A focused quote-prep workflow for bench jewelers and small studios that need to price silver casting material before committing metal.

Core search intent

silver casting cost calculator, sterling silver casting calculator, wax weight to silver weight, jewelry casting quote calculator

Built for quote prep, not engineering certification. Use measured pattern weight where possible.

What silver casting quotes need

Wax/resin pattern weight.
Silver alloy density assumption.
Sprue/button buffer.
Supplier price per gram or delayed spot-based estimate.
Premium, margin and saved quote notes.

Why silver needs explicit assumptions

A small error in grams matters more when metal is expensive.
Supplier premium can be more important than the public spot price.
A saved quote snapshot helps when the customer asks why the number changed later.

FAQ

Does it support supplier price override?

Yes. The app supports manual price per gram override for real supplier quotes.

Is it only for silver?

No. The same workflow can help with bronze, brass, gold and other casting metals.

Can I separate labor from material?

The launch version focuses on material-cost quote prep; labor can be handled separately in notes or future templates.
