Pricing

I retired in March 2023 from 9 years as a professional Drummer, followed by 40 years of Jewelry making and design. My focus is now on Engraving drums. Below are rough guidelines for pricing for engraving services. ALL services are by estimate.

Supplying the bare shell is preferred. Removing and replacing hardware is available for an additional $40.00

Prices start at $500 for a simple design all around the drum. Complicated designs, can be between $650.00-$1000.00 (or more) depending on the amount of graphic design, and if any materials such as brass hoops are requested.

Award winning pendant, Iowa Jeweler's Association 1999, First Place, and Best of Show. One of 32 top entrants in the country at the 2000 Jewelers of America show in New York.

Jewelry is a passion, and an occupation for over 40 years.
Here you will see some examples of jewelry, and engraved drums that I have created. Also pricing guidelines. I am still able to create jewelry of any kind. Contact me with any of those needs.
