Megg’s custom engagement ring of El Capitan, Yosemite Valley, CA made of 14k white gold set with a repurposed family heirloom diamond
“Every day I look down at my ring and think how I truly cannot believe it belongs to me. It is the most beautiful piece I will ever have and it means so much that it came from Alissa, someone who is a beautiful person inside and out that makes you happy you worked with her and shared your dream ideas with! I have 5 pieces from her that I wear regularly and they are wearable mountain memories I will have for a lifetime.” -Megg

Once confirmation of desired location & style of jewelry is set, then the fabrication process will begin. A map of your location will be created, and I will then carve out a wax model of your piece. Once your wax model is confirmed, it will then be sent off to my caster to be turned into metal.

Most likely, yes! If you can find your desired location in Google maps, and it has dramatic topography then it is possible. There are some limitations, but I always want to make it work. The one thing I definitely can not achieve in metal are any places that are flat, i.e. anything at sea level or a flat city. The one thing to keep in mind is that the larger the area is, the less detail I will be able to incorporate into the piece. For example, if you love the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it’d be better to choose a particular range or peak within the Sierra rather than doing the entire range.
-
Each piece is hand carved and fabricated by myself. My business is one woman show, and you can rest assured that each piece is crafted with the upmost attention to detail, passion, and care. The entire process, from design time to completion of your piece will take about 6-12 weeks.

The base price for sterling silver custom Topo piece starts at $850.00 per piece, and a custom piece in 14k gold, 18k gold, and platinum will start at $1500 and from there, the price will fluctuate depending on the type of metal desired, the style of jewelry, and if you’d like any stones of your own added or would like me to source a stone for you. A 50%, NON-REFUNDABLE, deposit is required once a location is confirmed to begin the design process.
