Inspirational Key Chains

I have designed and am in the mode of posting to our shop some key chains that have inspirational messages or photos.  I have kept these designs simple (without dangles and beads) so they can be used by anyone.  I have the metal settings (that hold the glass) in silver, antique brass and antique copper.  You can choose to have any of these three colors for the designs that I have.

Art Key Chains -- Great Gift Idea

For those people whom may not wear a lot of jewelry, a key chain with a special photo or art piece is always a great gift idea.  Here are a few of the art key chains that I've created lately.

Photo Gifts bring Happiness and a Smile!

Here are some more of the darling photo gifts that I made prior to Christmas.  Hopefully they will inspire you to envision a photo gift that you would like to give for Valentines or Mother's Day --- both coming upon us really soon!

Here is the front and back of a bag charm

 which I made for a dear friend -- 

designed with photos of her grandchildren.

 Here is a 2 charm bag charm for another grandma.

 This bag charm included a stamped sterling silver disc.

The customer of this darling 3 charm bag cluster decided to order one for herself after she had given one as a gift for Christmas.  She chose to have the photos done in a sepia tone and then have chocolate and turquoise beads.

Darling little guy is shown in a large

 puffy rectangle bag charm with beads.

Several customers wanted to order my new locket.

This customer had a darling photo of her children

set under the round domed glass inside the locket. 

My Photo Magnet Set was another popular gift

 for customers to purchase.  I sent them in this

 darling tin with a glass front.

A heart pendant was another popular gift item.

Here is a large puffy rectangle glass made with

 a silver tube bail.

I love this photo of the baby on a butterfly rug. 

It turned out so cute in the small puffy rectangle glass 

which is dangling from a matching beaded necklace.

I want to give a big thanks to all of my wonderful customers for bringing me joy I receive in making these sweet little keepsakes for them and their loved ones.  They definitely make me smile!

Photo Gifts Sharing

I worked on many custom photo gifts during November and December.  I'd like to share photos of some of the finished product.

Key chains were very popular as a gift.  Most people bought them for a grandpa or grandma to have.  This one brings a smile to my face every time I see it.  It has 3 photos of one child --- with such a happy face!

This one highlighted the family in the bottom rectangle charm and then their daughter in different sizes and shapes of charms with an added hand stamped sterling silver disc saying "We (heart) You".

This Large Rectangle Glass Photo Charm had a photo of all 3 children incorporated in the design.  On the back of the Charm was written a special message.

The next 2 key chains were made with the Antique Copper look and hand stamped copper disc.  They had the large puffy rectangle photo glass charm.

Bracelets were also a very popular gift to order.  Here is one of a small girl and another with a square charm of an engaged couple.

The following were ordered by a professional photographer to give as gifts to her clients.  They were Medium ( 1.4") square puffy glass pendants with a silver snake chain.

I hope these photo gift example give you some ideas of your own and brought a smile to your day!  Next post I'll share some more cute gift examples.

Newborn Photo Shoot

I was able to take the photos from my nieces newborn baby photo shoot and make several gifts for her.  They really turned out cute.  I especially wanted to try a few different things that I could share with everyone.

On the magnet set, I wanted to use the puffy square glass and the large oval domed glass.  I love how they compliment each other and this magnet set turned out so very precious!

I wanted to do the same sort of thing on the Bag Charm.  My niece is a hair stylist and she is excited to hang this charm cluster in her booth!  I used the new vintage brass clasp and chain along with matching beads and dangles.

The brass vintage layered necklace ended up being very delightful with the large domed oval glass set in this vintage filigree pendant setting.

 These are just a few ideas that you can have made with some of those darling photos that you have taken. :)

Christmas Glass Pendants with Metallic Photo Paper

I've gotten my Christmas line of glass pendants listed!!  Better yet, I'm listing them with a great introductory price --- at only $6.50!!  This will include the Waterproof Resin that I put on all of my pendants and the chain or cord of your choice.

What I really like about these pendants is the kind of paper that I printed the images on.  It is a metallic photo paper with a pearlescent surface.  I send these images to a professional photo print shop out of state and I just love the job that they do in printing.

I'm already thinking of people that I can surprise with one of these as a gift!  Friends, family, coworkers, teachers, etc. etc. . . 


Hope everyone gets them early so they can wear them a lot during the season.  Because I know that they are going to absolutely love them!

You can find them listed online in our shop here.



 NOTE:  I only have 1 of each listed, so if you'd like to purchase more than one of a design, please email me and I'll make you a custom listing.  julkid@gmail.com
