How to calculate the cost of jewelry casting
Approximate formula for silver, brass and bronze: model weight × metal factor × (metal value per gram + labor cost per gram netto) + VAT 23% + shipping.
Silver, brass and bronze
Reference work for silver, brass and bronze: from 5 zł/g net. The work includes VAT 23%, the cost of metal and delivery. We confirm the final amount after checking the model, weight, material and volume.
gold
For gold, work starts from 16 zł/g net + VAT. We do not fix the value of the metal as an indefinite static fact: we confirm the current price of gold and alloy on the day of settlement before payment.
What is important
The price of the metal is fixed on the day of payment of the order. The final amount is confirmed after checking the model, weight, material and casting risks.
What is included in the calculation
Preliminary assessment includes model checking, metal reference, casting work, result control and packaging. Metal, VAT, delivery, urgency or additional processing, if required for a specific order, are calculated separately.
Why don't we set one fixed price for everyone
Two models of the same weight can have different risks: thin walls, stones, openwork elements, native metal or complex geometry affect preparation and control. Therefore, the task of the first assessment is not to surprise with the amount at the end, but to agree on clear conditions before the launch.
What to write in the request
It is enough to indicate the material, the number of models, the approximate weight, the city, the desired term and whether it is a test batch or a regular volume. If the data is missing, we will tell you what is needed for a more accurate calculation.
