custom work

how to commission custom work

My favorite work to do is custom commissions from excited folks who are looking for something special. There are two main approaches to creating custom works:


1. You have a specific idea of what you want, and you can communicate that to me using sketches or in enough words that I can create a pencil sketch for you.


2. You set a price-point, and give me some loose constraints (such as what gemstone(s) you want, what metals, etc.) and I will try to meet your pricepoint with something I design. This gives me some liberty in design choices, but I will still create a pencil sketch before beginning work on your piece or ordering stones.

policy on custom orders

Once you and I have gone back and forth, and a design has been finalized, I will give you a quote for the piece. In order to begin work on a custom piece, I require a deposit of 50% of the quote of that piece up front. I will only begin work on a custom piece once that deposit has been made. When the piece is done, you will pay me the rest of the commission, then I will ship the piece. If the material costs involve very expensive precious stones, I may require that those be purchased ahead of the design process.
