Holy cow, the cost of precious metals is just outlandish right now!

Professionals predict that costs will continue to rise through 2026.  Given our super fancy diva of a casting machine, we cannot use anything but pure casting grain.  This puts us in a spot that forces us to purchase the most expensive version of sterling available to cast our belt buckles.

$10,000 sticker price on sterling is just a safeguard to get the converation started.  The market is moving too fast for us update the prices on each swing.  If you are interested in a sterling buckle, give us a call.  We will need to get the exact wax weight of the design to calculate with the current market price.  As a guide, you might be in the $2500-3500 range per buckle, the way costs are looking now.

We keep our eye on the moving market normally, but now we are watching with our jaws dropped every day at the steady and fast-moving amounts.  Once the market cools and prices drop back down to a normal cost, we will reflect the sterling costs as well.  Currently, they don't predict seeing that in 2026.
