Labor – $59.00 1st piece + $12.00 per additional piece + cost of metal
Resin waxes have a limit on the size of flask we can use so if multiple pieces, they may need to be done with extra flasks. Each new flask incurs a new Labor charge.
*Our metal pricing is based on Imperial Smelting’s casting grain rates
**Charges depend on the complexity of the job at hand.

Our metal pricing is based on Imperial Smelting’s casting grain rates
Silver is typically $1.50 and $0.35 for bronze per gram
Wax injection fees not included in labor charges, or if sprue’s needed for multiple silver castings.
*$1.00 up to $5 per injection.
*Complex sprue or complex injections may be higher.
Labor cost on bringing in your own metal is 3x. Casting with outside metal may not be as good because we aren’t testing your metal for impurities and are casting it as is. If the casting doesn’t work, or has any porosity you will still be charged the labor fee and we aren’t responsible for any wax replication. However for casting/creating a ring that is sentimental or from a loved one we at least offer that as a service to isolate it.
The Flask fee for casting metal provided to us is triple labor as it’s more work to isolate the item, keep the metal separate, takes up more space in the oven and cast in its own flask, account for the gold, etc.
We can take the gold/metal as payment against what we cast as an alternative.
Cost of metal+ $8.00/gram Labor
$10.00 minimum charge for laser weld repairs
From Wax or Metal – $45.00 and up + depending on the size/intricacy of the item
$1.50+ per item but up to $5 for very complex items
