Hello to everyone,

    I hope this question comes through, it is a bit difficult to put
    into a couple of sentences...here goes. 

    A gallery I do their stringing repair work for has a customer who
    would like a necklace designed and strung. The owner of the gallery
    and the customer decided what the necklace will consist of but not
    how it will be strung. Here is where I come in. 

    I ordered the beads, findings etc. on my account to make the
    necklace.(wholesale of course) 

    Designed the piece and strung it. 

    I have some beads and findings left over that I am going to give the
    customer, after all she is paying for them. 

    Say that..
    1.The beads cost me $30.00 (wholesale)
    2. Findings cost me $15.00 (wholesale)
    3. My time in designing and stringing

    Should the invoice to the gallery owner read:
    1. Beads used $60.00
    2. Finding used $30.00
    3. Designing and stringing necklace $15.00

    Another words, it is as if the gallery's customer is buying the
    materials used in creating her necklace from me at keystone price
    and I am breaking out the stringing portion so that the gallery
    owner can mark it up as she wishes? 

    I apologize if this is very confusing but I did not know how to word
    it properly. 

Thank you for any advice on this one,
Laurie
