Overcoming the BIGGEST Obstacle to Raising Prices

I have found that whenever we raised jewelry repair prices in any

of the stores I worked for, repairs would drop off for about 6

months. I always thought we might have raised our prices too

high and customers were objecting to the prices. Then one day

we implemented a substantial price increase and shop work

really dropped off. I asked the salespeople about this as it was

really affecting the shop’s income. I asked them how many

customers were turning down repair work because the price was

too high. They told me NONE!

What I found out was that the SALESPEOPLE thought the price

was too high, not the customers. When a customer brought a

ring in to be sized in the past, they would recommend other add-

on repairs like retipping. Now, because they thought the price

was too high they were afraid to ask for additional work. I even

found salespeople recommend putting on a gold-filled ring guard

instead of sizing down because they were afraid to ask for the

higher price. After about 6 months the salespeople became

accustomed to the new prices and the repair work would be back

to normal.

To me the biggest hurdle to overcome in raising prices is the

salesperson not the customers! “How can we charge so much

for jewelry repair, when the customer has so many needs?”, the

salespeople would ask. It is easier to charge more for a

perceived ‘need’ than a ‘want’, they would reason, and jewelry

repair and custom design is just a ‘want’ not a ‘need’.

I agree that charging for needs is easier than charging for wants.

However, you have to realize that jewelry and jewelry repairs are

not a want, a desire, or a luxury – THEY ARE A NEED!

Remember back in school we learned about Maslow’s Hierarchy

of Needs. Abraham Maslow developed a list of humans’ five

needs. The first is Physical Needs. These are the basic needs

like air, food, water, and sleep. Next is Safety / Security Needs

followed by Social Needs. The fourth on the list is Esteem

Needs. Esteem needs involve achievement, status, and self-

respect. Once the lower needs are met, people have a NEED to

have their self-esteem built up. Just because it is not a basic

need does not make it any less of a need. Most people meet

this need with status symbols such as cars, homes, vacations, or

electronic gadgets, and many meet the need with JEWELRY.

Not everyone meets this need with jewelry but most of the

people who darken our door do so to have that need fulfilled with

jewelry. The customer that comes to us with a ring to be sized

NEEDS that ring to fit so that they can wear it. It is not a want --

it is a need!

We must realize that just because jewelry and our custom/repair

services meet a higher level need, it is still a NEED. It is just as

much of a need as the food we eat and the air we breathe.

Jewelry is not a want, a desire, or a luxury; it is a need. It is a

need just as real as hunger, thirst, or a physical injury. When we

can understand this need in our customers and see how we can

fulfill it, we will then be able to overcome our objection to quoting

higher prices.

REVERE ON GOLDSMITHING

Project 7

HINGED BOX

By ALAN REVERE

This 2-tape video set demonstrates in a clear and

understandable manner the procedures involved in constructing

jewelry. In particular, the soldering process is thoroughly

explained. Although one may seldom make a silver pillbox, the

techniques involved in this training exercise are applicable to

many jewelry fabrication projects. The information on making

hinges is worth the purchase price, and is just a small portion of

what you will learn from viewing this video.

As Alan Revere demonstrates the creation of the pillbox, he

explains a variety of methods to accomplish the work and shares

his insight as to why he uses a particular technique. In addition,

many tips and tricks are given. I was most appreciative of Mr.

Revere’s commitment to precision workmanship, which is

evident throughout this video presentation.

Alan Revere is one of the best at teaching traditional jewelry

making techniques. After watching this video you will know why.

I highly recommend this video to all jewelers and in particular

anyone considering the JA Certified Master Bench Jeweler. I

certainly wish I had viewed it before constructing the silver

pillbox for my CMBJ exam.

Here are some useful tips to help you find things in the studio

Finding A Lost Diamond

By Alan Revere

Occasionally, a diamond falls on the floor and you cannot find it.

In that case, turn off the lights and use a flashlight to spot it.

=================================================

<> <> <> <> <> TRADE SECRETS <> <> <> <> <>

When setting a colored center stone with side diamonds, make

certain that the diamonds do not touch the center stone. If one

of the diamonds comes loose and rubs against the center stone,

it will cut a groove into the stone.

Setting diamonds touching each other can also create abrasions

on them if they come loose.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Rings with by-pass shanks are right hand and left hand specific

and are not interchangeable. When creating a ring with a by-

pass shank, the side of the shank closest to the hand should

come from the side of the little finger. The ring will then sit

straight on the finger. This is because the skin joining the fingers

together is lower between the little finger and the ring finger than

between the ring finger and the middle finger. If the ring is

created with the shank going the other way, the shank will

contact the hand on the middle finger side first and cause the

ring to twist while wearing it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Increase the size of your polishing wheels from the standard 4”

wheel to a 6” wheel. This will cut polishing time by over 1/3.

Changing to a 6” wheel from an old wheel worn down to 2 ½” or

3” will cut polishing time to less than 1/2. This is due to the

surface area of the wheels. Although spinning at the same

speed, more surface area moves over the jewelry in the same

amount of time there by polishing faster.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Be careful of customers’ jewelry while in your possession.

Always place it in the best safe you have. If robbed it is harder

to replace customer’s jewelry than your own inventory. Even if

the value is lower, the difficulty in finding suitable replacements

adds to the importance of caring for the jewelry.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A tip from Frank Goss

Rough one side of a plastic blister package (the plastic packages

that seemingly everything comes enclosed in) with 60-80 grit

sand paper and then cut it into thin strips about 2-5mm wide and

4inches long. Apply polishing compound to the roughened side

and use them to polish those pesky inside cut out areas. The

plastic polishes flat and you can cut right into a corner and

actually sharpen it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here are a couple of tips on soldering chains from
Allan Atkinson.

Roll new solder through a rolling mill until it is less then paper

thin, then you can cut the solder into much smaller pieces.

Use a hypodermic needle with liquid soldering flux to pick up the

solder (the tip must have a tiny drop of liquid at the end to pick

up the solder) and then apply to the warmed spot to be

soldered. On most chains, the solder is invisible and I find that

the solder melts and flows quicker with this method and there is

less cleanup when finished.

The Art of Laser Welding

By Bob Staley

Lasers are one of the hottest new items in the jewelry industry.

This relatively unknown technology among jewelers and jewelry

manufacturers just a few short years ago is now receiving great

recognition in our industry today. One cannot open a trade

magazine without seeing an ad for lasers. Almost all of the trade

shows have at least one laser manufacturer exhibiting and

demonstrating the latest in laser technology. So, what is so

special about laser welding? How can lasers benefit your

business? Is there a proper technique to use when laser welding

most items?

With most lasers priced in the mid 20k to low 30k price range,

laser welders are a major investment for most jewelry repair

shops and jewelry manufacturers. Though they carry an

expensive price tag, with a little practice you can do some

amazing things with a laser welder that could easily justify their

expense.

Laser technicians can hold the piece to be welded in their fingers

while welding. They can weld, not braze or solder, jewelry items

that one would not consider repairing by traditional torch/solder

methods and they can usually obtain a superior weld. Lasers

can weld dissimilar metals or metals with different metallurgical

properties. So welding a platinum and 18 karat ring is no

problem for a laser welder.

Recently a client of mine sent me a platinum and 18 karat

wedding band that needed to be sized for their customer. The

ring was sized with no problems and was promptly returned to

the client. When my client received the ring, they were pleased

that it could be done and then proceeded to tell me the problems

they had trying to get the ring sized and subsequently making

the sale. It seems that they had initially sent the ring to the

manufacturer who returned the ring to them stating that it could

not be sized and they would be happy to make their customer

another ring in the appropriate size. That is when I received the

ring. My lighthearted comment to my client upon hearing the

story was, “I wish you had told me the ring ‘could not be sized’

before I sized it!” Sometimes laser welders can do the “can’t be

done” jobs. This is one way laser welders can benefit your

business.

Another benefit of laser welding is building customer loyalty.

You will earn the “can do almost anything” reputation. You

certainly will be the jeweler who can do what the guy down the

street cannot do. It shows that you are innovative and up to date

on the latest technology. That puts your clients in awe of your

skill and prowess as a jeweler, goldsmith, and platinumsmith.

Your image as being knowledgeable and in control of difficult or

“impossible” repair situations serves to build a sense of trust and

resultant comfort in your clients. Besides, lasers are a novelty,

arouse curiosity, and attract attention. It can be good for

business.

Since lasers literally weld at the speed of light, they are also

beneficial because they can speed up the time it takes to repair

jewelry items. There is no need to apply a protective fire coating

to the repair item and no need to pickle the item so the time this

process would normally take is saved.

Laser welders can benefit your business whether or not you own

one. You can choose to invest in a welder or you can job out

repairs that warrant laser welding to a service bureau or trade

shop that offers laser welding. You can still be the jeweler who

does the “can’t be done” jobs if you contract it out to a laser

welding service. This is like contracting out other repairs to a

trade shop or casting to a casting service.

Lasers, as many of you know from experience, can do some

amazing things, but they are not a panacea. There are some

repair jobs they cannot do and there can be potential problems

with laser welding. Lasers can weld many metals, but they do

not weld all metals. Thin gauge materials are more difficult to

weld. Lasers tend to round or soften angles if you weld close to

an edge. This requires extra build up and filing to restore the

original shape of the piece welded. Unlike solder, laser welds do

not flow through the seam of a joint. The weld is only as strong

as the beam pulse penetrates the metal in the weld zone.

Sometimes welds fail. There are primarily three reasons why

this occurs. First, the metal to be welded is not conducive to

laser welding. One example is titanium alloys. Pure titanium

welds nicely with a laser using an ambient field of argon or some

other inert/ hydrogen free gas. Titanium alloys are usually not

welded successfully and are typically brittle.

Secondly, contamination of the original or host metal prior to

laser welding by solders may present problems. Most of you

know what a problem lead solder is to gold items when

attempting to repair the item by traditional torch methods. The

same is true of laser welding where lead solder is present. The

lead solder must be removed and if practical the contaminated

section as well.

White gold solder on platinum and white gold items themselves

can also be problematic when laser welding. The zinc content of

the solder “boils out” during the process of laser welding the

platinum or gold because the zinc melts at a much lower

temperature and cools at a different rate than the host metal,

resulting in microporosity and a potentially brittle or inferior weld.

Microporosity can also occur when laser welding white gold in a

zone that has no solder because of the zinc alloy in the white

gold. Alloys with zinc, tin, or lead do not weld easily with a laser.

The third and probably the most common reason for weld failure,

and the one most easily remedied, is failure to penetrate deep

enough into the metal when welding. Surface welds can be

deceiving. Unless you penetrate deep into the weld zone, the

weld will be inferior and subject to failure.

Laser welding is as much an art and a personally developed

technique as it is a science. Those of you who have been using

a laser know this quite well. You also know there is little

practical information available to the jewelry laser technician.

Most laser educators and experts I have spoken with over the

past couple of years offer little helpful information to jewelry laser

welders because of their lack of familiarity with our industry

particulars. Documented experimentation (parameter settings,

adjustments for various metal types and thickness, with both

good and bad results) along with idea sharing from others in our

field are probably the best two suggestions to gaining a better

understanding of laser welding. Experience, as in many other

arenas, is still the best teacher. Experiment. Document. Tell

others what you have done. There are basically no hard and fast

rules. If a technique or parameter setting works for you, great!

Laser welding is a new technology that has already made a

significant impact upon the future of our industry. Lasers are

evolving into the next generation models with the advent of pulse

shaping, internal modems, and other advances. Though much is

still to be learned about technique, lasers are extremely user

friendly. Develop you own technique and share some of your

tips and insights with others. Your business can benefit from

owning a laser or by using the services of someone who does

own one. Lasers can do many repairs that jewelers traditionally

turn down as a “can’t do” item. Let lasers help you in building

your reputation, your business, and ultimately your bottom line.

Bob Staley is owner of B. Staley, Goldsmiths/Precision Laser

Welding. He has 23 years experience as a jeweler and

goldsmith and over 2200 hours experience as a laser welder.
