Photo Pendants

Necklaces are enjoying increased popularity this fashion season, with metallic accent pieces ruling the runways. What better way to express your style and individuality while staying abreast of current trends than by wearing a smart and playful photo pendant?
Photo pendants are created from a sturdy, but lightweight blend of metals. This lead free alloy results in a lovely silver tone, pewter finish. Each hand fashioned pendant is designed to showcase two photos—one in front, and one in back—creating a reversible piece.
Each fashionable pendant comes with an 18 chain crafted of delicate interlocking rings and choice of lobster claw or toggle style clasps. The lobster claw clasp allows for the substitution of one s own chain of any desired length.
Photo Bracelets
Metallic accessories are a hot fashion trend, and intertwined loop designs dominate the market. Artisan crafted photo bracelets allow for the embracing of this trend with an uncommon and customizable twist.
Fashionable silver ovals loop together in this special piece to cradle a dual sided locket. This 3/4 square locket will display two photographs. The bracelets are skillfully crafted by hand from the same quality materials as the photo pendant. A dainty pearl graces the end of the bracelet s chain, and a lobster clasp allows for size adjustment from 7 to 8.5 .
Photo Pins
Photo pins, or brooches, are perhaps the most unique—and versatile— photo jewelry item. Imagine a new mother displaying her precious bundle of joy inside the frame of a photo pin. Or think of a young girl fastening several of the pins to a jacket or backpack for a funky photo showcase. Clipping a pin inside a briefcase or on a car s visor is a great way for dads to enjoy one of these finely crafted pewter delights as well.
Photo pins are rectangular and measure 1 high and 1.5 wide. Dual sided frames allow for the proud display of two photographic images. Two pin styles are currently available, each with individual charm and appeal.
Photo pins easily attach to a favorite jacket, blazer, or scarf. Create a one of a kind look by placing the pin at the neck of a dressy blouse, or pinning one to a hat or in the center of a hair ribbon.
Though sturdy enough to use on a tote bag or knapsack, photo pins are lightweight and delicate enough to wear on even the finest fabrics. The safety pin style clasp allows for ease of placement, repositioning, and removal.
Wearing photo jewelry is an interesting, whimsical way to participate in current style trends. Skilled artisans craft each of these artistic treasures by hand within the United States. Because of the hand made nature of the product, no two pieces are exactly alike. Each photo jewelry item bears subtle, but unique design characteristics, guaranteeing the wearer a one in a million look.
