Commissions
What is a commission? In art, a commission is described as an act of requesting an artist to create a piece of work. In other words, you are requesting a custom jewelry project made in the style of the artist.

The pearls are from a ring that the client bought at the age of 15. The client wanted them turned into a pendant. The client gave me the freedom to design the piece. At various times during the fabrication of the piece I would contact the client to be sure the client was happy. The end result was a happy client. |

Client brought her sentimental childhood coral necklace and loose pearls along with some gold. The client recieved credit for the gold. These are the instructions I was given, I want a necklace made with the pearls and coral. When the client picked the piece up her comment was, that she never had anything so beautiful before. |
