Thank you for considering Muddied Hands to dream and create with. Below is an outline of the process and FAQ for custom pieces — please read before submitting an inquiry.

Deposit
To begin, I ask for a non-refundable deposit: $150 AUD for sterling silver, $300 AUD for 9 ct. gold. This reflects the time, energy, and resources that go into designing your piece.
Communication
We’ll chat via Instagram or email — whichever you prefer. At the start, we’ll discuss your vision in detail, and I can offer as much or as little design guidance as you’d like.
Design
Whether you have a clear idea or just a few elements in mind, I’ll draw up a few design options for us to look at together. Once a design feels right, I’ll begin crafting. You can choose to receive photo updates or a final reveal when your piece is finished.
Stones
If your piece includes a stone, let me know your preferences in colour, shape, or meaning. I’ll pull options from my collection or source a stone if needed (which may add time to the process). If you already have a stone, I’ll assess whether it can be set safely.
Payment & Timeline
After we finalise the design, I’ll provide an estimated quote based on metal, stone, and labor. Your deposit goes toward the final price, with the remainder due before shipping. Most custom pieces take 4-6 weeks to complete depending on my workload.
Next Steps

Looking forward to forging something truly special together.
With love,
Daisy
