The cost breakdown of creating this piece of art is the following, not including tools and equipment:
Silver filled wire - $36
“Silver filled” means that the outer 10% of the wire is silver, while the inner core is a less expensive base metal. This is distinct from plated silver, which is a much thinner layer of silver on top of a base metal. Silver filled wire will last much longer than silver plated jewelry without the price point of sterling or fine silver.
Gift Box - $7
Shipping - $8-$12
Time: About 25 hours of weaving and wire wrapping work
Total: $51 plus time spent
