Labor cost refers to the extra fee charged on the basis of gold price. The simple understanding is the process cost, that is, the product is different from other products in production process and design concept, or has additional costs, so it needs to be paid extra.

The general price of gold jewelry consists of two parts:

1. Gold price: that is, the price per gram of gold; With the change of the international gold price that day, the price generally rose 15%-30% on the basis of the international gold price.

2. Labor cost: This part of the cost mainly depends on the craft and production difficulty of the jewelry itself. The more complex the process, the more difficult the production, and the higher the labor cost and time cost; So the labor cost will be more expensive.

Generally speaking, there are two standards for manual charging of gold jewelry: one is to charge according to the price of gold per gram; The second is to charge according to the specifications of gold jewelry. At present, there is no uniform standard for the manual fee of gold jewelry. The manual fee standards of gold and silver or gold specialty stores are different. The more complex the process, the higher the manual cost of gold and the higher the processing cost. The low processing cost per gram is only a few yuan, and the high processing cost is only tens or even hundreds of yuan per gram.

Take China gold as an example, the price of thousands of gold is 3 17 yuan/gram, free of manual fees; Leofoo price 3 16 yuan/gram, free of manual fee; The price of Chow Tai Fook is 3 17 yuan/gram, and the manual fee is 50 yuan-100 yuan. The price of Lao Fengxiang is 343 yuan/gram, and the manual fee is 30 yuan/gram.
