Charming Charms

This is how it works according to Yahoo.com:
An emerging fashion trend is providing family heirloom jewelry with a much-needed facelift
. While photo-lockets were the tradition of past generations, today's women are sporting 3-dimensional, precious metal charms created from their precious loved ones' photos.St. Louis jewelry designer Joel Ragan calls the new line "Baby Faces." Available at http://www.babyfaces.com , Ragan transforms photos into 3-D custom pendants for clients who call them heirlooms. [...]
Using computer technology, Ragan creates a 3-dimensional image from the child's photograph. He then transfers the image to a computer-aided milling machine, which carves a model of the charm from a block of wax. Finally, Ragan's custom jewelers take the wax model and cast it into silver, gold, or platinum Baby Faces charms, starting at $179.
They also have gift certificates available, so if you think this might be a good gift for someone but don't have a picture of their baby, this might be an option for you.
