Notes: Based on some research Rings were 5 minutes even in medieval times using wire mesh leading. Also vidoes seem to confirm this. Based o na Ring as baseline I just guess estimated on the other factors. I think this system is fast and clean. using treasure charts i gueesed on what might be most common for cities and factors involved in forging an dsuch. So used Brass as a baseline. Let's look at Min, Max, Averages EL40 average, No insets/specials, Brass EL40 EL50 Value Min - 7.5 min 5 4-8 SC Average 13.75 6.25 9 SC Max 15 7.5 104 SC So a jeweler making rings of Brass with all thingsnormal and assuming materials. A good jeweler can make around 12 and hour at min. Probably 10 with breaks. On average could make 50 silver an hour. A fairly decent living assuming nothing special like no gem insets.
