I have always had a weakness for photo jewelry, such as lockets, for which to keep a loved one close to your heart (and of course, show them off!). I was particularly awed by the beautiful designs of Planet Jill; simple, small-scale, classic designs. But with prices starting at $70, I determined to find a way to make my own...
I wanted to make a quality piece without the heavy price tag. And happily, resin was suited perfectly!
The photo can be embedded inside the resin making it durable and waterproof. Using a mold eliminates the need for a pricey sterling frame, and I also rather like the simple look of the sparkling, clear resin.
I still love sterling, so the pendants hang from Sterling Silver Italian box chains (my favorite).
Custom necklaces are just $30, with a variety of styles and photo options available in my Etsy shop.
Custom photo necklaces are best choice as gift for someone special...
ReplyDeleteomgoodness...I love the first one pictured...the tear drop shape. How cool are these???1
ReplyDeleteI made a light box last week, seriously the best thing ever for taking photos with.
ReplyDeleteI just want to say Thank You for the light box instructions. My photos have turned out so much better. I will redo all the photos in my shop, so thanks again.
