Photo Jewelry as a Gift Idea

Photo jewelry can make a unique and memorable statement when it’s time to give a gift for a special occasion. In our modern culture, photographic images are everywhere. Images that are captured by cameras hang in museums, are framed on individuals’ dressers and desks, hang over fireplaces, are sent via cell phones and are transformed into life-size cutouts of celebrity icons. Cameras are more capable of capturing reality than ever before. Full color, digital, high quality snapshots can now be produced by nearly anyone in the population. Photography is art and can effectively express emotions, sentiment and deep feelings. As the saying goes: 'A picture is worth a thousand words.' By incorporating photographic images in a necklace, bracelet, pin, earrings, charms, and business card containers, an object that would have been special anyway now becomes a treasure. When a special event occurs, commemorating the occasion by creating a treasured, wearable heirloom as a gift can be a marvelous idea. Here are some possibilities:

- Wedding gift: Many happy brides and grooms receive toasters, silverware and blenders. While these are perfectly wonderful and useful gifts, they aren’t items that will be shown off to everyone in the office. When a bride receives a charm bracelet with dangling photos of her happiest of days, she will surely display it for all to see. A groom may even be the one to present this treasure to his new wife. While he might not be interested in bangles for himself, he may want to have a business card holder on his desk of himself and his new wife standing in front of the Eiffel Tower on their honeymoon. Now that’s a conversation starter!

- Baby present: When a new baby is born, capturing this miraculous tot on film is fun for all. Necklaces and bracelets assembled with silver framed photos of the infant’s sweet face, replica of his or her first footprint and a miniscule copy of the birth certificate can become a treasure for Mommy or Grandma. Booties and bonnets are nice, but photo jewelry is forever.

- Graduation: To capture the festivities of a college or high school degree finally completed, having a piece of jewelry produced can be a special way of saying 'congratulations.' Pictures of the school, the graduate in cap and gown and even some of the celebratory party can make a very special memento that will be treasured for years to come. Even a small reproduction of the degree can be added for a fun touch.

- Pet owner’s birthday: We all love our pets. What birthday present could be more whimsical than a charm bracelet with your best friends’ pooches’ or kitties’ furry faces commemorated in dangling silver frames? When your friend goes out of town, all she has to do is look down at her birthday present and smile about her pets and her best friend, both of whom she’s missing but has brought along via her accessory.

Photo jewelry is a modern and sensitive way of saying that a person or event is very important to you. Wearing their imagery in classy silver frames is a way of carrying them with you wherever you go.
