----------------------- Charms -------------------------

I offer two types of Photo Charms: Epoxy Sealed Metal Photo Charms and Silver Soldered Glass Photo Charms.

Each charm is completely handmade by me from start to finish, and requires a significant amount of time, labor and materials to make your special photos into "Charming Treasures"!


♥Epoxy Sealed Metal Photo Charms (see photos 2 & 3 above)

https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/169811582/custom-photo-charms-made-to-order?click_key=e369e09758bac8fb482f13df19b1aafb85352c27%3A169811582&click_sum=ce2afa1c&ga_search_query=photo%2Bcharm&ref=shop_items_search_55&sts=1

Your photos are re-sized by computer program to fit my metal bezel charm bases, of various sizes and shapes. Please note, in most cases the subject matter, dimensions and the angle by which the photo is taken will determine which metal bezel charm your photo will fit best in. Your photos are then printed onto a high quality, waterproof photo paper. Once dry, they are precisely cut to fit each bezel charm base. Each photo charm is then set with a glossy clear epoxy that requires a minimum of 24 hours of curing time before they can be handled and assembled onto jewelry. When dry, the epoxy sealant turns into a hard, glass like finish. (Beware of photo charms sealed with "glass domes" as they WILL eventually pop off and are not a permanent means of sealing any charm). Please note, the metal photo charms are SINGLE sided, so only one photo per charm. Naturally, with any remake of photos with any sealant, the image may vary slightly from the original.


♥Silver Soldered Glass Photo Charms (see photo 1 above)

https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/508096877/soldered-photo-charms-sterling-silver?click_key=5855534ceb03fc7e65c4ec4ba0037e98b5dac606%3A508096877&click_sum=622708e1&ref=shop_home_feat_2&sts=1

Your photos are re-sized by computer program to fit the desired soldered glass size. Your photos are then printed onto a high quality, waterproof photo paper. Once dry, they are sandwiched in between two pieces of clear glass. Because I cut my own glass, I offer just about any size and straight cut dimension, from 1/2" to a maximum of 2" x 2" squared. Examples would be 3/4" x 3/4" squared, which is the most common charm size, or a 1" x 2" rectangle, which is the most common pendant size, and 2" x 2" squared is the most common for photo ornaments, etc. The glass encased image is then sealed and hand soldered on both sides with lead free sterling silver. Please note, the soldered glass photo charms are DOUBLE sided. YOU provide TWO photos, images, wording, and/or date, (one for each side). Each charm is hand made and soldered by me and not by machine or ready made frames. Sometimes solder may not seem perfect and this is part of the nature of the piece, which is what it makes them so special.



----------------------- Bracelets ------------------------

I offer two styles of Bracelets: Link Chain Bracelets and Bangle Bracelets


♥Link Chain Bracelets (see photos 3 - 7 above)

The links of the bracelet are round and identical, joined in a simple alternating sequence making this style of bracelet is the most popular for adding charms to, both large and small.
These are available in either 925 sterling silver plated -OR- PURE 925 sterling silver. Both styles are marked with 925.

Silver Plated bracelets come with the double heart charms as shown, with a Lobster Claw Closure, 7.5 inches long (see photo 4)
PURE 925 Sterling Silver bracelets are 8 inches long with a beautiful CZ studded heart with a key toggle clasp, as shown in photos 5-7.

**Any style of bracelet ordered can be lengthened OR shortened if needed.

NOTE: Children's sizes/pricing are also available. 6.5 inches is the maximum length for a child's bracelet. Any longer would convert to the standard adult size and price bracelets. Due to the shorter length, this bracelets will only hold about 8 charms max plus some beads and bling. Message me for children's sized bracelets and pricing.

♥Bangle Bracelets (see photos 9 & 10 above)

Bangles are awesome because they're adjustable AND they're stackable. Bangles are available in either Stainless Steel Silver -OR- Brass

My stainless steel bangles are made of 316L surgical stainless steel for extra corrosion resistance. (see photo 8 above) Not only are they corrosion-resistant steel, they are beautiful with two fixed decorative beads...by far THE nicest quality bangles I've found yet! Stainless Steel does not tarnish or turn color. Each is about 2.3" in width, expandable to 3".

My brass bangles sweet and simple, made of Nickel free brass with an easy hook clasp. (see photo 9 above) Standard 2 1/2" width, non expandable.



----------------------- Photos --------------------------

Please consider these important notes about your images and photos:

♥Photo Quality:
Your images will be used at their original resolution and file size. The better the quality and resolution of the photo, the better quality and clarity the charm. If a facebook, cell phone or scanned photo is all you have, I can enhance somewhat to get the best look. Even if your photo has damage or flaws, it's OK because remember, your photos will be shrunk so significantly to charm size, that any flaws are shrunk as well, and therefore hardly noticeable once re-sized. Of course, with any remake, the final photo charm process may vary slightly from the original photo.

♥Color:
Color photo charms are recommended for best image visibility quality, followed by Black & White and a Vintage brown tint. You can send me tinted photos, or I can convert your color photos to B & W or Vintage brown for you. **If NO tint is specified, your photos will be used in the shade they are submitted as. If you want photo charms made in other than color, you MUST specify when placing your order, regardless of what the listing photo example shows that you purchased your charms from.

♥Subject Matter:
Please do NOT crop your photo or people out of the photo for me. Simply send the original full size photo with instructions. Due to the small size of the charm, please keep in mind it is best to have ONE or TWO people (or pets) pictured in each photo charm. Any more will cause the subject matter to be less visible. For example, a family/group photo of 5 people will result in a charm that is very difficult to see everyone's face. Consider this... charms can also be made from quotes, scripture, Vector initials, cartoons, lace, even your own artwork, etc.

♥Permission:
Once you submit your photo/images to me you are thereby acknowledging that you own the copyright to the images or have obtained written permission of the copyright owner. Any copyright infringements will be directed back to you, the supplier of the photo/image. Furthermore, any jewelry that is then reproduced with the images you have provided may be showcased as samples for custom orders, unless otherwise advised by you not to.

♥Sending Photos:
Once your order has been placed, please send your photos via the "contact" or "conversation" link on my Etsy page, which is essentially Etsy's email, where we will be able to communicate with each other. At the bottom right hand corner of each conversation block, you will see "Attach Image" where you can upload and send me up to three photo images at a time.


----------------Questions ?-----------------------

If you have ANY questions whatsoever, I'm here to help guide you through the process of turning your images into personalized treasures to wear and cherish for a lifetime.
