Gemstone Pendants
how much is reasonable to spend on a custom design pendant?

I have the gemstones to put in them already and i was thinking of having them done in white gold. what’s a reasonable price?

Determining a reasonable price on a custom piece of jewelry is tricky, there are several things to think about. One is how much the gemstone/s going into the jewelry are worth, because if they are not valuable gemstones or something that is meaningful it may not be worth it. When you make a custom piece of jewelry, you are probably going to end up paying a few hundred dollars just on having someone create the design, mold, and wax. Then you will have to pay for the metal and work going into it (it gets pricey, especially for just a few pieces). There is no real answer, because it in the end depends on the value it is to you.

Another great alternative is to find settings online that you can purchase and have your gemstones set into, it still creates a great unique look because they are your gemstones, but is MUCH more affordable. Places like Jamming Gems has several different setting styles you can choose from, and even have setting services available.
