The secret
Looks plain. Then you touch it.
Most days it looks like a sleek black pendant. Nobody knows what is inside.
Hold it in your hand or let it rest against your skin. As it warms, the black fades and your photo comes through. Let it cool and the secret is hidden again.

About the reveal
Above about 86°F (30°C), so the warmth of your hand is enough. Hold it in a closed hand for a few moments and the photo starts to show. On cold days it takes a little longer, so warm your hands first or let it sit against your skin.
While the pendant is warm. As it cools it fades back to black, and warming it again brings the photo back as many times as you like.
Only when the pendant is warm. Most of the time it just looks like a black pendant, which is why people love it for private photos.
Your photo
A clear, well-lit photo where the face fills most of the frame. A real person checks every photo before we make your piece and will email you if it will not come out well.
Email us as soon as you can. Once your piece is made we cannot change it.
Care and delivery
The pendant is stainless steel, but the heat-reveal face is happiest dry. Take it off for showers, swimming and hot tubs to keep the reveal working its best.
Every piece is made to order. Most orders arrive in about 2 weeks.
Email us within 30 days with a photo. We will remake it or refund you.
Our promise
Looks right, or we remake it
If your photo doesn't come through the way you hoped, or your piece arrives damaged, email us within 30 days with a photo. We'll remake it or refund you.
