How much does custom jewelry production cost — what drives the price

The price of a piece is not a single number but the sum of several factors. Here is what really drives the cost of jewelry production and how to prepare for a quote.

Four components of the price

The cost of custom jewelry production is driven mainly by four elements: material, labour, process and finishing and volume. Understanding them helps you compare offers and plan a budget.

Material — the biggest variable

The price of metal is usually the most volatile item, as it depends on the current rate and the weight of the piece. We work in 925 silver, 585 and 750 gold and titanium. See: silver jewelry manufacturer, gold jewelry and titanium jewelry.

Process and finishing

Cost also depends on complexity: casting, CNC machining, laser engraving and electroplating — rhodium and gold plating. The more detail and handwork, the higher the unit cost.

Volume (MOQ)

The larger the run, the lower the cost per piece — setup costs (3D model, moulds) spread across more items. We handle both trial runs and custom production and private label up to 15,000–25,000 pieces a month.

How to get a reliable quote

For a quote, prepare: a design or reference photo, the chosen material and fineness, an approximate volume and a budget. The more information, the more accurate the offer. We prepare quotes individually and free of charge.
