Bespoke Commissions

One companion, one piece, one month.

A made-to-order keepsake, formed by hand around your companion's fur, ashes, or paw print — and around the way you remember them. We accept a small number of commissions each month, so each one can be made with the patience it deserves.

We do not take a commission lightly. To make something from the remains of an animal who was loved is, in a real sense, to handle something sacred. We promise to handle it that way.

The Journey

Four weeks,
four quiet steps.

i.

Share

Week 1 · 60–90 minutes

You write to us — a few words, a photograph, anything you want us to know about your companion. There is no form, no questionnaire, no rush. We read every letter ourselves, and we reply by hand within two business days with a quiet conversation about what we might make together.

ii.

Send

Week 1–2 · Materials

A discreet, prepaid kit arrives at your address — sealed vials, a paw-print card, an unmarked return envelope, and a single page of instructions. A tuft of fur, a pinch of ashes, or an inked paw print is all we need. Everything unused is returned with your finished piece.

iii.

Make

Week 2–4 · The Atelier

Our artisans set to work — casting silver, blowing glass, painting gouache. We send one progress note midway through, never daily noise. If you have asked for an engraved name or a date, we will confirm it with you before it is set in metal.

iv.

Return

Week 4 · Homecoming

Your finished keepsake is wrapped in linen, placed in a hand-bound box, and sent home with a written note from its maker — and any materials we did not use. Tracking is shared by hand the day it leaves the studio. From there, it is yours.

What We Work With

Materials, considered.

Only noble, lasting materials — chosen because they age slowly, and because they hold what they hold.

i.

Sterling Silver

Recycled .925 sterling, cast and finished by hand. We offer 14k gold vermeil on most pieces for those who prefer a warmer tone. All metals age gently and may be re-polished in-studio at any time.

ii.

Borosilicate Glass

The same glass used in laboratory vessels — durable, clear, and able to hold ashes or fur suspended within. Each piece is formed at our furnace by a single glassblower in a single sitting, then kiln-cooled over 14 hours.

iii.

Cotton & Oak

For frames, vessels, and presentation: acid-free cotton mat, FSC-certified European oak, and linen thread. Nothing synthetic touches what is sacred. The box your piece arrives in is biodegradable and made to be kept.
