    I can tell you how we do it, though I'm newer than most people here
    to this. 

    We start figuring the process before the cabs are made. We had
    weighed out different sizes (now we keep a list in our jewelry
    program to choose the size and the price is charged per weight for
    the metal shape. Same for bezel strips or wire. Stone is either
    weighed or priced based on purchase, which is inputted into our
    program as well. Then we choose the applicable charge listed, which
    considers cost, time, and a multiplication factor based on the pieces
    and who we're selling it to...wholesale or retail, etc. 

Good luck!
Kim
