Chris Parry of Bespoke Jewellry made an amazing spreadsheet that helps you calculate overhead, depreciation and many other factors that should be considered when pricing your handcrafted items!
“One of the hardest things for a crafter to do , is to get to grips with pricing their work.
I have attempted to create an easy to use spreadsheet, that will give you your retail price for your item. It may need revisions when/if anyone points out an error or something that can be improved.
Please leave a comment on the spreadsheet here. I will happily make amendments as and when required and time allows.
The currency is donated in £’s but just ignore that symbol and enter your numbers. It will work the same whatever your currency.” more…
My site isn’t up and running yet. Still in the finishing phases. I would love to have a copy of your jewelry pricing spreadsheet! Because right now, I don’t have a clue.
Thanks!

Thanks!
I love your blog site. I started one myself on NING. Would it be OK to link to your blog from mine?
Please check out my site http://thejewelryclassroom.ning.com. I have only had it up for a few months and already have over 100 members from around the world.
I have been teaching and making jewelry over 30 years. My site shows work of the members, at least those who have put their photos up. I am writing “how to” tutorials and videos on silver smithing.
Your work is very beautiful.
How well has Etsy done for you? I have thought about using it, but have been hesitant. I used http://www.wholesalecrafts.com for a while but the price point sells are too low for my work, and I didn’t sell enough for the monthly cost.
Hi Janet,
Feel free to link to me, I would love that =) I will try to make a feature post for your site, it looks really cool! I am excited to watch your videos, I signed up today. I like etsy, it took a while to get established I end up paying about 30% in fees. The main way to get sales (for me) on etsy is renewing items, which costs $.20/item each time you renew. This causes you renewed item to show up higher in etsy’s search engine, so for a few moments you show up on page 1 of the jewelry search.
Thanks for your compliments! Do you have any suggestions on how to flush set square diamonds into 14k gold?

I linked my site to yours.
As far as flushing mounting square diamonds, I’m at a loss. When you set one you have to drill a small hole in each prong so that the corner of the diamond has space so as not to hurt the stone.
would love a spreadsheet i’m 17 and i’m starting my own jewelry business
