A custom map creation process takes us up to 2 weeks (not including shipping times) as each map is designed, cut, and hand-finished by our small team, and some of the steps are done in batches.
Please note, we do everything we can to speed up the creation process in our studio to have the piece on its way to you quickly, but unfortunately, with international shipping, there are sometimes delays that are not in our control.

Selecting "Designer's Choice" for your map means that you would like our designer to choose the best style for your map design. Our designer considers the composition, structure, and location of your map and chooses whether to display streets only or add bodies of water or parks to your design.
We always send design previews and updates throughout the design process, so you will get to see how your design is coming along and have a chance to comment or make additional requests before we complete the design.
We offer two marker options to highlight a meaningful spot on your custom map.
- The pearl marker is a white freshwater pearl and can be added to necklaces, earrings, and brooches.
- The enamel marker can either be a small circle in black or white, or a red heart. It can be added to all jewelry types.
To add a marker to your map, while placing your order, go to the marker section in the custom map builder and choose your marker style.
Then, drag the red dot on the map view to the exact location.
You can also write us the exact address/location for the marker in the order notes, before you checkout.
To add a marker to an existing order (at an additional cost), please contact us with our order number and marker location details within 48 hours of placing your order.
The map wraps around the finger to create a ring, so one diagonal will be featured on the ring while the two other corners will be less visible.
The default design features the top right to bottom left diagonal of the map.
To choose your preferred design, use the orientation button on the jewelry preview screen.
To change your ring orientation after placing your order, please email us with your order number and information contact our Customer Support Team.
Our ring size is a US 6.5 with an open back, by default.
If you have a different size, please write it in the order notes or write us ASAP.
At the checkout you may choose a small or large ring, this refers to the size of the centerpiece (the map itself).
Large ring: Centerpiece measures: 1.5in / 38mm
Small ring: Centerpiece measures: 1in / 28mm
Water bodies and parks can be filled-in solid or not be included at all. It depends on the composition and what best suits the design. Sometimes the delicate lines of the roads give a better representation of the place and adding solid areas outweighs the composition.
To preview the different map styles on your design, use the paint bucket button on the jewelry view.
Unfortunately, cufflinks are not yet part of our collection.
Our current selection of jewelry includes necklaces, rings, earrings, lapel pins, and tie clips (coming soon!).
Our standard format of a custom map is a square.
Any other frames, such as triangles, diagonals, or circles can not be made.
If you want to request a little extra something for your map, please get in contact with our Customer Service Team.
Please provide your order number and what you would like to add. We will reach out to our designers and check if it’s possible!
From our experience with small shapes and letters, they, unfortunately, don't turn out well when sized down to our jewelry proportions.
Sizing up might be disproportionate to the composition the map.
If you don't see the red dot on your map view, it's possibly out of the map frame you have selected.
We recommend starting your map design by typing in the exact address you would like the marker to be on. That way, when you reach the step of adding a marker, it should appear on that address.
If you type in a city to start with, then the marker is placed on a "random" spot that marks the city on the map. And that place might be out of your selected frame so you can't see the red dot on your map view.
To add a marker to your map while placing your order, go to the marker section in the map builder and choose your marker style. Then, drag the red dot on the map view to the exact location where you would like it.
To add a marker to an existing order (at an additional cost), please contact us with our order number and marker location details within 48 hours of placing your order.
To add a marker to your map while placing your order, go to the marker section in the map builder and choose your marker style. Then, drag the red dot on the map view to the exact location where you would like it.
The marker needs to touch the silver/gold areas which represent the jewelry; the black area represents what will be cut out of the jewelry.

Unfortunately, we don't make silver or gold base custom map jewelry.
The creation technique we use is based on brass cutting, which allows us to create a very detailed and delicate map design.
Our silver and 24k gold plating are of a high standard with resistance when following the care instructions of the jewelry.
To take care of your piece and keep your gold and silver plated jewelry in good condition:
- Do not spray perfume or other sprays directly on the jewelry.
Instead, wait for it to be absorbed on the skin first and then put on your jewelry.
- Make sure to keep your jewelry away from direct contact with substances such as chlorine, perfume, cleaning products, etc.
Some chemical reactions with the metal can cause the jewelry to tarnish and lose its luster.
- Try not to apply hand sanitizer directly on the ring. (Or excessively wash your hands with the ring on)
- Keep jewelry in a dry area, with no excess moisture.
- Be gentle with your piece! It is handcrafted and delicate. ❤
If you would like to change your color selection from silver to gold or vice versa, please contact our team with your order number and request as soon as possible.
