Have you ever lost a loved one? What do you do? What will help?
"Memorialize": According to the dictionary definition, means to record lastingly with a monument.

Experts in psychology say... "That to memorialize a deceased loved-one is usually a healthy part of the typical grieving process." Easier said then done, right?
Sometimes you don't know what your purpose is until someone tells you...
We've found ours! When Michele Baratta started making Photo Jewelry in 1992, she never thought it'd be worn to help heal losing a loved one. In fact, the irony is; it was originally made to Celebrate Life. In some regards, it works on both accounts.

Please take a moment to read a few of the reasons why people have chosen to give one of our Photo Pendants to help "Hold the ones you love close to your heart
TM"

“I was instantly drawn to the “Forever in My Heart Necklace" and just knew that I had to have it so that I could proudly display pictures of my angel that passed.”

“I gave my “Beautiful Soul Necklace” to a really sweet woman who lost her 18 year old son in a car accident. She wanted to put 3 different pictures of him in the necklace and always have him with her.”

“I am going to send a special piece to Mom’s and Dad’s with sick children that our foundation is supporting. I know that the unexpected gifts from the heart are truly the most precious gifts!”

“This was not just any necklace; it was a heart locket with a little picture of my lost-loved one. It instantly brought my husband and I to tears, I immediately put it on and have worn it every day since!”

“When you’re long distance from your loved one, as my husband is in Iraq, you live each day knowing that it’s one day closer to being in their arms and maybe that photo frame necklace will make it just a little bit easier - I know mine does.”

"Oh my Goodness, what was I to do? My best friend had been killed in a car accident leaving 3 sisters behind. I had to find something to help them grieve and remember their sister. When I saw the "Soul Mate Bracelet," I knew that was the right one to give to them."

"Just recently, my friend's 19 year old son lost his life. I was saddened beyond belief. The only thing I felt comfort in giving was the "Cherish the ones you love locket" It spoke to her without saying a word."
