    Commissioned Relic Jewelry

    by Rolling Gypsy

     

     

    I accept a limited number of commissioned relic-style jewelry orders throughout the year. These works are created slowly and intuitively, guided by story, symbolism, and sculptural form. Each piece is crafted in copper and solder - may also incorporate other natural elements.

     

    Commissioned relic pieces are artist-led. Rather than exact replicas or predefined designs, each piece unfolds organically through process — allowing the work to become what it needs to be.

    What to Expect

    How My Commissions Work

    • Each commissioned piece is one-of-a-kind

    • Created in my distinct relic / sculptural style

    • Designed to feel unearthed, timeworn, and meaningful

    • Focused on form, texture, and presence rather than perfection

    These are not trend-based pieces or traditional “custom jewelry.”
    They are wearable sculptures, shaped through experimentation and patience.

    To begin a commission, I’ll ask a few guiding questions such as:

    • Is the piece for yourself or someone else?

    • Are there themes, memories, or feelings you’re drawn to?

    • Do you prefer a pendant, ring, or bracelet?

    I do not work from sketches or exact visual references.
    Instead, your responses help inform the spirit of the piece, while I remain free to create within my process.

    it’s about listening, patience, and allowing form to emerge."

    Pricing

    RG C 3.jfif

    Commissioned relic jewelry reflects the time, technical challenge, and creative intensity involved.

    • Commissioned relic pieces typically range from $100–$300

    • Complex sculptural pendants, such as Tree of Life forms, fall at the higher end of the range

    Final pricing is confirmed upon completion, with the remaining balance due once the piece is revealed.

    Timing & Payment

    • A non-refundable deposit 50% is required to begin

    • Typical completion time: 2–4 weeks

    • Commissions are created within a time window, not a fixed deadline

    Because of the nature of this work, I accept only a small number of commissions at a time.

    What I Don’t Offer

    To protect the integrity of the work, I do not offer:

    • Exact replicas of previous pieces

    • Unlimited revisions

    • Rush timelines

    • Design-by-committee processes

    If you’re drawn to the work and trust the process, the collaboration will feel natural and rewarding.

    Commission Inquiries

    If you feel a commissioned relic piece is right for you, inquiries are welcome via email or direct message.

     

    Please note:
    Not all requests will be accepted. I reserve commissions for projects that align with my creative direction and process.
