Brooches Pricing Guide
Pricing brooches can sometimes be difficult as there may be variations in cutting or engraving or different metals that causes the brooch to fall outside these guidelines. Not all brooches can be made in a small size nor can some of them be made in a large size. Pricing is generally in increments of 1/4” at 5.00 for the next 1/4” increment. This does not sound like much of a size increase but remember that it is 1/4” in every direction so each increment is noticeably larger. As a guide, the following prices would apply to *German silver---brass---copper or bronze
1 3/4” size is $40.00
2” size is $45.00
2 1/4” size is $50.00 Prices for* German silver, brass, copper & bronze
2 1/2” size is $56.00 in a polished or antiqued finish.
2 3/4” size is $62.00
3” size is $70.00 Prices for sterling silver are double the listed prices
3 1/4” size is $76.00
Some larger brooches have many cuts or engraving the following general price guide would be as follows:
3 1/2” size is $82.00
3 3/4” size is $88.00 * German silver is a base metal with no actual silver content.
4” size is $96.00 It was an invented metal composite in Germany around
4 1/4” size is $102.00 1820 and was used in the very late fur trade period. The
4 1/2” size is $108.00 advantage to German silver, sometimes referred to
4 3/4” size is $115.00 as nickel silver, is the lower cost factor and the fact
5” size is $123.00 that it is nearly identical to sterling silver in looks.
I will advise if any requests may fall out of this Pricing Guide.
