I love this rope

I can see how jewelry can be addicting, after getting this chain i want another one and a gold presidential rollie lol aint got 10k laying around though

I love this rope

Much appreciated. Probably wont be making many more of these due to the amount of time and money in labor it took to set all the stones. It has a total of 30ct in SI1 diamonds. One of a kind piece for sure.

Ya man you don't wanna be one of those dudes that clean out their bank account for a piece of jewelry. Honestly though if i bought a gold Rolex i would have to insure that puppy. The 36mm Day date is a beauty though.

If im getting a 14k 12g piece made how much gold should i bring the goldsmith ? 12g ? 13g ? Do you lose weight when melting and casting ?

no weight is lost but you will need more than 12 grams because of the sprues. You shouldn't have to pay for that though as they will cut those off and keep them.

K cool. You mentioned casting grain so i looked into it and that's what i'm gonna buy to give the goldsmith instead of scrap gold. The 14k casting grain is $24/g US for anything under 15 grams do you think that's a good price ?

 

[bostongeorge]

Yup that's what 10k looks like next to 24k

It makes it look like Fake gold

When gold was 1108/ozt, I cast 2 pendants. the labor cost on each was $4. The cost per dwt for 14k yg was 40.82, which is about 26.25 per gram. If buying casting grain and giving it to your guy costs less than 26.25 per gram then that seems fine.

Labor cost $4 ? How lol ? This guy is charging me $200 start to finish (Mold, cast, polish) if i give him the gold. This is an actual jewelry store though.

that seems a bit high but hard to say if i don't know what you're trying to do. feel free to pm me details or post them here,  i might be able to help you get it done cheaper.

the mold cost me a flat $30 and polishing cost me $15 in labor (per piece)
