Taking a queue from the traditional lockets worn on a chain, photography has merged with jewelry designs to create unique jewelry that also functions as memorabilia. One example of this trend in jewelry and photography is My Life Designs. They offer a line of photo jewelry and accessories including pendants, necklaces, bracelets, and even rings.

From Camera Town.com: "The company's new Professional Photographer Program offers easy ordering through the website, where studios can upload client photos, keeping the process simple to administer. "Our retailers love highlighting their photography through our quality products, and we're excited about expanding our retail market in 2006 through shows like PMA.", says Kimbra Orr, My Life Designs' Owner and Designer.


In addition to the company's best-selling bracelets and necklaces, the new product line includes pewter belt buckles, sterling cell phone charms, new necklace designs, leather wallets, and sterling cufflinks. Corporate logos, children's artwork and ultrasound photos are some of the many other creative images used to create these memorable gifts.


"I had this incredible photo of our girls and wanted to have it made into a gift for their Grandmother. Everything I found was so cheesy, and would fall apart in a week. When I saw My Life Designs' pieces, they looked perfect, and turned out to be better than I expected! My mother cried when she opened the gift, and wears it every day. Now I am waiting to receive mine for Mother's Day!" explains customer Gwen Hale."
