Hello. This is Sakurako from ERIDA ELDA staff.
This time, we will show you how to make the purchase of jewelry the cheapest.
The conclusion is, "If you want to keep costs down, make (or consider making) your jewelry yourself."
Even if you make it yourself, you can buy the diamond yourself and have it processed into jewelry.
This is a very rough guide, but if you want to make a ring with a 0.3 carat diamond of reasonable quality, you can get it for as low as 150,000 yen.

First, you need to purchase loose diamonds (diamonds alone are called loose) by yourself.
The price of a diamond is determined by the quality of the diamond.
Processing costs vary depending on the store.
The metal (platinum, 18k gold, etc.) will be prepared by the shop that processes it.
The disadvantages of making your own jewelry are: - You're worried because you can't see the finished product - It may not be what you imagined - You don't have the satisfaction of getting jewelry from a famous brand.
The advantage is that costs can be reduced, but the biggest advantage is that you can understand the cost of constructing the jewelry.
If you try to make your own, you will have to do a lot of research, so
“Diamonds of this quality cost about ●● million yen, so you can make a ring for about ▲▲ million yen.”
And you will understand.
The selling price of jewelry is the cost of the jewelry plus store fees, advertising costs, personnel costs, design costs, and profit.
When purchasing jewelry, consider buying loose pieces yourself and having them work on them as an option.
By doing so, you will be able to see the cost of constructing the jewelry and the appropriate price.
