Just to be clear, by circular do you mean what is usually called spiral but is actually helical?

What ornamentation is asked for? I know I have multiple levels of work, basic stuff is from commercial components with generic elements put together in a pleasing way, next would be simple but truly hand forged work assembled well, and then on up to very ornate all original truly hand forged work that is considered art. While I generally quote only by the job, price for iron work like this starts at $100 a linear foot and goes upto to about $400 or $500 per foot. That is just the iron price and when I make a final quote I add in the installation costs.

What is the installation going to be mounted to ? Wood? concrete? Indoors or out?
