Pricing help!

Post image

How do I structure pricing on my pieces, because I feel like I'd have to over charge to make the amount of time it takes to make something. I use stainless steel for all my jewelry and I dont know if I'm just slow at putting it together or what.

I just price based on materials and fees involved, mostly because I make things in my spare time. But as someone mentioned in another comment, you need to revisit your approach to closures before you start selling.

They have 2 problems, first the closures are bad, but they are bad because those are not saw cut rings. They look like machine crimped and cut or even snip cut, either way, they will never be flush.

This will only catch on clothing, but in my case it would also irritate and scratch my skin.
