Commissions at The Twisted ZenStone™

Commission FAQ
Can I send my own stone?
Yes. Photos and a video are required for approval before shipping.
What if my stone has natural cracks or inclusions?
Natural inclusions are normal. Stones with structural weaknesses may not be suitable for wrapping.
How do I know if my stone is durable enough?
You are responsible for selecting a stone that fits your lifestyle. Softer stones may scratch, chip, or break more easily. You may reference a Mohs hardness scale when deciding.
What if the stone breaks during wrapping?
Breakage due to internal flaws or instability is not considered artist error.
Can I choose or request a specific stone?
Yes. You may request a stone. Requested stones may be obtained through trusted suppliers when available; availability is not guaranteed.
Do you offer sketches or design previews?
No. All pieces are created intuitively in alignment with the stone.
Can I request changes during the process?
No. Once creation begins, the design follows the intuitive process and cannot be altered.
How long does a commission take?
Creation Timeline (from design approval and deposit):
Tier I: 7–14 business days
Tier II: 14–30 business days
Tier III: 30+ business days
Will I see the piece before fulfillment?

Are commissions refundable?

Can I request changes after seeing the final piece?
Minor adjustments may be considered at the artist’s discretion. Structural or design changes require a new commission.
The inquiry stage is a collaborative conversation. No payment is required until both parties agree to proceed with the commission.
