Commission Services

Commissions

Bespoke Shell Oracle pieces created from an existing design language, a personal reference eye, or a new idea developed with the artists.

Every request is reviewed individually before a final price, production time, and design direction are confirmed.

Design-based Shell Oracle commission examples

01

Design-Based Commission

Create a new Shell Oracle relic from existing works, written ideas, visual references, or your own sketch.

Possible directions may include

  • shell type or size direction
  • eye colour or makeup mood
  • pearl arrangement
  • cord, ribbon or velvet styling
  • brooch, choker or pendant
  • keychain or bag charm
  • ring or cuff
  • other wearable or display structures considered case by case

This service develops a new piece within the existing Shell Oracle visual language. It does not prioritise resemblance to a specific real person's eye.

Requests are reviewed according to shell availability, materials, structure, production difficulty, and artist capacity.

Pricing is based on the closest comparable listed work or product category. If the request draws from more than one reference work, design, or category, the highest-priced comparable reference is used as the base. The final commission price is typically 10–20% above the reference price, depending on complexity. A final quote is confirmed before the order is created.

Personal eye reference and Shell Oracle portrait interpretation

02

Personal Eye Portrait Commission

Your eye, or the eye of someone meaningful to you, interpreted through the visual language of Shell Oracle.

The artist uses reference photographs to interpret the visible colour, depth, tonal variation, and overall presence of the eye.

The finished piece is an artistic interpretation. It is not intended to be

  • an anatomical replica
  • a medical reconstruction
  • a photographic copy

Resemblance to the visible colour, depth, and overall impression of the reference eye takes priority over decorative styling.

If a requested pupil shape, makeup style, lash colour, pearl arrangement, or other decorative detail would significantly reduce resemblance, the artist may simplify, adjust, or decline that element.

Reference photographs may be uploaded with your initial request. Clear, front-facing eye photographs in natural lighting are recommended.

Pricing is based on the closest comparable listed work or product category. If more than one comparable reference applies, the highest-priced reference is used as the base. The final Personal Eye Portrait commission price is typically 20–30% above the reference price, depending on complexity. A final quote is confirmed before the order is created.

  2. 02

    Review

    We confirm feasibility, design direction, final price, and expected production time.

  3. 03

    Final Order

    Once the details are agreed, a final private order or payment link is created.

Initial Enquiry

Send a Request

Share the starting point. We will review it before confirming feasibility, direction, price, or production time.

Submitting this form is an inquiry only and does not create an order. Final details, price, and production time will be confirmed by email before an order is created.

You may upload reference images with your request for either Design-Based or Personal Eye Portrait commissions.

Reference images are used only to review your commission request and are not published without permission.

Before You Request

Important Notes

  • Every request is reviewed before a price, production time, or final design direction is confirmed.
  • Submitting this form does not reserve artist capacity or create an order.
  • Natural shell shape and handmade construction mean that each finished piece will vary.
  • An event date helps us assess timing, but it is not a guaranteed delivery date.
