Each piece begins with a story. Where are you from? Where have you been? The answers to these questions and others shape your commission.

Turned and carved by hand each globe starts as a blank sphere chosen by you. It is then inlaid with gold or silver or set with gems to mark the journeys, places and connections that matter to one person or one family. The routes, the cities, the moments to be marked are yours.

Pricing varies according to size, materials, and the complexity of the geography being marked. Commissions begin at a level that reflects the time and work involved. Most commissions take several weeks from first conversation to finished piece.

A globe of this kind is meant to outlast its maker. It holds a single life, or a single chapter of one, in a form that can be passed down, returned to, and read by anyone who knows the story.
