You’ll also receive a price breakdown that includes:

  • Materials

  • Base piece construction

  • Additional detailing (like rhinestones, specialty work, etc.)

Please note: Sketches are the intellectual property of Queen Nova.

3. Pricing Overview
Each piece has a base price that reflects construction time. Final pricing varies depending on:
