Because the design is not the same product. Differences hide in gram weight, plating thickness, stone grade and the QC steps included. Ask both for gram weight, plating microns and stone specification in writing, then compare price per gram of finished piece. The gap usually collapses; whatever remains is the real negotiation.
Whatever your contract says. With metal locked at order confirmation, nothing changes.

Insist on the split quote, metal and conversion, so movement is transparent and only the metal line ever moves.
