Hi there, Yes, it does seem way too cheap. Enamels are an interesting thing. My father used to always say, "Price it so that you are happy to see it go." This has worked well for me for 30 years. Some pieces sold for a nickle an hour some for $100 an hour. I have a formula which keeps me at starving artist level...
Wholesale Price: Materials X 1.5 + Hours X $30. Of course this doesn't figure in the costs of doing business so who knows what the real hourly wage is. Perhaps less than minimum.
Thomas Mann is a jeweler who teaches pricing workshops. Any one know his address?

Yes, please send photos, you can post them here using the file space at the bottom of your reply!! How easy is that?
