Photo Jewelry Is More Beautiful Than Ever

Advanced techniques in photo jewelry printing and engraving provide exciting new opportunities for personalized gifts and family heirlooms. Suppliers offer everything from waterproof photographic paper and prints encased in plastic or crystal to high-quality images printed directly on metal surfaces. Several companies even offer pendants cut into the shape of a customer’s pet with fur and other details etched into the metal.To get more news about photo bracelet, you can visit koalaprint.com official website.

“The trick with engraving jewelry is making it permanent,” says Daniel Schifter, co-owner of the family-run business Pictures On Gold. “Especially when you’re dealing with color, which has tendency to fade. I dealt with durability issues throughout the years, so I created a patented process that makes color images vivid and rock-solid permanent.”

Pictures On Gold, a division of Photograve Corporation, is a high-tech jewelry engraving business based in Staten Island, New York. The company has spent the last 23 years fine-tuning photoengraving technology to improve image resolution and longevity. They use a proprietary technique that’s different from most other photoengraving processes.
Color quality and permanency are the biggest differences between Pictures On Gold and its competitors, according to Schifter. “The engraving equipment is also higher definition than that used by some of the smaller companies. The dpi is much higher. It’s faster and it’s more industrial. There’s a notable difference in the final product.”

Schifter started the business with his father, a jeweler, in 1995. “I had just graduated from high school when my father came up with the idea to offer photoengraving services to his own and other jewelry store customers,” he recalls. “He bought photoengraving equipment from a European company and asked me to accompany him overseas for the training session.

“He was to do the training. I was just along as backup,” says Schifter, who was college-bound in the fall. But jet lag lulled his father to sleep during the training session and left young Schifter in a quandary. “It was a relatively new technology at the time, and I was more tech-savvy than my father. So I just took the bull by the horns and ran with it.” He’s been running the business ever since.
The Always in My Heart heart-shaped photo locket is the company’s best-selling product. Schifter and his team developed a patented process to laser the customer’s image inside the locket on a modified interior. As a result, they apply the image to a flat surface instead of the concave shape of a normal locket. The finished product is permanent, waterproof and scratchproof; the customer can wear it anywhere, including in a pool.

In addition, stainless steel photo dog tags are a popular product for men, according to Schifter. “We also offer a rectangle keychain that’s popular with both men and women. I carry one around with a picture of my children, because I work so many hours. It’s comforting to know I always have my kids with me.”On the high end, Pictures On Gold sells custom Swiss Quartzline photo-laser watches for men and women. “They’re not cheap,” says Schifter. “We try to put out a Bravado-style watch, with high-quality Swiss movements and a durable sapphire crystal.

“Our photoengraving process is guaranteed to last a lifetime, whether it’s on a simple charm bracelet or a custom Swiss watch. They are durable and cost-effective gifts for people who want to keep their loved ones with them at all times.”Jewelry Keepsakes, located in Great Falls, Montana, specializes in engraved and memorial jewelry. Since its founding in 2005, the company has focused on preserving memories for its customers. It provides pendants, bracelets, rings and also other gifts designed to hold the ashes of family members and pets. In 2009, Jewelry Keepsakes added black-and-white photoengraving to its services. In addition, it now offers hundreds of traditional and cremation jewelry and gift products.

Customers who wish to combine a photo and physical remembrance can choose a heart-, circle- or square-shaped cremation pendant or key ring and have it engraved with an image of their loved one. Each measures approximately 1×1 inch, and a small urn inside the pendant holds the remembrance.

The exterior face of the jewelry features the engraved image; the back is a sleek black enamel. Other photoengraved keepsakes include silver- and gold-plated stainless steel photo pendants, bracelets, dog tags, money clips, keychains and also wallet cards.
