When I added photo jewelry to J. Love Photography’s offerings, I hoped people would find creative and wonderful ways to use treasured photos in portrait jewelry. I’m not sure anyone has enjoyed the jewelry more than me, as I collect old family photos and have them displayed everywhere.

Recently, I was presented with the opportunity of scaling down and creating matching photo lockets for these sisters for a surprise Christmas gift.  This family of two brothers and three sisters lost their parents when they were all very young. There are few photographs of their parents. But their sister-in-law dug up a photo of their mother and one of their parents together and sent them to me via snail mail to create photo charms for them for Christmas gifts.  I burned them on CD for her for safekeeping and sharing with all of the kids as well as returning her original photos. All of the images were printed on canvas and soldered with pewter and glass to create this charm. Jewel Kade is the company I use to create these charms.

Teri promised to send me a photo of the three sisters together at Christmas. When I just got it, I wanted to share it with you. So here it is.  They all show a strong resemblence to their parents; attractive, dark hair, nice smiles, dark eyes… Their parents would be very proud, I’m sure. Here are the two photos I used to create their identical lockets. A one-of-a-kind gift from a one-of-a-kind sister-in-law!

As a female photographer whose clientele is mostly female, it stands to reason any jewelry that features photographs would intrigue me (a self-confessed jewelryaholic)!

So recently I added Jewel Kade to J. Love Photography’s mix. Women have loved it. And I haven’t gone a day without wearing it myself. I’ve now received my first photo charms and they are beautiful. My clients have been excited too.

My first charm was one I talked about in a previous post. I also posted the images I used in my first charm of my mother and my grandmothers. Although I have the image of my grammies on my desk, I now get to take them with me! Love it.

One evening while our daughter and I were playing with the Jewel Kade jewels, our granddaughter, Zoey, couldn’t resist either. So her mom dolled her up (notice her wrist charm has a “Z” on it) and off she went sporting her jewels. She LOVED it!

So clearly not only will our granddaughter be the most photographed baby we know, but she will also be one of the youngest ladies to sport Jewel Kade! LOL.

Be sure to check it out and call me if you’re interested. This jewelry makes wonderful gifts for seniors, showers, etc. If you don’t know what your graduate would like, we have gift certificates too!
