An Everyday Object That Holds a Photograph
A photo frame gets looked at occasionally. A keychain is handled several times a day, which is why a heart keychain with photo has become one of our most-repeated orders: partners, mothers, grandparents and people who have lost a pet all want the picture with them rather than on a shelf. The heart shape reads as affectionate without being fragile, and at keyring scale the curved crystal catches light every time it moves.
Engraved Inside the Crystal
The image is not printed, laminated or set under resin. A laser passes through the polished surface of the crystal and fractures it at precise internal depths, and millions of those microscopic points form your photograph as a solid shape inside the heart. The outside is untouched, so keys, coins and pocket lint cannot reach the picture. Over years the polish may pick up fine marks; the engraving does not change at all.
Choosing the Photo
Because a keychain heart is small, the subject must be close in the original photo. One face, or two people cheek to cheek, fills the shape properly. A photo taken from across a room, a full-length shot or a group of five will lose the detail that makes it recognisable, and we tell you that when we prepare the proof rather than engraving it anyway. A close phone photo in daylight is an excellent source file.
The Lighted Version
The LED heart keychain has a small light in the metal frame. Press it and light enters the crystal from the base, travels through the clear glass and stops at the engraved points, which glow while the rest of the heart stays invisible. It is the version most often chosen as a memorial keepsake, and the one children ask to hold.
Text, Proof and Shipping
Names, initials, birth dates, anniversaries and a pet's two dates can be engraved beside the image; add the wording at checkout at no extra charge. A designer prepares your file and emails a free digital proof, usually within a day, with revisions until you approve. The finished heart keychain is packed in a gift box with a microfiber cloth and ships within 3-5 business days in the US.
