What if they allowed Transmuters to do a special kind of commisioned adornment transfer? IE: You put in your current equipment with the adornment, then put in the equipment you want to transfer the adornment to. Transmuter and customer accept and the adornment is moved.

If ease of transferring is a problem, maybe tie in some kind of cost or rare into the commisioned recipe? I'm not sure what mechanics SOE would have to use to implements this, or if its even possible.
