It is a wedding ring that bears the relief of a place that binds you together. The summit of your first hike as a couple, the valley of a proposal, the village of one or the other: each of you keeps a fragment of your story on your finger. Here is how to create yours.
A Chaînon ring as a wedding or engagement ring?
It is something we noticed over time: many of our customers have chosen a ring bearing the mountain of their memories as the symbol of their union. Wedding, civil partnership, engagement ring: unlike a classic band, this ring tells your story and no one else’s. We reproduce in silver the real relief of the place you choose. No other ring carries the same design.
The story of Arthur and Merle, on the shores of Lake Como
They have been travelling Europe in a van for years. For his proposal, he wanted them each to wear the relief of Bellagio, on the shores of Lake Como. A memory that helped seal their story and remains a symbol for them.

Which place to choose for your wedding rings?
- the summit of your first hike together;
- the place of your proposal;
- the village or valley where you got married;
- the destination of your honeymoon;
- a mountain that is like the two of you.
No need for a famous summit: an address or the name of a village is enough. We then draw the relief and send you a 3D preview before anything is made.
Two matching rings, each one unique
Each ring is shaped to each person’s size, with its own framing. You can also choose different shapes or widths. For example, the Slim model for one and the Wide for the other:
- Slim (5 mm) at €339;
- Regular (8 mm) at €349;
- Wide (12 mm) at €359.
We offer two band shapes, one oval and one square. We also work with an artisan engraver in Paris, so each ring can be hand engraved: a date, initials or geographic coordinates.
And for an engagement ring?
The same principle works for a proposal. The mountain replaces the gemstone with a landscape. It is then worn on its own, or next to the wedding ring.
Lead times and making
Plan your order ahead of the wedding. First allow time for the drawing and your approvals. Then allow about one month of production. We model the relief in 3D, our caster in the 11th arrondissement pours the recycled sterling silver, and we shape each ring by hand in our workshop in the 20th arrondissement.
Finally, your rings arrive in a box with a 3D-printed relief and a personalised booklet. Delivery is free in France and the European Union.
