Custom Casting | Phase 1

Custom Casting    Process Cost Phase 1 Design Phase. This is when we get all the information to make your custom pieces. We ask for sketches or photos of your design. We also need dimensions such as height x width x length. Once the design is done we will send a photo for approval. If a revision is required, we will make the necessary changes and re-send for approval. Only one design change is permitted. Once we have approval we cannot make any more design changes. This is a one time charge per design. The Design Phase typically takes 2 weeks. Services include the following: CAD Design 3D Printing Master Creating a Mold 1 Sample Piece  $350.00 Phase 2 Casting Phase. This is when we begin casting your pieces. You can choose between 925 sterling silver and brass. This is the production phase where we shoot the wax, create the tree, cast, snip, polish, clean and quality check. This process will typically take 4-5 weeks. The charges are based on weight. For instance, if a piece weighs 1 gram and you choose 925 sterling silver the price will be $6.00/gram x 1 gram = $6.00 per piece.      925 Sterling Silver $6.00 per gram   Brass $3.00 per gram Phase 3 Plating Phase. This is an optional phase where you can choose your plating. We have two options: Regular plating and Micron Plating. Regular plating will have 1-2 microns of gold. Micron plating will have 2-3 microns of gold. For jewelry that will be constantly worn, we recommend micron plating. If the pieces are well kept and not exposed to chemicals such as lotions, chlorine, etc the plating can last for years and years. We can plate in Yellow, Rose, Black, White, and Sand Blast finish. This is an additional charge to the casting charge. For instance, if a piece weighs 1 gram and you choose 925 sterling silver and regular plating the price will be $7.75/gram ($6.00 for casting & $1.75 for plating) x 1 gram = $7.75 per piece.     Plating (18K Gold) $1.75 per gram   Micron Plating | Longer Lasting (18K Gold) $3.00 per gram Terms & Conditions Min order of 100 pcs per design Customer is responsible for all shipping costs Payment will be required before beginning each Phase
