Pricing

Markup

Markup

Markup is where your company’s margin policy lives: the percentages you add on top of cost, saved once and kept with the rest of your pricing settings. Run ArtisanMarkup or click Markup in the ribbon and a floating window opens over Rhino.

A piece has two costs, and each one gets its own markup: the setting — everything except the main stone, so the metal and its small stones — and the main stone. Together they make the sale price:

Sale price = (setting cost + setting markup) + (stone cost + stone markup)

The profile starts with an Info section — a Name and Notes, so the profile says whose numbers these are. Every section after it has the same switch: Fixed is a single percentage, Dynamic lets the percentage follow the piece. How it works, on the section header, unfolds the full explanation, and where it helps a line under the switch works an example with the numbers you type.

Setting markup

  • Fixed adds the same markup to every setting.
  • Dynamic shows ten tiers, from 100%–90% down to 10%–0%: how much of the piece’s cost comes from the main stone. A ring that is mostly diamond can carry a different setting markup than one that is mostly metal.

The share is the stone’s cost divided by the cost of stone plus setting, before any markup. A diamond of 9,500 on a setting of 500 is 95% of the piece, so that ring falls in the 100%–90% tier; with that tier at 150%, the setting sells for 1,250 and the diamond is marked up separately. Pieces without a main stone use the 10%–0% tier.

Natural diamonds markup

The main stone sells at its cost plus this markup, on top of the setting price.

  • Fixed adds the same percentage to every stone.
  • Dynamic opens a table of shape by carat range, so a 1 ct oval can carry a different margin than a 0.5 ct round.

The All shapes row is the base and has to be complete. A shape row only needs the cells you want to differ: an empty cell shows, dimmed, the All shapes value it uses. The first range also takes stones under 0.30 ct.

Lab-grown diamonds markup

The same form, for lab-grown diamonds, which usually carry a different margin than natural ones. Until you save the profile with values of their own they follow the natural diamond settings: what you see is a copy you can change.

Colored gemstones markup

  • Fixed adds the same percentage to every stone.
  • Dynamic sets the percentage by cost range only — no gem type, carat, shape or quality.

Costs are in your company currency, the one chosen in Breakdown Settings. Each range runs from the previous bound up to its own, and the last one is open-ended: a gemstone that costs 200, with 150% in the 100 – 300 range, sells for 500. Add range inserts a row and the ✕ at its end removes it; every bound has to be higher than the one before it.

Saving

Accept stores the profile; Cancel discards the changes. The values are saved globally for your installation — in the same pricing folder as Breakdown Settings and Taxes — not inside the Rhino document, so every design prices against the same policy.
