    Default pricing handmade gold jewellery

    Hi.

    I am working on the price structure.

    I get this for silver
    2-x (supplies )+ labor + overhead
    Then +30% is wholesale
    2.5x is retail. Shops are charging Retail + Vat

    But when I did to gold jewellery, the price was too high.
    Do you all use different furmular for gold jewellery to silver jewellery?

    I wonder if I do this for gold.
    1.5 x (supplies) + labor + overhead
    Then +30% is wholesale
    2.5x is retail. Shops are charging Retail + Vat

    Then for my online store,

    1.5 x (supplies + labor + overhead)
    2.5x is retail. Shops are charging Retail + Vat


    For your online store, I was trying to skip 30% on wholesale?

    Ideally the retail price and online store price should match. but it feels to the price in online end up too hight to sell.

    Any opinions are more than welcome to hear.

    Thank you
    Gina

    While a formula is useful as a guide, the price of anything - anything - is only what someone else is willing to pay. Unique and fabulous stuff deserves a commensurate price - but at the same time what good is that commensurate price if nothing sells.
    Conversely never sell too cheap. Turn over is vanity. profit is sanity. When I started I competed on price, then a friend told me he expected to pay well for great quality pearls. It was a lesson I really did learn.
    Pricing so that items sell reasonably well is the aim - very very hard to achieve in practice!

    If you are getting that for your silver and selling ok you are doing pretty well.
    You should actually be able to get a higher percentage profit on gold but you will likely need to find a new audience.
    People who buy silver are generally not the same people who buy gold IME.
