love your name! June 13, at Thank you for this. I thought it would be too high but njo! Rena, this formula has been so helpful! I am a newbie and was wondering about this same thing on how to price your finished pieces!
