You often buy jewelry, but you don’t know how the cost of jewelry is calculated?

Jewelry price structure

The typical cost of jewelry is:

Main stone + gold weight + matching stone fee + labor fee + design fee

The prices of finished jewellery vary widely:

Cartier, Tiffany and other international first-line brands price = cost × (10-12) times (no discount)

Price of China's big brands = cost × (5-8) times (there will be discounts)

Price of a medium-sized store in China = cost × (4-6) times (there will be a 4-5% discount)

Main Stone:

There is no standard for the price of the main stone and the price of jadeite, but the price marked in shopping malls usually is divided by 4-5 (some have to be divided by 8). However, now the prices in shopping malls are too harsh and they are directly 10% off and still very expensive, so after deducting the 10% off, the price is probably the bottom price. Also, you should compare more, look more and buy less, as gemstones are most afraid of comparison.

Gold weight:

The weight of gold is naturally easy to calculate. The gold price for the day can be obtained by multiplying the weight. However, there will be losses when making jewelry, so the price will generally be a little higher than the gold price.

Matching Stone:

Depending on the design requirements, some small stones are sometimes inlaid to increase the beauty and grandeur of the jewelry.

Cost:

The labor cost for an ordinary ring is only two to four hundred yuan.

Design Fee

This concept is still relatively unfamiliar, but in the fields of architecture, home decoration, and industry design fees have been widely accepted. Including design fee and plate making fee.

Take a jade ring as an example, let’s take a look at the rough composition of jewelry costs:

Main stone: A green jade ring face costs between 300-1000 yuan (different sizes, different colors, and different prices). The median value is approximately 800 yuan.

Gold weight: about 5 grams, gold price is 310 yuan per gram, the price is: 5×230=1150 yuan.

Matching stones: Inlaid with small diamonds, priced at 500 yuan.

Design fee: Design fee is 300 yuan, plate making fee (single design, single plate making) is 300 yuan, a total of 600 yuan.

Labor cost: 200 yuan. Gold jewelry usually costs 20-30 yuan per gram of gold.

In total, the cost of this ring is:

=Main stone + gold weight + matching stone fee + labor fee + design fee

=800＋1150＋500＋600＋200

=3250 yuan

The price of the main stone is determined by the gem itself. For example, one carat of ruby ​​or sapphire generally costs from a few hundred to two or three thousand. Unheated royal blue and unheated pigeon blood red are more expensive. One carat of sapphire royal blue costs about four to five thousand, and pigeon blood red costs a little more than ten thousand. The price difference of two carats can be quite large. Most emeralds are filled with oil, but that’s not a problem. The price of one carat can range from a few hundred to around ten thousand depending on the color, which is a huge difference. A one carat cat's eye is relatively cheap, and a chrysoberyl cat's eye can be bought for around one thousand yuan. A two carat cat's eye is much more expensive, costing about two to three thousand yuan per carat. The price of diamonds is closely related to their weight and color, and the price difference is quite large.
