Old or Faded Photos
Old Polaroids, printed photographs and faded images can often be carefully prepared for beautiful results.














Creating your photo jewelry is simple. Send us your favorite photo, and our experienced team in Great Falls, Montana takes care of everything from preparing the image to the finished engraving.
Upload your photo when ordering. It can be a phone photo, digital image, scan or even a picture of an older printed photograph.
Every photo is individually reviewed and prepared by an experienced member of our team. We crop, adjust contrast, sharpen details and make the changes needed to help your image look its best on the piece you've selected.
Your prepared image is permanently etched into the metal using our high-definition engraving process.
Your finished piece is carefully inspected before leaving our Great Falls facility. Most photo pieces ship within 24 hours.
Some of the most meaningful photos aren't perfect. Our experienced photo artists have spent more than a decade learning how to prepare difficult images for personalized keepsakes.
Old Polaroids, printed photographs and faded images can often be carefully prepared for beautiful results.
Don't want something in the photo? Our artists can often remove people, backgrounds or unwanted objects.
Have the perfect photos, but the people aren't together? We can often combine subjects from separate images into one composition.
We can adjust contrast, sharpen important details, repair damaged areas and make other careful edits to prepare your image for engraving.
Send us what you have. An experienced member of our team will review it, and if we believe another photo would give you a better result, we'll let you know.
This isn't a photograph simply printed onto the surface. On our standard engraved photo pieces, your image is permanently etched into the metal so the photograph becomes part of the piece itself.
Your image becomes part of the metal itself rather than sitting as a temporary print on top of the surface.
Most of our traditional photo pieces use high-definition impact engraving to reproduce the important details in your prepared image.
The engraved photograph is permanent and does not simply rub or wear away from normal surface contact.
Every photo is reviewed, edited and prepared by an experienced member of our Great Falls team. Our photo artists have spent more than a decade learning how to turn real-world photographs into beautiful personalized keepsakes.
Our photo-preparation team has years of hands-on experience working with thousands of customer images.
Your image isn't simply dropped into an automated filter. A real artist reviews the photo and prepares it for the specific piece you've selected.
If we believe a different image will give you a better result, we'll contact you rather than simply engraving something we don't think will look right.
You don't have to figure it out on your own. Send us the photo you have and our experienced team can help determine the best way to use it.
