Common questions
Fine jewelry retailers typically target 50-65% gross margin (2x to 3x markup). Fashion jewelry and silver can run 60-75%. Custom one-of-a-kind pieces often hit 65-75%. If your margin is below 40%, review your pricing. That level rarely covers rent, insurance, marketing, and labor in a brick-and-mortar setting.
Gross margin is revenue minus direct costs (materials, labor, production). Net margin subtracts everything: rent, utilities, marketing, insurance, taxes, salaries. A jeweler might have 55% gross margin but only 10-15% net margin after all expenses. This tool calculates gross margin.
If your margin is below 40% on most pieces, you're likely underpricing. Other signs: you're always busy but cash flow is tight, you can't afford to hire help, or you defer equipment maintenance. Track your actual overhead per piece (not just materials) and make sure your margin covers it.
Online stores typically have lower overhead (no retail rent) but higher marketing costs (paid ads, SEO, photography). Most successful online jewelers target similar gross margins (50-60%) but achieve higher net margins because fixed costs are lower. Shipping, returns, and payment processing fees eat into the difference.
This tool works in reverse. The pricing calculator starts with costs and markup to determine selling price. This tool starts with selling price and costs to analyze whether your margin is healthy. Use both: the pricing calculator to set prices, this tool to audit existing prices.
