Hand engraving price lists

Jewelry Discussion
1

I have a friend that is an extremely talented hand engraver. He
currently works in a retail jewelry store and does his hand engraving
on the side. He wants to hand engrave full time but is unsure of the
going rates for his work, he is surely undercharging now. Can anyone
hook me up with a couple of price lists from elsewhere in the country
(to avoid fear of helping the competition). He is really a great
person and is wasting his talents changing batteries and selling
chains. I would like to help him use his talents and the price lists
will give him a good starting point.

Thanks Mark P.

Mark, an associate of mine who engraves full- time says that
engravers make $50 an hour and are in high demand. He is booked a year
in advance and lives in Ventura. You can also e-mail the engravers
guild at mwdub@aol.com or go to their web site at http://www.fega.com

I haven’t been to that site, hope it works-Peter Slone
