Hi there,

    Here's how I do my pricing, my work is very "very" detailed
    beadwork, I use the very best materials. Pearl, Swarovski, Gemstones
    etc I charge my hourly rate, and then just add the wholesale
    materials price, from some of the mails I have read, I feel I should
    be charging more for materials. 

    What percentage should I put on top?? 100% or more??? The reason I
    hesitate on charging more for materials is........well the finished
    pieces work out expensive, although that shouldn't be a worry, they
    cost what they cost right? 

    I would really appreciate some advice. 

Thanks soooooo much!
