Our Engraved Photo Jewelry - How Are We Different?
We believe we are the best of the best when it comes to engraved picture lockets. Let us tell you why!
- Materials. Many companies use a base metal such as copper and electroplate a coating onto the surface of the base metal. Over time, this finish can wear off, leaving you with an engraved picture necklace that is not what you expected. We use stainless steel which does not tarnish and provides a beautiful backdrop for your picture.
- Engraving. Many companies use a dot by dot engraving method which gives the resulting image a grainy quality. Our engraved portrait necklaces are etched into the stainless steel, resulting in an image that is very sharp and exceptionally detailed. Watch here how our engraved picture lockets are created.
- Background. Often times photos are engraved onto the surface with a background and you actually lose the picture in the background, making the pendant the star of the show and not the photo. With our picture engraved necklaces, we remove the background in the photo and engrave your image on a very light background, making the image the center of attention!
- Bail. The bail is the top of the pendant that attaches in some way to the necklace. Many companies place a jump ring at the top of their engraved portrait necklace. We use an elongated bail and this not only allows for the pendant to slide with ease on the included chain but also places your engraved picture necklace in the best possible position for display.
- Chain. There may or may not be a chain included with your engraved portrait necklace and often times you will find that the included chain is a ball chain or link chain. Our pendants include a 20” high quality snake chain and we offer several chain upgrades in a variety of finishes.
- Packaging. Standard packaging includes a cardboard ring box with a cotton platform for cushioning with many retailers. Your engraved picture locket necklace is placed on a velvet platform inside a jeweler’s velvet gift box which allows for great ‘wow’ factor when you open the jeweler’s gift box and displays the pendant beautifully.
- Reviews. Knowing what other customers think and what their experience was like is a key factor when buying online and several companies don’t offer many, if any, customer reviews. We take great pride in the customer reviews that we have and display those reviews right on the product page.
- Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB has a very strict rating system and getting the stamp of approval from the BBB can go a long way to assuring you that the company you’re using to buy your engraved picture necklace from is a quality company. We are proud of our A+ rating from the BBB!
- Shipping. If your shipment is coming from overseas, delivery can take anywhere from several days to weeks. All of our engraved picture lockets ship from the USA and we can ship same day, overnight, two day and standard shipping - several shipping options available. Most engraved picture necklace are delivered within 5-7 business days after your order is placed. - often times sooner!
- Phone Number. Often times when you’re looking to contact an online retailer about your engraved picture locket necklace, the phone number is difficult to find or one doesn’t exist.
