About Me
Welcome to Megan Clarithy Designs—where heritage, craftsmanship, and personal expression come together.
I am the sole designer and maker behind every piece you see here. My love for jewelry began at an early age, inspired by my grandmother, who spent over seventy years perfecting the art of custom monogram jewelry. She learned from her aunt, Carmen "Tauntee" Favrot, the original creator of our signature monogram fonts. Although my grandmother has passed, her influence lives on in everything I do and create.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I am so proud to continue this tradition, infusing every piece with the same care, elegance, and attention to detail that defined the generations before me. Each item is handcrafted in solid gold or sterling silver—designed to last, to tell your story, and to be cherished.
My collections include a wide range of personalized treasures: cuff bracelets, rings, pins, necklaces, belt buckles, tie tacks, cufflinks, wine charms, doorbells, salad sets, keychains, and more. Every design is made to order, with your individuality in mind. This is more than a business—it's a labor of love and a living tribute to the women who came before me. It is my honor to share this legacy with you.
Thank you for visiting. I hope you find a piece that speaks to your story.
About Jewelry
Facts about Gold
What is the difference between 10K, 12K, 14K, 18K, 22K and 24K Gold? There is a difference in purity, price, durability, color and even potential allergies. 24K gold is pure gold, but it too soft for jewelry. Therefore, alloys must be mixed in with the Gold in order to make it durable enough for everyday use. 10k Gold means ten parts of pure gold are mixed with 14 parts other metals that usually include silver, palladium, zinc, nickel, or copper, while 14K means means 14 parts Gold and 10 parts alloy. 18K gold is the perfect choice for a special occasion piece, those concerned with allergy, those seeking beautiful color vibrance and purity. The higher percentage of alloy metals makes 10k yellow gold more resistant to scratches and dents than higher-karat golds.
Regarding color ~ pure 24K gold is quite yellow. Therefore, the less pure the gold, the paler the color. 12K gold would therefore be a paler color yellow than 14K gold, although the color difference is very minimal.
Regarding price ~ the purer the gold, the higher the price.
Regarding potential allergies ~ allergies to gold are rare, but if you have an allergy to alloys, choosing 14K or 18K gold reduces the alloy content and potential for any allergic reaction to your jewelry.
Facts about Sterling Silver
Our Sterling Silver is made up of .925% silver, the remaining percentage is made up of copper. Copper is added to silver to give it durability. The copper content is what causes silver to tarnish. Sterling silver will tarnish. This is not a defect but the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air. Other common tarnish causing elements are wool, lotions, sunscreen and latex gloves. Humid environments will accelerate tarnishing as well. Many of our designers offer a rhodium coating making the sterling silver more tarnish resistant. Sterling silver can always be easily cleaned and restored to its original luster.
A portion of our sterling silver offerings are Argentium sterling silver - a modern silver alloy which modifies the traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with the metalloid germanium and is tarnish resistant. We also offer sterling silver with a rhodium plate coating for extra tarnish resistance.
