What Is a Gold Making Charge?

Meaning

The making charge covers design, craft, finishing and the work that turns metal into jewellery. It may be fixed, per gram, percentage-based or combined.

Price structure

A final price may include metal value adjusted for purity, making and artistic charges, profit and applicable tax. These elements should be transparent on the invoice.

Compare carefully

Equal weight does not mean equal price because craftsmanship and complexity differ.
