The gem costs me 62pp each (cha=60), and most folk with the money want gold or platinum versions of this ring. And all the jewelers with the skill to make the platinum , won't bother with the platinum, they are making only velium jewelry and even then it takes them a week to get the stuff you order to you.
So, the short answer is: I can make this ring, but I could not sell it for what it is worth. SO why bother.
just not very often i see a lot of silver jewelery going for 30-50 pp mostly peeps who have upgraded to gold/plat/velium wanting to clear out junk from there bank
They are not selling for undercost. It's not the jewelers selling at 30pp, it's the people that upgraded their rings nad want to get rid of the old ones.
Price is actually around 150pp. That is what I sell them for on Prexus, and that seems to be a pretty average price, for most servers that I have seen as well.. 30pp, yeah right, the price is less than the gem. /bonk.
Actually, he said 30pp PROFIT not price, and he's right. At level 51 and as a Grandmaster Jeweler I prefer to make Plat and Velium Fire Opal rings. However for lower level and / or lower skilled players, taking a ring that costs around 56pp to make and selling it for 90pp, yeilds a little over 30pp profit. That's not a bad amount at those levels.
If you can sell it at 150 (almost 3x cost) more power to you, but IMHO it isn't worth more than 90 to 100.

A 50% markup on an item the has a low trivial seems right. Though many high level enchanters wont bother, I am sure you can find a midlevel jewel maker, who whould be happe to make 30 pp.
I just started making these and at a skill of 54 I'd be extatic if I made a 30p profit. Opals cost me 81 a pop at the necro guild in Neriak, with not much room for profit there. Besides I dunno if its me but there isnt as much a demand for the silver stuff anymore jut vellium and plat. Just too many variations now people dont care about the little stuff.
If I can make it ill sell it chaaper than anyone on Bertoxx!!!!
