Do the math yourself
Most custom jewellers forget to charge for design consultations, revision calls, and client emails. Set your numbers. See what that silence is costing you.
Think: initial design consultation, back-and-forth emails, revision calls, picking up materials. It adds up.

Gold price moves are on top of this. If spot moves $3/g and your average piece uses 5g, that is another $15+ per job you do not capture with a stale spreadsheet.
What you get
One flat price covers the full system, plus hands-on help getting your pricing set up correctly from the start.
Gold, silver and platinum prices updated every 5 minutes from multiple sources. Every quote uses today's rate, not last week's.
Describe the piece in plain English. GemQuote fills karat, weight, stones and services automatically. Then you confirm and send.
Your logo, your margins, your message. Professional quote document emailed directly to your client from GemQuote.
What custom jewellers actually charge for common job types, based on real industry data. Reference it when you are not sure where to set your margin.
A pre-built spreadsheet sized for solo and small shops. Enter your rent, tools, insurance and time. Know your real cost per hour before your next quote.
