For prices on faceting, cabs, and carvings, let me know what you want and I'll be glad to give you a price.
I'll need to know what gem you want, or if you don't know for sure, I have stock on most popular species and I'll advise you based on the project and colored stone(s) that will work with your taste and budget.
I do custom flat and concave faceting, cabochons, inlay and intaglio, reverse intaglio, relief and three dimensional carvings. I work with most of the popular gem species and can advise you on suitable stones for your project, availability of rough, design and so forth. I can design and create a piece that is uniquely yours!
Inlay
For Inlay, I especially like to use black jade, black onyx, and lapis for inlay in 14k gold. I also offer many other inaly stones as well, such as mother of pearl, sugilite, opal, agate, turquoise, and so on. I only use the finest stones, as this type of cutting is very time consuming, and there's nothing worse than spending hours on a project and then seeing a flaw develop in the final polishing. Prices below are based on complexity of shape and surface contour of the metal piece to be inlaid.
I cut SOLID inlay only - no chips & dips! No epoxy and powder sandwiches!
Inlay in straight sided channel, rectangular pieces with no curves. Minimum $65
Inlay with straight sides and compound contour on top
Minimum $75
Inlay with straight sides and compound contour on top and bottom
Minimum $85
Inlay curved sides and compound contour, twists, complex cuboids etc. Minimum $125
