If you like my style of work and the energy behind it, but cannot find exactly what you want or you have something specific in mind, whether in the sense of design, meaning or ‘reason for the piece’, then a custom piece might be just the answer.
Over the years, I have thus made
- bridesmaids pieces (for different Jewish, Christian and Hindu weddings!)
- matching pendants for the wedded couple
- baptism medal
- organ transplant gratitude charms
- memory rings for the passing away of a loved one
- sickness, grief or loss “courage” pieces
- high-school graduation rings (to replace the quickly out of date traditional high-school ring)
- “love declaration” or anniversary pieces
- ” desperately want to get pregnant” talisman (it worked within 3 months, not that I guarantee a repeat of this!)
- “sobriety and life change” bracelet
The list goes on. . .
Combining Energies
Designing a custom piece, whether for you or for another, is always an interesting and very rewarding adventure for both you and myself.
I have a good ability to feel my way through what is important to you (I ask lots of questions!), and I also know my jewelry intimately as well as technically. Therefore, I can say I have an innate feel of what is possible .
Combining my knowledge and your dreams (whether vague or specific) indeed works very well. I have never in 12 years of doing this work exclusively ever encountered a person who was disappointed in a custom piece. On the contrary, most people think the result exceeds their expectation. . .Indeed, when I work, the piece takes a life of its own and small but important elements often suddenly appear which we had not thought of together.
Time-frame
I can only make you a custom piece while I am close to my work-bench. This coincided with my artshow season, so between the end of September and the beginning of December and from January to April. Outside of that time -frame I am on the roads of the world, in Europe, Africa or Asia, taking care of clients, helping women in Africa or supporting my very mobile children.
Usually (but contact me to verify!), allow 3 or 4 weeks for the making of a custom piece as I am very careful to spend the necessary and the appropriate time on it: I never mix making custom work and doing my own work, as the energy needed is not the same.
