The Hidden Photo Necklace

$89.99 Free shipping · Photograph included

A photograph you love, set inside the stone. You cannot see it by looking at the pendant. Hold a phone torch behind it and their face appears on the wall.

Any clear photograph works — a face, a pet, a whole family. We crop and set it in the stone by hand, and we will email you if yours will not read well before we make anything.

How it works

Three steps, then it's yours

Send us the photograph

A face, a pet, a whole family. The one in bad light you have never been able to delete works too.

We set it in the stone

Micro-etched inside the stone at the centre of the heart. Not printed on it. Inside it.

You hold it to a light

Any phone torch behind the stone, and the photograph appears on whatever is in front of it.

What it actually is

We'd rather tell you than have you find out

The photograph is micro-etched inside the stone set at the centre of the heart. It is not printed on the surface, and this is not a locket — it does not open. You see it by putting a light behind it, which is the whole point: nobody else notices it.

Finish Gold, rose gold or silver
Pendant Open heart, 15 g
Chain Fine cable chain
To see it Any phone torch
Made To order, nothing held in stock

If any of this turns out to be wrong about the piece you receive, that is our mistake to fix, not yours to live with.

Before you order

The questions we actually get

How do I actually see the photograph?

You hold a phone torch against the back of the stone and point the pendant at something pale — a wall, a ceiling, the inside of your hand. The photograph appears there. In ordinary light the stone just looks like a small dark stone, which is the part most people end up liking most.

Is it a locket? Does it open?

No. Nothing opens and there is no paper photograph inside. The image is etched into the stone itself, which is why it cannot fall out, fade or get wet.

What kind of photograph works best?

A clear one where the face is reasonably large in frame. Group photos work but everyone ends up small. If yours will not read well we email you before we make anything rather than sending you something disappointing.

How long does it take?

Each one is made to order and then posted to you. Most orders arrive within two weeks. We would rather tell you that plainly than promise a few days and miss it.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Not for a change of mind — it has one person's photograph in it and cannot be sold to anybody else. What we do cover: if we set the wrong photograph, or it arrives damaged, we remake it free. You confirm your photograph before you pay, and that step exists to protect you.

Can I pay with a card?

Checkout runs through PayPal, and you can pay with any major card there without holding a PayPal account. Choose the guest card option on the PayPal screen.
