* COST OF GOLD: Gold nails are astronomically more expensive due to the market price of gold compared to silver. If you are interested you can look up Gold:Silver ratio for more information. Willie must work much slower with no room for error with Gold. Gold nails are twice the cost of a silver nail, PLUS the cost of the weight of gold for your finished nails which ends up being nearly 3x the cost of a silver nail. Willie waits for the nails to be completed to charge for the weight of gold so you are only charged for the material you receive. If you buy gold nails, you will have to pay for the gold material as an additional cost after they are made and before Willie will ship your nails. The cost of gold varies daily with the market. As of writing this section 2/4/25 the market cost of gold equals approximately $80-$90 per nail. This number will be variable depending on the market cost of gold, type of nail you order, and size of your nail. A photo example of an invoice from Rio Grande is below where it lists the DWT price on day of purchase.
Example 1: One gold nail natural shaped with no add ons. $300 for nail and labor paid at the time of ordering. After the nail is made it is weighed by DWT (pennyweight), and it weighs 1.0 DWT. The unit price by DWT was $94.93 on the day of purchase, so the customer will be charged an additional $94.93 before the nail will be shipped. The total cost is $394.93 for the finished nail.
Example 2: Ten gold nails natural shaped with no add ons. $2,400 for the set of nails and labor paid at the time of ordering. After the set is made the nails are weighed by DWT and they weigh 9.2 DWT. The unit price by DWT was $94.93 on the day of purchase, multiplied by 9.2 DWT equals $873.36. The customer will be charged an additional $873.36 before the nails will be shipped. The total cost for the set is $3,273.35.
Example 3: Two gold nails almond shaped with an engraving on one nail. $710 for the two shaped nails plus the engraving paid at the time of order. After the nails are made, they are weighted by DWT and they weigh 1.8 DWT. The unit price by DWT was $94.93 on the day of purchase, multiplied by 1.8 DWT equals $170.87. The customer will be charged an additional $170.87 before the nails will be shipped. The total cost for the two nails is $880.87.
