The first commission I actually got paid for!!!
I've been asked a million times by friends and family to wrap a stone they have or to fix their jewelry, and I don't charge them for it. But now a girl from the US sent me an e-mail with a request for a pendant.
The kind of stone she wanted was quite specific, so getting the stone and designing the pendant took us three weeks. But when I had made the pendant, she told me it was exactly what she wanted. That made me incredibly happy.
I had always thought getting a commission would be very much like selling something, but I really underestimated the effort and time it takes to make the design. Usually I improvise, or I make one quick sketch. Now I made four, and eventually one was chosen but with a few adjustments. You can find the sketches etc. on pinterest: [link]
The main idea was a point, wrapped in silver (the wire is silver plated) similar to this: [link]

If you want to commission me, you can! just send me a note.

Your work is absolutely amazingly beautiful ! I had a question, I might ask for one, but do you charge for them? If so how much? 'Cause this would be a beautiful gift for my mother for Valentines : )

Thank you! I do charge for them. If I wouldn't I'd go broke in no-time, but I charge mainly for materials and only a little bit for my hours. This one was $30. You could visit my store here: www.oasiaris.storenvy.com
Most things listed there are cheaper. Commissions simply cost more because it takes much more work.
