The Magic Behind Your Photo Charm
Posted on December 22 2017
There’s a misconception that says: “Not every photograph is suitable for a pendant.” While that
statement might hold water with certain pendants, it absolutely does not apply to Annalise photo
charms.
Unlike a pendant, a photo charm has gone through a rigorous process of rendering the image
onto a beautiful (and substantial) silver alloy, making your photograph look like a rare gem!
This is not the case with any ordinary flimsy pendant.
So how does the Annalise team take any photograph (even the old and dingy) and make it look
like a new precious stone?
With a whole lot of knowhow and a little bit of magic!
The Annalise Magic
Unlike with a typical pendant, Annalise charms are able to accommodate up to two
photographs, depending on the design that you choose.
So, assuming that you pick a charm with a design that hold two photographs, you will be
prompted to upload your 2 photographs, and then the magic begins:
Our team of professional photographers checks the photographs to ensure that they will be
suitable—no matter what era they are from, the answer is usually: “Yes!”
If you don’t have an entire photograph, but a piece of the photo with your loved one, our in
house photographers are willing to edit your photograph and restore it to its pristine condition.
This process involves removing dust, scratches, weathering and any other damage...
Only knowing hands could be able to accomplish such a feat!
It’s all about the message behind your photograph
We understand that your photograph means a lot to you. It’s a precious memory and that is why
our team goes through such an arduous restoration process.
If, by a small chance, your photograph does not fit the shape of the charm, the Annalise photo
editing team will put the photograph through various tests before conceding and asking your for
an alternative.
Your past memories are just as bright as the future
In this process of “testing” the image, it will be sharpened and the resolution will be greatly
improved for long lasting appeal; no matter the age of the original image.
Colour correction is an important part of making images “hyperreal” making the faces of your
lovedones look vibrant and healthy through a process of adjusting the contrast, brightness and
colour saturation. This is a key element of the “testing” process that the Annalise team
undertakes in order to submit an improved finished product.
The improved photograph will then be printed using Annalise’s specialized (proprietary)
equipment almost ten times in layers which focus on various aspects of the image so as to have
a fully vivid image that can finally be rendered onto your charm.
In order to maintain the integrity of your new charm, the photograph is set and receives lifetime
protection with a special glass resin unique to Annalise.
Memories don’t fade, so why on earth should your precious photographs?
With Annalise photographic charms, your past memories are just as bright as the future!
