Would you like something completely different? A special paperweight for a special occasion? Or just one incorporating your own ideas? It doesn't matter if you're not artistic, we can still help. We can have a personalized paperweight or a piece of bespoke art glass made just for you. Yet despite often involving us in a lot of extra work, it won't cost you anything more.
It may not make sound business sense to offer this service at all, let alone at no extra cost! Granted, it often does take us an inordinate amount of time. However it's the part of the business we most enjoy. And we've now reached the stage in life when pleasure comes before profit.
What's more, we offer a full money back guarantee even on customized paperweights. This even includes postage both ways, wherever in the world you are! The only exception is if the weight incorporates such personalisation as initials that make it difficult to sell to anyone else. In these cases we reserve the right to ask for a non-refundable deposit.
If you have something in mind, whether it's a completely new design or just a variation of a weight we have for sale, please click here to e-mail us. To help you there are some examples of custom weights on this page. Alternatively Click here to go to our Ideas Index.

We've had so many beautiful weights from our artists that have sold and are no longer in stock. However this doesn't mean that we can't get them made again for you or a variation of maybe colour, faceting or perhaps the addition of an overlay. Some of these can now be found on our Ideas pages.
Pictured above is the stunning millefiori overlay weight that is extremely popular. This was made by John and Craig Deacons together with Franco Toffolo. This can be made similar to the one in the picture or with a different colour cushion and lampwork.
