What makes jewelry pricing different
Jewelry is light and cheap to ship, so postage rarely decides the margin. Two other things do: your bench time, which is often more than the materials, and metal prices, which move. The calculator splits a batch into metal, findings and stones, adds paid labor, and divides by finished pieces so you can see which part of the price is time and which is material.
Use the batch fields for a run of the same design. For one-of-a-kind pieces, enter a batch of one.
Worked example: 10 sterling silver pendants
Metal and chain $68, findings and clasps $14, stones $32, and 5 hours of bench time at $25/hour. Costs are illustrative.
| Materials (metal, findings, stones) | $114 |
| Paid bench time | $125 |
| Cost per pendant (÷ 10) | $23.90 |
One pendant sells for $48 with free shipping:
| Order revenue | $48 |
| Etsy fees | −$5.01 |
| Pendant cost | −$23.90 |
| Gift box, pouch, card | −$2.25 |
| Postage (padded mailer, tracked) | −$4.85 |
| Profit per order | $11.99 (25.0%) |
Bench time is 52.3% of the pendant's cost. If you drop it from the price, the listing looks very profitable, but only because you are working for free.
Jewelry costs to check
- Metal price changes. Recalculate after each restock for silver and gold-fill pieces.
- Sizes and lengths. A longer chain or larger ring size uses more metal. Price variants separately.
- Personalization. Engraving or initials add time per order, not per batch. Add it as extra minutes on personalized variants.
- Insured shipping. For higher-value pieces, tracking and insurance cost more than a standard mailer. Enter the real postage for those orders.
Pricing the listing
Use the suggested price for your target margin as the floor, then judge it against comparable listings. Jewelry is often bought as a gift, so presentation supports a higher price than material cost alone. If you run Etsy Ads or have Offsite Ads sales, test the price with the Offsite Ads calculator. The Etsy pricing guide covers the full method.
