How should I go about creating more expensive pieces?

How should I go about creating more expensive pieces?

Hi all! I just started my rosary business at the beginning of this year, so I’m still getting the hang of things. An acquaintance of mine would like for me to craft a rosary as a wedding gift for her daughter! I’m so honored!
She would like pearl, gold, and crystal. As I’m sure many of you know, these are not cheap materials, and I can source anything from cultured potato pearls to high quality wild pearls… plated gold to 18k gold.
I’m planning on asking her what her budget is, and going from there to determine what specific pearls/findings/metals to source.
Do yall have policies in place for more expensive items? For example, half down to help pay for the materials? I’d love to hear all thoughts!
