Custom Chain Maille Jewelry Commissions

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Okay, so it’s time to suck it up and get this over with…
I’m finally opening up commissions for chain maille jewelry.
Now…I’m very nervous about this whole thing since I easily worry about disappointing people, but I think diving right in will help me get over it. Please bear with me though since this will take some time to get used to.

So anyway, here is my price sheet:

As I am just starting out, I am willing to discuss adjusting prices a little bit if people can’t afford things since I know how it feels to want something badly and not be able to get it just because I’ve got a few dollars less that the price.
Shipping is $2.00 more for anything. Not sure how much it really is, but it can’t be all that bad since the items don’t weigh much.
I accept payment through Paypal and I have to be paid first before making the item.

Weave options (Clicking on weave names goes to examples):
Flower [This is not the same as the flower pendants.]
Half Persian 3-in-1
Full Persian
Byzantine
Alligator Back [ONLY for collars/chokers at the moment.]
European 4-in-1 [No examples yet. If you’d possibly like to be a guinea pig for this weave, I’ll pay shipping for it myself.]

Commission form:
Weave -
Length [either the length it would have to be to slide over your hand/head, if you want no clasp, or the length it would have to be to fit around your wrist/neck the way you’d like it to with a lobster clasp to hook it together] -
Color(s) [just pick the colors you would like, and I’ll tell you if I can get them and ask you about the pattern of them if necessary] -

I will say that the time frame for me completing and shipping out commissions will be one week. I’m doing it this way because even though it generally only takes me an hour to two, or even less (for smaller pieces), to make these, I am taking four classes this semester and I have a part-time job at my dad’s redemption center so I do not want to be unfair to myself or anyone else by saying that it will be done sooner when I can’t assure them that that is the truth.



Disclaimer: You WILL be able to see the cut marks in the rings and there could possibly be rough parts that might poke you sometimes. Unfortunately because I'm just starting out, I am unable to get the nice professionally-done saw-cut rings through online vendors, so I have to settle for using the rings the sell in my local craft stores. Hopefully, after I’ve been doing this for a bit, I’ll be able to use the better materials.

No one has shown any interest in this but I figure I might as well add something else in here.
I'm already doing a free bracelet or necklace to the donator who wins the raffle each month, but I feel that now it is necessary to do something else too.

SO
If you commission me for something, no matter what it is, half of the money will go to TFF! That is, the original price, not including the $2 for shipping.
I would greatly appreciate the commissions not only because of the money made for myself, but the money you'd be helping give the the forum.

Also, I'm lowering the price of my Mobius Ball and Flower Pendants to $3.

I'm doing commissions until I'm too overloaded and need a rest (which won't be anytime soon, I don't think). The "half going to the forum" part will go on for a month or two, it depends.

Yes, you can pay by mail. Send me a PM of what colors you would like and what length it needs to be to fit comfortably (please try to get as accurate a measurement as you can, using string then measuring the string with a tape measurer or using a collar or choker you already have). Once you send me that information, I will respond with my mailing address so you can send the $22.
