The most important concept about small stones (diamonds and colored stones) is the handling, selection and sorting for sizes and quality to fit the jewelry requirement. These tasks are creating labor costs, stock and rejections and it represents a liability as well. Therefore small diamonds selected and sorted cannot be compared in prices with wholesale prices for lots of average sizes and qualities. The difference with lot-price would be around 15% to 20% after sorting (markup for workshop excluded, this is our costs.).
Consignment:
The task and the liability are the same whether the stones are supplied by the customer or by a supplier. Therefore we apply the same charges of 15% to 20% on small goods provided by customers. Larger and costly stones will have the consignment fee down to 10% or 5% depending on the value. We base the value on our own estimates for similar goods if we were to provide them ourselves.
The gain for the customer is still important when providing his own stones because the margin of the workshop does not applying on the value of the materials (saving 15% to 25%) and if the customer could buy at better price than we would he can save even more..
* Imported goods to Thailand are subject to 7% VAT and 5% to 20% import tax based on the declared value depending on matérials, but matérials specific to jewelry can have their import tax waived totally or limited to 3%-5%. We will provide the custom duty documents to the customer and collect the payment before clearing customs duties to receive the goods. For small amount we might pay for custom duty and collect money later.
Reminder:
Our quotations are based on real labor and material costs, then we apply a margin of:
- Gold Jewelry : +20% based on our costs (which is 15% profit based on selling price to customer).
- Silver Jewelry : +33% based on our costs (which is 25% profit based on selling price to customer).
When buying large quantities the customer can accumulate up to -10% discount
