Editorial team · updated 2026-09-29
Labour
Most of the price in fine crafts is time. A dense piece can take weeks or months.
Materials
Silver, silk and gold thread raise prices sharply.
Bargaining
Bargaining is common in bazaars but prices in fixed-price shops and cooperatives are often fair already.
