What this sheet is for

Work out a price, a repeat or a repair from what the piece actually took in metal, stones and hours, instead of from memory.

Who it is for

Jewellers and silversmiths making one-off or small-run pieces, students keeping a bench record, and makers who sell and need to know what a piece cost them.

How to use it

  1. Name the piece and who it is for, with the metal, size, stones and hallmark packet reference as they become known.
  2. List every material as it is used — sheet, wire, tube, stones, findings — with specification, quantity or weight, supplier and cost.
  3. Log each bench session as a stage with the hours and the consumables used.
  4. Note what went wrong and what fixed it; that is the line you will want next time.
  5. Total the hours and materials at the foot, sketch the piece, and file the sheet with the photograph.

Questions

Is there a pricing formula on the sheet?

No. What you charge for your hours and how you mark up materials is your own decision. The sheet gives you the true inputs — hours, metal weight, stone and finding costs — and a blank for the price you settled on.

Where do the hallmark details go?

The packet reference goes in the header, and the full submission is on the Hallmark and Assay Submission Record, so one packet of several pieces is only written up once.
