Image Inspirations
Part 1 of 2
Photo jewelry is a wonderful custom jewelry niche because many people enjoy wearing mementos of those they love. I once fixed a photo glass bubble bracelet for someone who clearly adored Elvis Presley!
There are some photo jewelry tutorials on the internet which I gathered together in a past post How to Make Photo Jewelry Tutorials. Supplies though are a different matter. When PhotoJewelryMaking.com contacted me about a giveaway, I was delighted to find that they supply just about anything you need for making fast and easy photo jewelry.
They bill themselves as the world's largest photo jewelry supply superstore. They're not kidding either. PJM has so many product lines - individual items as well as numerous kits, you'll have to check it out yourself because I cannot possibly cover it all in a single post. They also offer bulk discounts and even a reseller's program for those who wish to specialize in this niche.
This is a family run small business started in 2004 by husband and wife Mark and Sue in the Metro Detroit area. PJM only sold Italian Photo Charms (shown above) in the beginning but the business soon expanded. As they grew, they've had to hired more employees including their own children Judy and Adam!
If you've tried making a digital image fit a frame, then you know how hard it is to print it just so. PJM's photo resizing software makes this task easier. They also supply the instant seal water resistant photo paper to print on.
One of the neatest products is their new line of Instant Photo Jewelry. These allow you to make photo jewelry in minutes - perhaps while the customer waits. Check out the video and see how amazingly easy it is.
GIVEAWAY
PJM is giving away a $25 shopping spree certificate for one lucky winner! To enter, all you you have to do is make a comment below. Extra entries if you become or are a blog subscriber or follower or also on Facebook Fan page or Twitter. The giveaway ends in a week's time at 6 pm EST Monday September 20. I will pick a winner randomly and announce the results as soon as possible after.
Good luck!

Awesome. Love to start new project with photo jewelry.. Hope that I wins.
ReplyDeleteWow, I see so much potential for this! Hope I win!
ReplyDeletePhoto Jewelry has a great website. I always love it when you pass along something interesting that is going to cost me more money.
ReplyDeleteI have never done photo jewelry, however, my daughter has 5 beautiful boys and what a nice gift this could be.
ReplyDeleteWow just checked out their site for the first time... it's awesome!! Hope I win! :)
ReplyDeleteI just watched the video on making photo bracelets - how cool! Juls T.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Susanna - we are all in this money pit of a craft together!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks much easier than one might think!
ReplyDeleteVery attractive!
My soon to be 5 year old granddaughter would love for me to win. She has been wanting to try it.
ReplyDeleteI've ordered from this company and they're great. I have used their products to make my chiyogami (Japanese paper) gem jewelry. Don't forget that besides photos, you can use any cool image in their bezels! What I like about them is that they package kits to make multiple pieces, so it's perfect if you want to have a crafting party!
ReplyDeleteThey have some real interesting jewelry supplies there. And, yes, resizing photos and other pics to fit in a special frame or bezel when printed is hard sometimes...
ReplyDelete(I follow the blog via Google's FriendsConnect.)
I always enjoy your tutorials, thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm a blog subscriber!
