Eye Conic Gifts – Where Personal Becomes Permanent
I live a few blocks from Eye Conic Gifts, a Santa Monica studio known for iris photography and custom personalized jewelry. I walk past it on my way home from the gym. The first time I noticed it, I stopped. Something about it caught my eye. Pun intended.
Inside, it doesn’t feel like a typical storefront. It feels intentional, focused, and quietly magical.
That’s rare.
Eye Conic Gifts was founded by siblings June and Viri with a clear idea: most gifts are forgettable. They wanted to create something that isn’t.
In their Santa Monica studio, they transform personal details into custom art. Iris photography. Fingerprints. Lip prints. Paw prints. Family tree designs. Every piece starts with something uniquely yours and turns it into fine art or wearable jewelry.
Nothing is duplicated. Every design begins with you.
Iris Photography in Santa Monica That Feels Personal
There’s something unexpectedly powerful about seeing your own iris enlarged into a galaxy of color. Or your child’s fingerprint preserved in acrylic. Or your dog’s paw print turned into a necklace.
Couples preserve their bond through their irises. Parents capture their child’s print. Pet lovers honor their companions. Families create visual stories that can be displayed, worn, and passed down.
It’s personal without being cheesy. It’s refined without feeling sterile.
In the back, there’s a private photo studio where they do personalized sessions, from professional headshots to creative shoots that feel more like art than marketing.
The whole space has a certain energy. People aren’t just buying something. They’re participating in the creation of it.
And in a world where almost everything is mass-produced, that matters.
As a performer who specializes in intimate, high-impact shows, I’m always looking for spaces that feel intentional instead of generic.
It’s rare to find a space this personal and unexpected, which is exactly why it felt like the right place to launch the first stop of the Wildcard Road Show 2026.
On April 3, I’ll be taking over their Santa Monica studio for a one-hour close-up comedy, magic, and mentalism experience.
Limited seats. No stage. Just a close-up show inside one of the most unique creative spaces in Santa Monica.
