Commissions
A piece made for one person and one moment
Tell us who it is for, and we will draw it before we string it. Most commissions are ready in three to five working days.
Prices
What a commission costs
Most of our work sits on the placard. A commission costs the same as the closest piece on the list, plus a small amount if the bead count or materials change a lot. We tell you the final example price on the drawing, before you pay anything.
Bridal and ceremony sets are priced one by one, because no two families want the same thing. They start at ₦85,000 for a necklace, bracelet and earrings in coral style beads.
