Am I too greedy?
18k gold contains 75% of pure gold,so based on today's closing price of $1366 X 75% = $1024 per oz + labor for the chain.QueenMum|1291066814|2782043 said:When comparing to gold charts (like kitco), what percentage of 24K gold price should I pay for 18K machine made gold chain?
I plan to buy something in Antwerp.
Thank you!
QM...i don't what is a fair labor to paid in Europe,but when i bought my 24K gold chain 12 yrs ago i paid the chinese jeweler $3 per inch for my chain.QueenMum|1291106364|2782534 said:Hi DancingFire, thank you, I know that.
18K is approximately 25 EUR / gram, that's why my 40 EUR estimation for 18K gold + labor.Code:So what should I pay for the labor of a machine made chain?
Am I correct?

Yesterday, he found exactly what I described. I paid 43 EUR/gram everything included. It's not cheap, but he has a buy back policy (-10%) and he can clean/maintain my jewelry regularly.
It's the same guy who set my BlueNile diamond this week.
I still have to post some pictures.
I promise I will!
