Frequently Asked Questions About Photo Engraved Jewellery

1. Can you engrave a real photo onto a necklace?

Yes. We use precision laser engraving to permanently engrave your chosen photograph onto the pendant. Unlike printed images or stickers, the image is engraved directly into the metal, creating a detailed keepsake that won't peel away over time.

2. What is the best photo to use?

The best photos are:

  • High resolution

  • Good lighting

  • Clear faces

  • Minimal blur

  • Not heavily filtered

Close-up photos usually produce the best engraving because facial details remain sharp.

3. Can you engrave old photographs?

Absolutely.

Many customers upload scanned family photographs, wedding pictures, baby photos or memorial images. We carefully prepare every image before engraving to achieve the clearest possible result.

4. Will my photo fade over time?

No.

Your image is laser engraved into the metal itself rather than printed on top. With normal wear and care, the engraving is designed to last for years.

5. Is the engraving permanent?

Yes.

Laser engraving permanently removes a microscopic layer of the metal surface to create your image. It won't rub off like printing.

6. Can I engrave a memorial photo?

Yes.

Many people choose a treasured photograph of a loved one or pet to create a lasting memorial keepsake they can carry every day.

Popular choices include:

  • Parents

  • Grandparents

  • Children

  • Partners

  • Dogs

  • Cats

7. Can I engrave a pet photo?

Definitely.

Dogs and cats are among our most popular photo engravings. A favourite pet photo makes a meaningful keepsake or sympathy gift.

8. Can I engrave more than one person?

Yes.

As long as everyone is clearly visible, we can engrave multiple people onto the pendant.

Family photos, wedding photos and couple photos are all popular choices.

9. What if my photo isn't perfect?

Don't worry.

We'll optimise your image before engraving where possible by adjusting brightness, contrast and cropping to achieve the best possible result.

10. Can I see a preview?

The photo you upload will be professionally prepared for engraving.

Because laser engraving creates images differently from a normal photograph, the final engraved result will naturally look different from the original colour image while preserving the important details.

11. What material is the jewellery made from?

Our jewellery is made from premium 316L stainless steel with selected designs available in beautiful 18k gold plating.

Our jewellery is:

  • Water resistant

  • Rust resistant

  • Hypoallergenic

  • Designed for everyday wear

12. Will the jewellery tarnish?

Our stainless steel jewellery is designed to resist tarnishing with proper care.

Gold-plated jewellery should be kept away from harsh chemicals to help preserve its finish for as long as possible.

13. Can I wear it every day?

Yes.

Many customers wear their engraved jewellery every day because it's made using durable stainless steel & Gold PVD that's suitable for everyday wear.

14. Is it waterproof?

Our stainless steel and Gold PVD jewellery is water resistant.

To help keep your jewellery looking its best, we recommend removing gold-plated pieces before swimming, showering or using perfumes and lotions.

15. Does the engraving scratch off?

No.

Because the image is engraved into the metal rather than printed on the surface, it won't scratch off under normal use.

16. Is this a good gift?

Photo engraved jewellery is one of the most meaningful personalised gifts because it captures a memory that can be carried every day.

Popular occasions include:

  • Birthdays

  • Christmas

  • Mother's Day

  • Father's Day

  • Anniversaries

  • Weddings

  • Valentine's Day

  • New baby gifts

  • Memorial gifts

17. What occasions is photo jewellery perfect for?

Customers often create photo jewellery for:

  • Wedding photos

  • Baby photos

  • Holiday memories

  • First home

  • Graduation

  • Engagement

  • Pet remembrance

  • Family portraits

18. Can I engrave a black and white photo?

Yes.

Both colour and black-and-white photographs engrave beautifully.

19. How long does personalised jewellery take?

Every piece is individually engraved to order before being carefully packaged and dispatched.
