To calculate cost, first calculate all weights for all items needed. Then refer to the chart below to calculate cost per dwt in each type of material.

Multiply the market price by the factor to find cost per Dwt of material. Discounts do apply for immediate payment and or large orders. Small orders will reflect a "fabrication" or labor charge of $3.00 per Dwt above actual gold cost. Orders above 100 Dwt total will be charged at rate that is $2.00 per Dwt above the actual gold content. 500 Dwt total orders are charged a rate of $1.00 above he actual gold content in each material.
