Silhouette pendant or ring from your photo

Silhouette jewelry from a photo

In short

A silhouette (a profile, a figure, a landmark or a skyline) translates naturally into jewelry because it is defined by its outline. Photos with a clear edge and strong contrast work best; the result can be a cut-out shape or a raised outline in relief.

Photos that work best

A clear side profile or outline against a plain or bright background.
The whole shape inside the frame, not cut off at the edges.
One figure or one outline; keep it simple.

What to expect

Parts of a silhouette that are too thin, like a strand of hair, a lamppost or a fingertip, are thickened or joined so the piece is one strong, connected body. Enclosed spaces may be filled or bridged.

People and places

A person’s profile becomes a recognisable outline, not a detailed face. Skylines and landmarks are simplified to their most characteristic edges.

Questions and answers

Can a silhouette go on a ring?

Yes. Small silhouettes work well on the top of a ring; longer shapes can run along the band if the design passes our checks.

Can I combine two silhouettes?

Often, yes, if they can be joined into one connected piece. Describe it in your note and review the result before deciding.
