Custom Pet Portrait Necklace from Your Photo

Clear, well-lit photographs give us the most information to work with. Ideally, we should be able to see your pet’s eyes, facial shape, markings and other recognizable features without heavy shadows or blur.

High resolution is helpful, but it isn’t an absolute requirement. If the image you love is older, scanned or simply not perfect, upload it anyway. We can review the photograph and determine whether there’s enough information to create a strong engraving.

Yes. We send you the portrait artwork for approval before engraving the jewellery. If we’ve missed a marking, the expression doesn’t quite feel right or there’s something from another photograph you’d prefer us to use, let us know. We’ll work with you on the portrait before moving into production.

We don’t engrave the pendant until you’ve approved the artwork.

Usually, yes. The photograph is used as a reference rather than reproduced exactly as it appears. When creating the engraving artwork, we can remove backgrounds and simplify elements such as collars, leashes or other distractions when doing so produces a cleaner portrait.

If there’s something specific you want included or removed, mention it with your order.

We can create the artwork from virtually any pet we can clearly identify from your photographs. Dogs and cats are the most common, but there’s no reason the subject has to be either. Horses, rabbits, birds, reptiles and other animals can all work.

The quality of the reference photographs matters more than the species.

Your pet’s name can be included with the portrait on the front at no additional charge. For $10, we can also engrave the reverse of the pendant with a name, date, short message or another meaningful detail. This is particularly popular for gifts and memorial pieces.

If you have something longer or more unusual in mind, contact us before ordering so we can confirm that it will fit comfortably.

Yes. We can make custom versions in gold and can also discuss alternate pendant sizes. Because gold prices fluctuate and the amount of metal required depends on the piece, gold versions are quoted individually rather than offered at a fixed product-page price.

Use the website chat to tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll provide options.

We generally prepare your portrait artwork for approval within approximately three business days of receiving your order and usable photographs. After you’ve approved the artwork, production usually takes another one to two business days. Because every pendant is made to order, the timeline can vary somewhat depending on our workload and the complexity of the artwork.

Shipping time is additional and depends on your location. If you’re ordering for a specific birthday, holiday or other date, contact us before ordering and we’ll let you know what’s realistic.

Because the artwork and jewellery are created specifically for your pet and approved by you before production, custom orders are final sale. If your piece arrives damaged or there’s a genuine problem with the jewellery, contact us. We’ll review the issue and work with you to make it right.

Normal wear, scratches, tarnishing and changes caused by chemicals or improper care aren’t manufacturing defects, but sterling silver can often be cleaned, polished or refinished.
