Commissioning crafts?

Calling all jewellery makers!

Is there a site where you can commission custom jewellery etc.? I don't mean a specific jeweller's workshop/website, but more a site where people can list commissions for items they'd like made to order.

I'm sure I'd seen such a site before, but can't remember the name of it for the life of me!

Any pointers appreciated...

    What about folksy or etsy? Maybe if you find someone who makes something similar to the style you like and ask them I'm
    sure they would try and make you something. I've had several people asking me to make something specific. I just made sure I knew exactly what they wanted and got them to email similar items.
