I would be honored to create a specialized talisman customized to suit your specific needs, using your crystals or a selection from my vast inventory of high-end, high-vibrational minerals, or both. Please send me an email and we can discuss what I can do for you.
If you would like to discuss a custom-crafted talisman in greater detail and specificity, please email me with your questions, concerns, and general info about your desired piece (function, size, mineral composition, price-range, etc.). If you'd like to incoporate your own minerals, please include photos (next to a U.S. quarter for scale) If this can't be done, please include approximate measurements in your inquiry or request. If neither is possible, we can still figure something out.
As far as pricing goes, a basic wrap for a small stone would generally be between $40 and $75, including silver and labor. Fibonacci pieces range from $70-120, depending on the amount of silver required to tastefully secure the mineral or crystal. For more complex tasks, I typically charge $20/hr for a 5+ hour piece—a little less than what I charge per hour for smaller pieces.
Customized gold and platinum accents are available, and for small accents the working fee is the same as silver. However, due to the high replacement costs of gold and platinum, as well as the decreased room for error when working with these metals, hourly rates for pieces with high gold content or moderate amounts of platinum around $45/hr, not including the cost of materials. Please contact me if you would like to discuss these options further.
