COMMISSIONING A BESPOKE PIECE OF JEWELLERY
When it comes to expressing your individual style, sentiment and taste, there's nothing quite like a bespoke piece of jewelry. I have pleasure in collaborating with people, listening to their stories, and creating pieces that uniquely resonate with them while staying true to my distinctive style.
I understand the significance of personalized adornments and want to offer a seamless commissioning process to bring your vision to life.
step 1
Starting the Bespoke Process
Let’s talk! Whether it's through a phone call, email, or an in-person appointment, I want to hear your ideas and understand your inspiration. Whether you have a well-defined concept or seek assistance in selecting the design and materials, I’m here to offer guidance and support your vision.
During the consultation, we'll discuss various aspects of your project, including the design, budget, materials, and timeline.
For inspiration, you can explore my collections, journals, and archive galleries to discover various design possibilities with Odassey. If a particular piece catches your eye, it can serve as a foundation for your unique design. I’m eager to discuss and provide help, so feel free to reach out to explore your options further.
the general categories of commissions with odassey
most projects tend to fall within certain general categories, including customizations, one-of-a-kind pieces, and bespoke creations.
Customizations are alterations or enhancements made to pieces already existing in my collection.
One of a kind pieces bring together elements of both my signature style and your personal vision, resulting in something entirely unique. They reflect aspects of your individuality or tell a part of your story.
Bespoke creations represent those exceptional projects where we start from a blank canvas, designing something entirely new. While these pieces will still carry my distinctive style, they will incorporate fresh elements and unique features that haven't been present in my existing designs.
step 2
all about pricing
Clarity and openness are very important to me and my business. It's crucial to set clear expectations, particularly regarding pricing. Given the unique nature of each commission, every project varies.
All initial consultations are provided at no cost. To progress to the sketching/prototyping phase, there's a 100,00 Euro deposit that will be credited back to your final invoice.
This charge covers my time dedicated in crafting designs tailored to your preferences, discussed during the initial consultation, in the event that you choose not to proceed with the creation process.
I will design within your requirements and recommend designs and gemstones accordingly.
step3
Refining the Design:
I will work with you together to refine your ideas into a series of designs for you to choose from. These designs often come to life through sketches on paper, 3D Modeling and if desired may include wax or metal models. Once the design is agreed upon, a non-refundable deposit, usually 50%, is taken to initiate the crafting process.
step 4
Sourcing Diamonds and Gemstones:
Whether it's diamonds, colored gemstones, or both, I source these precious elements to suit your requirements and budget. Rest assured, I only use conflict-free diamonds ensuring ethical and sustainable sourcing.
step 5
How Your Bespoke Jewelry Is Made:
Where the magic begins. I use a variety of techniques such as hand-carving in wax, forging, soldering, and hammer-texturing to create your unique piece. Each step is filled with accuracy and dedication.
step 6
Seeing Your Ideas Come to Life:
There's a sense of excitement in seeing your design take shape. I encourage you to walk through the process of your commission with me. It's a journey that allows you to witness your dream becoming a reality. ♡
step 7
et voilá
Your commissioned piece is now ready for you to be loved!
As soon as the balance is paid, you have the option to collect your piece at the atelier where I work from, or I can arrange shipping to anywhere you live! To ensure your jewelry stays as stunning as the day you first received it, I recommend annual cleaning and gemstone checks, a service I provide free of charge to you
