As we’ve mentioned, photo engraved pendants are a top choice with many of our customers, and it's easy to see why! These works of art have become a novelty trend in jewelry and have been around for a while.

Ever heard the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words²”? The fact is that this kind of pendant has the power to say so much more than words ever could. Some examples of this are listed below:

Dog tags have always been great, out-of-the-box gift ideas, but a dog tag photo necklace is just another level up! Adding a photo engraving makes this kind of gift much more memorable and special, and with our high-quality features listed below, this should come as no surprise.

There are lots of customization options available for our dog tags.

If you think dog tags are only for those who are or have been in the military, think again! This is a stylish trend that anyone can pull off. They certainly don’t have to be strict to be worn, either.

This kind of jewelry can be dynamically functional:

Sometimes, more than black-and-white is needed. Many customers prefer color-engraved pendants. Color pendants ensure that whatever special moment they’re celebrating can be represented in a lifelike and vibrant way.

Color pendants really capture the essence of life’s most precious memories. When buying a color photo pendant, you want to make sure you’re getting the best quality!

You'll need to know the standard features to look for to recognize the best-colored pendants. The highest-quality color engraved pendants will typically have the following characteristics:

Color photo engraved jewelry offers much to anyone looking to wear a favorite photo or moment caught in time. The unique quality of having a textured white background sets them apart from black-and-white grayscale pendants.

Are you looking to add extra personalization to your engraved jewelry purchase? If so, a birthstone pendant might be exactly what you want. The origin of birthstones dates back to biblical times and describes the breastplate worn by Aaron, the first high priest of the Isrealites. It wasn't until the first century that the stones in the breastplate were believed to be a connection to the 12 monts of the year and the 12 zodiac signs³.

Our beautiful birthstone pendants make perfect birthday gifts, memorial keepsakes, and more. The stone placement is not only a meaningful addition to your pendant jewelry but also adds a pleasing aesthetic element!

With a birthstone engraved pendant, you’ll want multiple pendant sizes and shapes to choose from. This will give you more creative freedom to customize your jewelry.

You also should consider pendants that allow for photo engraving, plus text engraving on the back. This ensures that your pendant will be as unique as your fingerprint!

We’ve got all the creative space you could want for customizing your piece of jewelry. We understand that our customers are all one of a kind, and we believe they deserve the same kind of personalization in their own jewelry pieces.

Are you looking to spice things up with engraved jewelry beyond the pendant? Our beaded pendant chains are an excellent option!

Beaded Personalized Photo Necklaces can add a funky, dainty, pretty, or even a bold look to your jewelry selection, whether your pendant is engraved with black and white, or popping with color. These chains allow you to shop for and create a gift as unique as the person you’re buying it for—even if that person is you!

Generally, beaded pendant necklaces should have lots of room for customization. This means lots of colors and style options to complete the special photo you’ve chosen for your pendant!

Do you love bold colors that stand out and draw the eye? Or are you looking for something subtle with nude tones? Either way, you’ll find what you're looking for (whether it's for yourself or a loved one).

Versatile and fun, we’ve got many options available to give you a chance to express your individuality fully. Plus, the chain styles are incredibly dynamic. They also work for youth, children, and the wiser, more seasoned fashionistas.

Our men's photo engraved pendants are designed especially for a masculine style. The clean, sharp edges and smooth finishes of our pendant options are just what a man tends to look for in a men’s pendant.

Just as high-quality as the rest of our keepsake jewelry, our men's pendants are the perfect gift for a husband, brother, boyfriend, or any other special man in your life!

This gift can be extended beyond necklace chains to keychains, money clips, and more. You will never have to struggle to buy gifts for the special men in your life again.

Men’s engraved pendants are a much-needed aid to those who constantly find it nearly impossible to buy gifts for their male family members, friends, and spouses.

A photo engraved bracelet is a great way to maintain consistent visibility of the keepsake itself. With an engraved bracelet, you can have your favorite photo conveniently dangling from a beautiful bracelet on your—or the gift receiver’s—wrist.

Bracelets are the perfect option for anyone who isn’t fond of wearing necklaces. They could also be a matching gift tied in with a necklace someone has already been gifted. Furthermore, a photo engraved bracelet could be a gift for yourself that connects with someone else you’ve gifted, or vice versa!

You have beautiful options to choose from, whether you go with a beaded style, luxury twist style, or the simpler stainless steel.

This is a widely loved option for buyers looking for gifts of all kinds. Keychains are easy keepsakes to give to anyone in our lives, but photo engraved keychains are a much more special and memorable gesture.

This pendant keychain could be a gift for anyone from family members to coworkers, and everyone else in-between. As an added bonus, you can have the photo of your choice engraved onto a keychain you already have, if not a new one from us!

These gifts are great for on-the-go enjoyment, no matter where your path may lead you.

Keychains are great for people who are always on-the-go.

Engraved wallet cards are a delightfully modern yet unique way to show someone you’re thinking of them. Give them something more than money to keep inside their wallets. Give them something priceless, instead.

An engraved wallet card is the upgraded version of simple wallet photos. Why carry pictures that can get ripped, torn, and bent when you can always have a portable, beautiful memento with you?

You can get up to six lines of text engraved, if you’d like! As always, choose any photo you’d like engraved, all on either a gold-plated or silver stainless steel wallet card.

This kind of gift would be an ideal option for those you know who simply don’t wear jewelry, and who also don’t like carrying a lot of keychains around.

This type of jewelry is extraordinarily special. Why? It has just enough space inside its pendant to hold the remains of a loved one’s ashes, also called cremains. Cremation has become quite a desirable option these days, and the ways in which people can physically hold onto the cremains of those who have passed on have expanded greatly.

Our photo engraved pendants that hold cremains provide two-in-one functionality for honoring those who have passed on. You can see your favorite photo of them, while also carrying a bit of their ashes with you wherever you go. Mix and match whichever birthstones, photos, and pendant shapes you would like that best represent your loved one.

These special pendants are designed to hang on your car's rearview mirror. It's a unique and easy way to keep someone's memory close to your mind's eye, whether they are geographically close to you or not. Make your commute more personable and pleasant by keeping your favorite person's photo within your line of sight—whether they are still with us—throughout all your daily travels.

It’s a great gift for those who do lots of commuting to and from work every day. While driving through traffic is not the most fun thing to do every day of the week, gifting a rearview mirror pendant with a memorable engraving of a special moment can really help brighten their day and put a smile on their face!

The unique design of our Photo Engraved Rearview Mirror Pendants gives them the appearance that they’re floating gracefully in the air.

There are many ways to make your rearview mirror pendant unique. For instance, you can choose from silver, gold, or rose gold plating, various pendant shapes, and even the option to store cremains inside these beautiful pieces of photo engraved jewelry.

Are you brainstorming a gift for your child's birthday? Or are you looking for something to give your niece or nephew? This can be even more important when you live far enough from your little ones that you feel the need to give them something they can remember you by.

Our Child’s Size Photo Jewelry is the perfect way to do just that. They will always remember who gave them they special pendant, complete with an engraved photo of them, you, or you and them together. Whether you’re together every day, or halfway across the world from each other, a photo engraved pendant is a wonderful gift for the special kid in your life.

Our child-sized jewelry is slightly smaller than our standard pendants for little hands. It's durable enough to withstand the test of time and can be easily wiped clean in case your little one gets into any sticky situations.

Our photo engraved jewelry can be designed specifically with your pets in mind, whether they are still with you or not.

These pendants are ideal for every pet lover to celebrate a favorite picture of their pet, a pet's adoption day, or as a souvenir for a pet who has passed away.

In the case of a pet’s passing, you may also want to consider the option of storing his or her cremains inside a photo engraved pendant for a necklace, wallet photo, rearview mirror pendant, or any other form of keepsake jewelry.
