    One of my reasons for asking for this oppinion is that I'm trying to
    set up a FileMaker Pro database for my gemstone inventory and then
    one that will connect to that for price calculation to give me a raw
    cost+work price which can then be adjusted up or down depending on
    the artistic value. I've generally undervalued my work, so this way,
    I can use the mathematical formula to at least give me a ballpark
    figure to work with. With doing silver filigree though, most of the
    value is in the work rather than the materials.
