Example: 14K yellow 2mm x 2mm x 2'
Locate the weight per foot on the chart above: (14K 2mm x 2mm) = 10.36 dwt
Multiply the desired length in ft by the weight per ft: 2' x 10.36 dwt = 20.72 dwt
Multiply the weight by the
quantity
bracket price located on the karat gold schedule:
20.72 dwt falls in the 10 - 25 dwt rate for 14K yellow wire = $14.75 (@ $400 market)
20.72 dwt x $14.75 = $305.62
