Gems
Gold
Whatever the jeweler takes for his roughly one year of work.
The Jewels will be most expensive.

The gems alone will cost a real fortune, and having half a dozen gun and goldsmiths work on it for year won't be cheap either.

>>1930952
The work on this cup shouldn't be that expensive, a stone cutter will do it for a couple hundred $.
Now a translucent 41mm high Emerald, that could be a bit more expensive.
