Our areas of expertiseCustom price
What determines the price?
Each job is unique. The price arises from the design, the materials chosen and the craftsmanship required.
We work with the following basis
For a rough indication, you can also check Margriet Jewels’ webshop.
Webshop MargrietjewelsMaterial
The metal and gemstones chosen have a great influence on the price.
Think gold in 18 karat or 14 karat, silver or platinum. The color such as yellow, red or white gold also plays a role. The current gold price works directly into the cost price of the jewelry.
Complexity
The technique and number of working hours determine much of the price.
A simple ring requires less time than a design with fine detail, relief or a unique shape. The more complex the design, the more craftsmanship and time goes into it.
Engraving
Engraving is specialized work and requires precision.
The technique, depth and size of the engraving determine the amount of work. Think flat engraving, relief engraving or a personal monogram.
Gemstone
The quality, origin and size of gemstones play a big role in the price.
We work with carefully selected stones and always openly discuss the possibilities. It is also possible to supply your own stones.
More than just a piece of jewelry
