Ontologica materials are sourced as found objects in public spaces or sourced with ethical retailers. No specimens that are alive, restricted, or unethically procured are held or sold by Ontologica.

Though many are similar or batch-made, no two Ontologica pieces are ever identical. From the base of the shell, stone, wing, or bark, to the flecks of gold or bits of crystal, each piece has a spark that will make any wearer the center of the conversation.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

Pricing is based on the value of the piece in nature (certain shells are resources other organisms require for survival, where as bits of bark are a bit more disposable), the value of the man-made products (the price of gold has fluctuated a great deal over the past decade, for example), materials, and labor.

Certain custom requests will cost more due to time necessary for sourcing.

Repairs on any significant chipping or flaking or gold leaf within the first 6 months of ownership is free when cost of shipping is covered.

As Ontologica pieces are inherently fragile, we do advise that they be kept out of direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold, and away from any intense activity.

Ontologica pieces come with a lifetime re-coating service; if at any point your piece starts to significantly dull, please reach out for a free new coat of resin when

cost of shipping is covered by the buyer.
