My cousin's wedding band request showed me how people undervalue our skill

My cousin texted me a photo of a wedding band with three different stones set in a twist pattern. He said he wanted it for his wedding in two weeks as a family favor. I explained that setting stones like that needs careful effort and special tools. He laughed and said it should be easy for someone like me. I had to break down the cost of silver and the labor hours. His response was that I was being too serious about a small job. That moment let me see how often our craft is taken for granted. From now on, I give quotes upfront, no exceptions, even for relatives.
