RAFI AND KLEE STUDIOS FAQ’S

Custom orders are welcome! Please contact us to find out more and discuss what you have in mind for a unique custom piece of art or jewelry.

Most custom orders require 7-30 business days to complete. Under special circumstances, this timeline may be longer. We will always keep you updated on the progress of your order. Please get in touch with us if you need the work sooner, we will try to accommodate, but it will depend on how many commissions we have in queue.

The time we need to complete a piece of art or jewelry varies. Please see individual items for estimated processing times. Many of the items we offer are made-to-order (we create each just for you, per your order specifications). Some items are one-of-a-kind and ready to ship.

On average, ready-to-ship items may take seven days to ship. Made-to-order items will vary, but on average, it takes 14-30 business days to complete, and shipping will occur once completed.

Please keep in mind that we also take our time packaging the items to ensure that the jewelry or art is packaged safely for transit to you. Dry times may vary for art for safe shipping, and we will keep you updated on when the art will be safe to ship. We prefer to ship items out on Mondays so we can easily track the shipping during the week, but we will ship on other days for expedited orders.

If ordering multiple items with different processing times, your order will ship when all items have been completed (subject to the longest processing time).

If you have any questions about processing times, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Wholesale inquiries are welcome! We will consider wholesale requests on an individual case-by-case basis.

Please see individual item descriptions for details about size. Most of our items include specific size information and guidelines in the “Size Chart” box of each listing description and in the full description of each item.

If you have any questions about the size of a piece of art or jewelry and don’t see your answer in the item description, please contact us! We’re happy to help!

Some items will have individual care instructions and information about the materials in the item descriptions. If you have any questions about caring for your new art or jewelry and don’t see your answer in the item description, please contact us! We’re happy to help!

Yes, all of our sterling silver jewelry is solid .925 sterling silver and bears the sterling silver .925 hallmark.

We also use fine silver elements in some of our designs. Fine silver is 95-99% pure silver and will be denoted as such in the item’s description.

Yes, we offer a selection of jewelry designs in solid 14k and 18k gold. These pieces will be denoted as such in the item description and will bear the 14k or 18k gold hallmark (with the exception of solid gold elements which are too small to bear a hallmark).

Additionally, if you see a design you love in another metal and would like us to create it in solid gold, please contact us for availability and pricing. We are happy to work with you in creating a custom piece you’ll love!

Gold filled jewelry is created using a sheet of solid gold, which must constitute at least 5% (1/20) of the item’s total weight, which is pressure and heat bonded to a sterling silver or base metal core (such as jeweler’s brass).

Creating gold filled materials is a unique and technical process, and only a few mills in the world do this.

Gold filled items are 5-10 times thicker gold layer than regular gold plating and 15-25 times thicker than gold electroplate, making it much more valuable and longer lasting because it is a layer of actual karat gold, not a microscopic film.

Gold filled does not de-laminate or peel like plated or “dipped” pieces, and with proper care it can last for as long as 30 years.

The copper used in our designs is pure, raw, solid copper. It is not treated, lacquered or coated in any way, so it will darken and develop a patina over time.

For some wearers, copper will leave a temporary green mark on your skin. It washes off with soap and water, and is harmless. If you have any questions about caring for copper or wearing copper, please feel free to contact us.

Jeweler’s Brass, also known as Red Brass or Merlin’s Gold is a type of brass that is higher in copper content than standard yellow brass (at approximately 85% copper) which gives it the same look and tone as 14k yellow gold.

Our jeweler’s brass jewelry is made of solid brass, which may darken and patina over time depending on conditions, though not as quickly as copper. These pieces are polished but not lacquered, and they are very easy to clean. For some wearers, brass will leave a temporary green mark on your skin. It washes off with soap and water, and is harmless. If you have any questions about caring for jeweler’s brass or wearing it, please feel free to contact us.

Yes. We take great pride in the selection of genuine stones and pearls we offer. Please see individual item descriptions for detailed information about the gemstones/pearls/components used in each design.

Our stones (unless otherwise stated in item descriptions) are genuine earth-mined precious and semi-precious stones that were carefully selected for each design. Most of our stones are also completely untreated. Any enhancements done to a stone will be clearly stated in the item’s description.

Our pearls are genuine untreated cultured freshwater and saltwater pearls of fine quality which were carefully hand selected for each design. We do not offer treated/dyed/manufactured pearls of any kind.

With the exception of our Sea Glass (which is genuine sea tumbled glass), Trade Glass (which is authentic recycled glass produced in Ghana), Specialty Glass Elements (such as our goldstone and blue-goldstone glass) and Cubic Zirconia Pave beads/findings (which will always be denoted as such in item descriptions) we do not use any man-made/manufactured gems in our jewelry designs.

If you have any questions or would like more details about a specific design or it’s components, and you don’t see your answer in the item’s description, please contact us. We’re happy to help!

This question can be scary for someone wanting to purchase art or jewelry, but we will work within your budget if possible. Please send us an inquiry for a quote. There is no obligation. We treat every commission like the work of art it is (whether it is a $100 or a $100,000 commission). Our commission minimum is based on the commission itself. Commissions vary in price based on the medium, metal, scale, stones, and subject matter. We’d be happy to draft an estimate for you. Please submit an inquiry, and we will follow up with an overview of our process and the initial details we need to provide a price range for your project.

Commission pricing varies widely depending on the medium, complexity, and materials:

• Past Project Pricing: $300–$15,000
• Custom jewelry commissions: Pricing is influenced by metal type, stones, and design intricacy.
• Custom artwork commissions: Pricing depends on scale, medium, and detail.

You are part of the process! Emotion and feeling are so crucial in the creation of art. We would love to hear your why? We encourage you to gather and send materials for reference in creating your commission, such as inspiration images, favorite past works by Rafi or Klee, design boards, interior color schemes, personalized touches, etc. Photos of the room where the artwork will hang + detailed wall/furniture dimensions are also helpful. There is no such thing as too much information.

Yes, this is a common commission request and something we’re happy to discuss.

Absolutely. Feedback is encouraged throughout the process, but most importantly (1) when compiling answers & materials via our initial questionnaire; and (2) when you receive the sketches and/or mock-up for review.

While we’re open to exploring a wide range of creative ideas, we focus on projects that align with our artistic style and vision. If a concept doesn’t fit, we’ll let you know and help refine your idea into something we can bring to life.

Not in the traditional sense. We’re full-time artists, not professional coaches—but we do offer one-on-one artist-to-artist sessions. It’s more of a conversation than a formal coaching call. We’re here to share our real-world experience, answer questions, offer insights, and help you navigate your creative path. If you’re looking for advice from people who live the artist life every day (studio mess and all), we’re happy to chat when time allows.

Whatever you want to discuss. Common topics include:

Brainstorming creative ideas

Setting short- or long-term goals

Art and website critiques

Defining your career purpose

Overcoming creative overwhelm

Designing a balanced creative lifestyle

You can choose between:

Calls are conducted via Google Meet for a seamless and interactive experience.

Sessions are held on Sundays only and are scheduled based on Eastern Time.

If you’ve been invited for a free session, click the link provided on our website and enter the password provided to schedule your session. As much as we’d love to do one-on-one video chats for free (and we absolutely do when we can), our time in the studio is limited. We put out a ton of free content—videos, podcasts, blogs, and more—to support fellow artists. But a personal chat is a deeper time commitment, and that means stepping away from the creative work that fuels everything we do. We’ve kept the pricing as low as possible to make it accessible, while still respecting our time and energy as full-time artists.

You should be able to reschedule from the email you received. If you are having trouble, please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule. Rescheduling requests are accepted up to 24 hours before your session.

Bring a clear idea of what you’d like to discuss or achieve during the session. If applicable, have links to your art, website, or materials ready to share.

We can record the session and email it to you. Just let us know.

Absolutely! Many artists benefit from ongoing coaching to stay motivated and achieve their goals. Contact us to discuss options for recurring sessions.
