Method: cost = stone + metal weight x price per gram + labour hours x hourly cost + other costs. Markup = price - cost, and the multiple is price divided by cost. Cost plus 35 percent adds 35 percent of cost, the margin StellaBela states on its own pieces. Every figure is your estimate, so the result is only as good as they are.
