For metalsmiths

Priced at spot, not at memory.

Your raw material trades on a commodities market. Sheet and wire bought in January cost different money than the same gauge bought in June, and the scrap jar is real recoverable value. MadeKeeper tracks metal by the gram at what you actually paid, stones by the piece, and puts today's true cost into every bezel you set.

The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.

How MadeKeeper maps to your bench

Metal by the gram, at purchase priceSterling sheet, round wire by gauge, bezel strip — each buy logs at its real per-gram cost. When spot moves, your new stock costs what it costs, and old stock stays honest.

Stones by the piece or caratA $14 turquoise cab and a parcel of faceted garnets log the way you bought them. Every setting pulls its stone at its actual price.

Scrap back to the jarBench sweeps and clipped bezel ends aren't waste, they're inventory. Log recovered grams back and your metal costs reflect what the refiner will someday confirm.

Shows, galleries, and commissionsArt-fair weekends, gallery consignment splits, and custom commissions each track their own channel — with hallmarked one-of-a-kind pieces carried at their own cost basis.

One ring, to the penny

Say you fabricate a sterling ring with a turquoise cab:

6.2 g sterling @ $1.42/g$8.80
2 g bezel wire @ $1.55/g$3.10
Turquoise cab$14.00
Solder and flux$0.40

Materials in the ring$26.30

At $95 you kept $68.70 before fees — with 1.1 g of clipped scrap logged back to the jar. When silver jumps, your next sheet order reprices every ring after it, automatically.

MadeKeeper keeps your metal-content records per piece — which stock went into what — the paperwork side of quality stamping; what you stamp and how you mark stays your call under the stamping rules.

Straight about what's live

Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Questions metalsmiths ask

How does MadeKeeper handle changing silver prices?

Each metal purchase logs at its own per-gram price. Pieces cost from the stock they actually used, so a spot spike changes your future costs without rewriting your history.

Can I track scrap?

Yes — log recovered grams back into a scrap material. It keeps your true metal cost down where it belongs and gives you a running number for the refiner envelope.

Does it work for one-of-a-kind pieces?

Yes. An OOAK piece carries its own cost basis and shows in portfolio mode — inventory and showcase in the same place, with commissions traceable from deposit to delivery.
