Most handmade jewellery is priced on what the metal and stones cost, because that's the number you can see. Workshop puts your bench time and overhead into the figure too – so every piece you make earns properly.
A module in Gilded · on the Maker ($19) and Pro plans
A maker knows what the gold and the stones cost. What gets lost is the design time, the setting, the polishing – the hours that are the actual craft. Price on materials alone and you can be busy, sold out and still not covering your own labour.
Listing a piece at $295 feels right when the materials were $256. But that price gives away three and a half hours at the bench for $39. Workshop shows you the moment it happens – and what the piece should sell for instead.
Four steps, and the finished piece lands in your inventory ready to list – carrying its true cost.
Record metal by weight and purity, stones, findings and consumables as you buy them, with supplier and cost. Gilded keeps a running cost per gram or per unit.
Draw down the materials a piece uses and log your bench hours. Your labour rate and workshop overhead are applied automatically.
Materials + labour + overhead gives the real number – shown beside materials-only, so the gap between the two is impossible to miss.
The finished piece becomes a normal inventory item at its true cost, with a recommended price per channel and the full costing breakdown attached.
Everything you make from, in one place – with what it's worth and what's running low.
Every build resolves to a true cost and a recommended price that already accounts for your selling channel's fees and the margin you set.
Workshop doesn't sit in a corner. A finished piece is a normal inventory item from the moment it's built.
Tag it, list it, sell it like anything else – at a cost that finally reflects the work in it.
Sales and profit reporting counts your labour, so you can see which designs actually pay and which are hobbies.
Made pieces carry their metal content, so scrap-vs-sell gives them a floor price like any other item.
Gilded was built inside a real jewellery business by people who know what it is to pour hours into a piece and then undercharge for it. Workshop exists because too many makers quietly subsidise their own craft – and we would rather you got paid for the work.
Underneath, it is the same serious engine that runs the full Gilded platform, tuned for the bench. Community heart, powerhouse behind it. It is being shaped now, with makers, before launch – so tell us what your workshop actually needs.
The Workshop module is part of Gilded, on the Maker and Pro plans, from $19 a month. Register your interest and help shape it.
