So you know I take custom orders, right? ✨️
They don't come very easy to me. Understanding and bringing to life someone's dream crown or necklace is, as you may imagine, a process that's more complicated than creating something I'd envisioned on my own. I'm decent at communication - I've had years to practice, heh - but it's still not something that comes naturally when you're AuDHD. Jewellery is easier than people, is all I'm saying 😁 Still, I like to offer this option. It's a very special thing to be trusted with someone's heart's desire, be it a bridal headpiece, a PhD graduation crown or a necklace holding ashes of a departed loved one. Or simply a matching piece to go with something I'd made earlier - I make simple things too :)
This winter I had two rather trying experiences with commissions. I feel the need to expand and clarify my terms of service (goodness, I sound like some kind of software 😅) The thing is, for more than ten years my go-to description of my process - the one that you see on the second slide here - has been sufficient for custom work, so I didn't think it should be spelled out in quite this much detail. Growing up neurodivergent, I'd been frequently told too much detail was rude & condescending 😅 And I certainly don't want to sound rude, especially since I've been so lucky to have so many absolutely lovely people trusting me with their custom pieces! However, this winter showed me that I might've overcorrected into being a bit too soft-spoken, and that some things should be said out loud. If only to make sure everyone has the same expectations.
So I made this infographics.
Hopefully this will clarify my process for anyone contemplating a custom commission and help avoiding potential misunderstandings ❤️
