Factors That Affect Cost

There are various factors which affect it. Let’s look at some of them below.

Material

Material of the jewelry can highly affect its price. A jewelry piece can be gold, silver, platinum, and so on. In addition to this, it can be an alloy. Apart from this, there are also other metals like brass or stainless steel which are used in jewelry. But they aren’t that popular. Their price is also considered to be very low.

Gems

Apart from material, the second factor is gemstones and precious stones. Jewelry often has embedded stones in them. This can be diamond, it can be precious stones, in fact it can also be gemstones. Each of these stones come at their own rate. In fact, precious stones are quite in trend these days. Based on which stone you choose in your jewelry, the total price of custom jewelry is highly affected.

Purity

Jewelry material comes in different purity levels. For instance, gold is seen in 14K, 18K, 20K, 22K, and so on. This shows the purity level of gold and percentage of its alloy. This is something that we see in platinum as well as silver and other metals too. You see, what happens here is, the alloy with less purity is cheaper and more durable. For instance, 14K gold jewelry is considerably cheaper than 22K. Reason being 22K has more parts of gold than 14K. This is how it affects the total cost of custom jewelry.

Weight

Weight of the custom jewelry is yet another factor that affects its cost. For instance, if the jewelry is light, it will be cheaper, and the heavier one would be more expensive. Reason being that, the jewelry as they get heavier shows that more material is used in it. That’s how the weight affects custom jewelry cost.

Design

Custom jewelry’s main feature is that it has a custom design. This is the factor that can highly affect the total cost. This is the reason why complex custom jewelry design is more expensive.  That’s how this becomes an important factor that can highly affect the total cost of jewelry.

Craftsmanship & Expertise  

In other words, jewelry with better craftsmanship and expertise will always charge more. This can significantly ramp up the custom jewelry cost and price. That’s what makes it an important factor.

Type

1.    Ring

2.    Earring

3.    Necklace

4.    Chains

5.    Bracelets
