Free cropping, transfer to black and white, and proofs.



Many of you already know this from experience, but for those who don't:

Jpg. proofs of cropping (*when cropping is necessary) and color transfers to black and white are emailed to our customers within 1-2 business days from the date a piece is ordered. This is a great way to really know that we've got the right emphasis for your photo.

From small to large and silver to gold...




----Inspired by the many requests of our customers we now offer a large (.75" x1") photo tile option for our popular Photo Tile Minis. Kind of a "Why didn't I think of that!" moment for me, so thanks to everyone who made requests.



Rounding out our Collection we have added to our silver charm bracelets a gorgeous new 14k Gold Fill Charm Bracelet. I don't even wear gold, but I think I may have to start, as I just adore how the gold enhances the tiles on this bracelet.

It's the little things...

The holidays are just around the corner and with all the craziness, it is ever more important to remember that it is the little things in life that truly matter.


Our new Tiny Treasure Photo Tile Necklace, with photo tile measuring in at just 1/4", takes this message to heart. From a distance it's a delicate charm, up close it is a personal reflection of the love we carry always.
................
.................

Optional Red and Green Tourmaline Semi Precious Gemstone Dangles, and matching Faceted Teardrop Earrings make this "little thing" a favorite for gift giving.

Christmas order by dates

Amazingly it's that time again. Before Thanksgiving and Halloween even pass us by, Christmas orders are to be contemplated...

Here are your options:

A. To get your regular photo jewelry order there by Christmas place your order by November 28th.

B. For those of you (like me) who prefer to start Christmas shopping in December, our very last date for placing rush orders is December 12th.

OK, now back to the present and looming deadline of kids Halloween costumes :)

Room service in Sweden?




We've entered the Swedish blogosphere! Room Service a blog out of Sweden wrote us up this past week.

Curiosity got the best of me and as learning Swedish did seem a bit extreme, I did the next best thing and went to WorldLingo and used their free online language translator. You can see the results below.

"Elemental Memories do wonderful photo jewelry. I would enough can to have a wriststrap entirely of berlocker - then might one with itself the entire family and little friends - yes and the cats so clear, they most important. The production goes to so that one sends in a photo that literally to be baked in in it lättviktskeramik through some kind's process. How a lot decorating uniting costs and if they deliver to Sweden sheep you question the shop on the net about. Certainly, one gets little ideas about who man would will have around their neck?"

Well you get the idea-

Thanks RoomService for thinking of us!

Sea Fever....


I must admit to a little "Sea Fever" lately. The nearest large body of water here in Vermont is not the ocean, though it is often cheerfully referred to as "the Inland Sea" or "the west coast of New England", or ...Lake Champlain.

I designed these new Azure Quartz Sea Drops in hopes of keeping the coast (the salty, freezing cold, large waved one I remember) a little nearer and dearer. They're listed over at Off Topic.

Let's go Sante Fe style...


Okay, so here is something really special, newly added to our Limited Editions. Hand forged and wrapped copper wire, turquoise beads, and of course the main attraction - the custom photo tile.

Limited Editions!





We are very excited to be introducing Limited Edition Photo Tile Jewelry designs to our customers.

Now we are making these pieces available as limited run designs. So if you see something you like, make sure to snap it up, or it may be gone!
