Custom Orders

Custom Orders are CLOSED.

I am not accepting custom orders at this time. Please wait until custom orders are open to submit a request.

Custom Order Procedure:

1. PLEASE READ OVER THE PROCEDURE & GUIDELINES BELOW BEFORE SUBMITTING A REQUEST! 

2. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. If you are not ready to complete the purchase immediately, please hold off on submitting your request. Custom orders are $50 ($40 for children's or if you provide your own prescription frames) plus shipping. 

3. If you wish to provide your own frames (such as prescriptions) they must be approved by me first to ensure I can work with them. Please include a picture of the frames in your request. Tip: I need flat/wide surface area to work with. Skinny rims will not work.
   
   

4. After reading over the guidelines, please fill out the Custom Order Request Form here: https://forms.gle/horAYaa3TU175rrG6 
   

5. Please allow 1-3 business days for a response from me--I usually don't check/respond to emails on weekends. If you don't hear back in 5 business days, please email me at shopbabacool@gmail.com.
   
   

6. Upon approval of your request I will set up an invoice with a link to purchase. Kindly pay within 3 business days so that I can keep things flowing smoothly. If payment is not received within 3 days I may deactivate your payment link and you may lose your place in line.

7. Once your request is approved you may not make any major changes. Please don't bait and switch!
   
   

8. Communication is crucial! Check your email! This is a collaboration between artist and client. Please check your e-mail frequently during the process. If you don't check email often, please provide a phone number so that I can text you.

9. Processing time for custom orders is 1-3 weeks PLUS shipping time. I typically cannot accommodate rush orders unless you are one of the first to submit a request & first to pay. I appreciate your patience!

10. I will always send a picture of the finished product before I ship. I like to receive the client’s approval before shipping, but if I do not receive a response within 48 hours I will go ahead and ship the item. 

Guidelines and Tips for your Custom Order Ideas:

Please read this section to determine if I am able to work with your idea! Not all ideas will work!

1. First of all, I must stress that my custom orders are a collaboration, not “design-your-own”. Please trust in my creative process and understand that while I will do everything I can to bring your vision to life, there are certain limitations and I like to remain true to my own artistic style and vision as well! Your flexibility is appreciated.

2. Keep it short and sweet and think about how the words will be split between two lenses. Circle and heart-shaped frames typically have a maximum of 10-12 characters PER LENS (characters include spaces, and there are two lenses), depending on the size of the frames. Square, cat-eye, and more angular shapes will have a much shorter maximum of 5-8 characters PER LENS, again depending on size of the frames. There are certain exceptions to this rule, but if you have a long lyric in mind please consider having a few back-up choices. (As an example, "Surrender to the flow" would be split into "surrender" on one side [9 characters] and "to the flow" on the other [11 characters].) 

3. The more words, the less room for other decorations. Once the character maximum is reached there is no space left for something like a daisy or star on the side, although I can still decorate with jewels around the rims. 

4. If you wear prescription glasses, I am happy to decorate frames that are mailed to me. I just need to see pictures of them first to make sure that it’s something I can work with. If you already have the frames please include a picture in your custom order request.

5. To get a feel for my style and what types of decorations I have available, I recommend checking out my Instagram page: @shopbabacool. If you do not have the Instagram app you can still view it in your internet browser at: instagram.com/shopbabacool. I encourage you to include pictures of any of my past work that you feel is helpful in your request. This is also a good place to get an idea of what kinds of decorations/gems/cabochons I usually carry. 

6. If your custom order request is not accepted, remember I make soooo many new designs ~constantly~! You are sure to find something you love! Follow me on Instagram (@shopbabacool) and Facebook (facebook.com/shopbabacool) to stay in the loop, and maybe after a while you’ll come up with some new ideas and try again. Thank you so much for appreciating my work!
