A Rectangle Holds More of the Photo
Heart and round pendants require your photograph to be cropped into a curve, which usually means losing the edges of a group or the top of a building. A rectangle keeps the original proportions of a photo, so a custom picture necklace in this shape suits family groups, two or three people side by side, a full portrait with shoulders, or a landscape. It is also the shape most customers choose when they want a photo pendant that does not announce itself as sentimental.
How the Engraving Is Made
A laser is focused through the polished outer wall of the crystal and fractures the glass at controlled depths inside it. Millions of those microscopic points build your photograph as a form suspended in the pendant. Because the process is sub-surface, the outside stays completely smooth: there is no print, coating or resin layer to peel, and the image will not fade in sunlight or wear thin where the pendant rubs against a shirt.
Portrait or Landscape Orientation
Worn vertically, the pendant suits a single person, a couple standing together or a pet. Worn horizontally, it suits a family lined up, a wedding party, a skyline or a view. Tell us your preference in the order notes, or send the photo and let our design team recommend the orientation that keeps the most detail at pendant scale.
Engraving Text Alongside
The clear glass beside or beneath the image takes a name, a set of initials, a date or a short line. Common choices are a child's name with a birth date, a couple's initials with an anniversary, or a pet's name with two dates. Add the wording at checkout; there is no extra design charge, and we lay out the text so it does not crowd the photograph.
Care, Proof and Shipping
Crystal does not tarnish or react to skin, and the sealed engraving needs no protection, so day-to-day wear is fine; we only suggest removing it for swimming to protect the chain. Upload your photo at checkout and a designer emails a free digital proof, usually within a day, revising until you approve. The finished necklace is packed in a gift box with a microfiber cloth and ships within 3-5 business days in the US.
