How Much Will it Cost to Assemble My Jewelry in the USA?

How Much Will it Cost to Assemble My Jewelry in the USA?

We charge per piece and have no minimum. The complexity of the piece and the time it takes from start to finish determines the price. We ask that you send a sample, the materials and directions to assemble the pieces so that we can give you an accurate price and you can see our fine work. We also offer some advice or technique tips to make the piece work better for you. We will send back the finished samples and wait to hear from you.
