Qu Qiang, manager of a gold and silver jewelry company in Jilin Province, said that there is no uniform standard for the collection of manual fees. Generally, the collection of handicraft fees for jewelry is based on the difficulty of processing and making this kind of jewelry, but there is no standard to measure the handicraft value, just as the value of a work of art is closely related to the buyer's recognition.
Zheng Guoqiang, executive director of Jilin Gold, Silver and Jewelry Chamber of Commerce, believes that the possibility of issuing standards will not be ruled out in the future. At present, trade associations are also studying and formulating labor charging standards. However, due to the large number of jewelry brands in the market at present, the implementation basis is different, and it is unlikely that the manual fee collection standard will be unified in the short term.
