***CONGRATULATIONS, Stacey Moore!!!***
She's had a streak of winning (All Because Two People Fell in Love)…
I suggest she buy some lottery tickets ASAP!
her comment: what a cute site!! i would get one done with pictures of my little loves!! thanks so much!!
I'm not the world's most sentimental person. Sure, I love my kids and like to have mementos of them, but most keepsake jewelry is kind of… mommy. And not in a good way. Roo and Jasper will probably grow up feeling neglected because their mom just isn't going to wear 3" buttons emblazoned with their photos. Sorry, kids. Grandma's not about to sacrifice her bling for a cutesy photo sweatshirt, either. I know, we must not love them enough. Poor babies.
Luckily, I stumbled across the coolest baby memento I've seen in a while– BabyFaces custom jewelry. They transform your favorite photo into a charm in sterling silver or 14K white or yellow gold, perfect to wear as a solitaire or to add to your charm bracelet. I've collected vintage charms and charm bracelets for years now, so BabyFaces seemed like a great way to show off my maternal pride. I emailed my photos in (you can also use the upload option on their order form or mail a hard copy) and in a week or so I had these tiny effigies of my childrens' smiling faces:
They turned out even better than I had hoped! Even my husband was impressed and suggested we get them made annually, so I can have a charm bracelet to keep me company when the kids grow up and fly the coop… so much better than a schoolhouse frame on the wall, in my opinion. I love being able to wear my kids without sacrificing my own sense of style. I have a sick desire to get BabyFaces of me and Bob, to put on our cats' collars instead of normal tags. Which reminds me, how adorable are the BabyFaces Pets charms?
I would love to have a kitty charm bracelet, featuring the ones still with us and their fallen comrades. Although that would add up quicker than I can count, so I'll stick to the kids for now. The website has great pictures of charms made from pictures of pet dogs and horses, too.
BabyFaces offers two sizes: standard (about the size of a quarter) and jr (about the size of a dime) and both are available as a traditional pendant with chain or with a swivel lobster claw clasp. (I chose the clasp so I could move the charms around until they find their perfect place. ) All are available in sterling and 14K white and yellow gold, with prices starting at just $69 for the silver jr clasp version. There is also a new option, the BabyFaces Duet, which features two faces (babies, couples, critters…) and would be an awfully thoughtful gift for your Valentine, stateside or deployed…
To enter and win a BabyFaces custom sterling silver photo charm in jr size (a $69 value), please comment on this post and let me know who you would immortalize in precious metal!

Okay, WOW. This is awesome. I would definitely have my baby girl immortalized this way. :)
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose on kid over the other..lol. I think I would pick our daughter, then we can just tell the baby that we got it before he was born...haha. Anyway, I think my husband would love to have a little keepsake like this with him all the time, as he's away from home most of the time with work and he's always missing the kids so, so much.
ReplyDeleteI'd love my baby girl's sweet face etched into white gold. And I'm with you on the schoolhouse frames. My MIL has one for each of her five kids displayed proudly in her front room. Not my style.
ReplyDeletemy younger daughter...but then I'd have to get another myself so
ReplyDeleteI could wear her older sister too!
I think I'll immortalize my daughter, Anna. I think that this will be a lot less painful than a tattoo! ;D
ReplyDeletesarahmarie[dot]pemberton[at]gmail[dot]com
I would immortalize my daughter without a doubt. I agree with you on the personal style and not wanting to move about the world wearing giant buttons of her in a soccer uniform! I think that I might even opt to upgrade this if that is possible and pay the difference to have one with my daughter and husband on it. That would be my most valued keepsake.
ReplyDeletemy youngest daughter Princess G
ReplyDeleteOf course I would have my daughter! SO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh no doubt-my 3 1/2 yr old who is going on 16!!
ReplyDeleteOk, that would be hard for me to choose, because I can't have ONE kid, and not the others, and I can't afford SIX more, lol. I'd probably get my hubby so he can see that I wear him with love.
ReplyDeleteOh, I "heart" these BIG TIME! I would defintely immortalize my little man...He's growing way t oo fast on me! How neat it would be to have him with me always!
ReplyDeletesblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com
I would immortalize my son of course-he is adorable at 6 yrs old. healing03mom@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I would definitely have a charm made of my precious son. Getting a new one annually for a charm bracelet is a great idea!
ReplyDeletemaggie(dot)ladd(at)gmail(dot)com
What good looking charms. No doubt about it, my two sons would be on mine! Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks very much.....Cindi
ReplyDeletejchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com
I'm not sure, It's to hard to decide, If i win i guess i would have to make a decision.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely have to make one of my two children. They are the light of my life.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! How amazing! I would love to have one made of my Coppergirl. I miss her so much. :(
ReplyDeleteAll of my girls. They are just growing up way to fast!
ReplyDeletei would choose my tiny little twins!!
ReplyDeleteIf I could put the $69 towards a duet, I would do both of my boys! If not then I'd do my newborn because I already have a different kind of charm of my oldest when he was a baby!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
I would love to have Breas done. Crossing my fingers.
ReplyDeleteOh man! This would be a toss up for me! I have 2 boys but I guess I would have to choose my oldest
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my son. He is our one and only. I'm thinking Gma is going to need the bracelet for mothers day with one of each of the grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteThis one is pretty easy, I would do one of my husband and two girls!! thanks...
ReplyDeletestbaisch AT yahoo DOT com
how cool i would get my daughters face immortalized in metal.
ReplyDeleteit would be our 2 yr old son we just adopted from foster care!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and what a great idea to have one made every year you would have a great reminder of how they change year to year. I had a hard time deciding which son to choose. I decided on my 3 month old my little miracle baby born 10 weeks early and weighing in at 2lbs 4 ozs. Then I would just get one of my 8 year old and one of them together. Here is my Christmas list till they turn 18 LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! Thank you for telling us about it. uke9000@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteDo you think they could do feet? I would love to do my two kids feet! Or hands! If they can do cats they have to be able to do feet or hands!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool... I would have one made with my daughter's face on it, also I think your idea of the couple's face would be awesome for the next time my husband is deployed.
ReplyDeletesaddeyezz at yahoo dot com
this is so neat. thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteDH and my son together.
ReplyDeletejbubolz-miller@hotmail.com
WOw. pretty cool! wondering what pic I would use of my daughter...
ReplyDeleteMost definately my son! This charms are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteprincessbubbles_18@yahoo.com
These are great, I would want to have one done of my kids. vickers@insightbb.com
ReplyDeleteI would get one of my daughter. I love showing her off to everyone and this would be great to be able to have her 'with' me at work besides just the photos on my desk.
ReplyDeleteI'd get my baby girl on mine. She's so beautiful and I'd love to have this as a keepsake as well.
ReplyDeletedefinitely my daughter!
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat! I think I would have my daughter made into a charm :) khmorgan_00@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI'd have to do myself...and give it to my husband. Just to let all those women out there know that he's taken! Even though the wedding band kinda gives it away...
ReplyDeleteI'd get one of my sister and I so we'd be together no matter where we were!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great! i would definitely have one made of my daughter!
ReplyDeleteI would have one made up of my husband. He travels alot and the girls and I miss him. We could all take turns wearing him around to keep him close to our hearts!
ReplyDeleteI know the perfect picture of my youngest son. I would have to get another one of my oldest too though. Can't play favorites!
ReplyDeleteWith four kids, trying to figure out which one would be hard...so I am going to have to go with our dog (b/c the whole family is in love with her and I'll be fighting with my girls over the charm anyway!)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is in Iraq and we have a 4 month old son. I would get the charm of my son and send it to my husband. I know that he would love having it and having his son so close to him.
ReplyDeleteI love the ones of your kiddos, just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would want those of all three, and maybe the dog too :) I guess if I'd have to pick one, it would be my oldest daughter to go first. I would love love love to win this one!
No doubt I'd have my daughter's face charmed...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
hianded[at]earthlink[dot]net
We are expecting, so I would have anew little one's baby face immortalized:)
ReplyDeleteI'd probably immortalize my youngest son, just because he gives me the most opportunity for great photos. :D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love this. I would get this done with my son's beautiful face!
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be my 2 year old son, Maximus. What a great gift this would make for grandmas birthday!
ReplyDeletewho else but my dd who just turned 1!
ReplyDeletemy three babies of course!
ReplyDeletedefinately our dd
ReplyDeletemom2maria at hotmail dot com
It would have to be my daughter as a tiny baby!
ReplyDeleteI would immortalize my two kids and give it to my mom because I too am not sentimental.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute site!! i would get one done with pictures of my little loves!! thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteThis is VERY cool. I'd have an Elli charm made...definitely...did I spell that right? I never know.
ReplyDeletejessie2147(at)gmail(dot)com
My daughter, of course!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely my dad, who lost his battle with cancer in 2006! I'd love to win, so please count me in. Should I win, my email address is on my blog profile. Thanks! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteJennifer :-)
This is very cool! Definitely my nephew! It would be a great surprise for his Mom for Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! But if I won a charm, I would feel obligated to purchase two more (for my other kids). And considering I don't have $140 to spend on charms, I might have to immortalize the cat!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are neat! I would get one of my little girl, she is 5.5 months now. Thanks so much for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeletekatie at dekabyte dot com
I think I would choose my maternal grandmother. Her death was really hard on me and my daughters, particularly my 5 year old. She was 98 and died a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteTHESE ARE SO fantastic!!! I realy hope I win, what a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteHow neat. The Mrs. would love a Bear & Mouse charm - i'm sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would definately choose my 2 boys. What a great idea!
ReplyDeletefourblackmans@msn.com
I have a charm of my son (not his face), so it would be my daughter that I would pick. What a neat idea!
ReplyDeletei would put my kids on this chain for sure :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a really cool idea! I'd charm my boys, of course!
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the US, (canada) but I have a US address, I hope that counts!
thanks!
Our five-month old son is a result of a precious gift . . . he was an adopted embryo made available by the most wonderful couple in the world. I would love to give the bio mom a charm of our miracle baby's face!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, enter me please..
ReplyDeleteI would select one of my boys . . . unless I could do a duet with the money toward it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ooohhh! I love this. it is a bit cheesy but I would love to have one of my daughter when she was a little younger and would let me put her hair up in pigtails...I already miss that stage!
ReplyDeletelaura.mcmullan@gmail.com
www.ohbabybuyproducts.blogspot.com
I would use my adorable twin girls! I agree this is a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteId have to choose between one of the boys...mmm..if I won then I would definitly have to order a charm for the other two.
ReplyDeleteI have a charm of a picture of Isaac as a baby, so I would love to get one of these of Adam to go with it! This is so lovely; thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely pick my son! :)
ReplyDeleteandraya3 at yahoo dot com
The duet would be perfect for my twins, but since the contest is for one immortalized face, I'd have to decide which baby is my favorite. I'll have to get back to you on that one :)
ReplyDeleteI think I would put my youngest dauqhter on it. I have pictures on a necklace of my others, but not the baby. Thanks
ReplyDeleterachelwillis75@hotmail.com
This would be such a wonderful way for me to always have my son with me. I lost him to sids two years ago and everything I've seen just seems crass or twee. This I could wear and keep close to my heart.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing since sliced bread
ReplyDeleteI would get all 5 of my beautiful grandkids! What a lovely way to show them off !
ReplyDeleteI would put my grandson on it.
ReplyDeleteI lost my Yorkshire Terrier "Chelsea" in July of last year, this would make an awesome momento.
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat. I'd hvae my niece done that is no longer with us due to cancer and then I'd give it to my sister.
ReplyDeleteBoth my sons. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. This is such a wonderful idea. Thanks.
ReplyDeletemy beautiful daughter!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. My cat Stinker.

ReplyDeletechickeedee_2002(at)yahoo.com
Very cool. I would do my two boys.
ReplyDeleteI'd love one of these with my two kids! If I win one that's for a single face, I'd choose my 15 month old daughter since I have an engraved necklace showing just my son. These are great charms! Thanks for the contest.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of these of my daughter. I have the best picture for this too - it's on my desktop right now. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteok i have 5 kids so if i couldnt get 5 of these then I'd have to do it of our horse!
ReplyDeleteMy mom
ReplyDeleteThe little girl I care for.
ReplyDeleteI would let my niece Erin immortalize her daughter Edea.

ReplyDeleteI have three kids so I'd have to get one of my cat :)
ReplyDeletesoounds a bit weird but my dog
ReplyDeleteMy sweet boys!
ReplyDeletevboackle@aol.com,my newest grandchild would make an adorable charm.

ReplyDeleteHow cute...I would have my boys on mine

What an incredible site - this is sooo much better than the charms with the birthstones.
ReplyDeleteI think I would need to do several
but the first would be of my husband. He is a desert storm veteran and we are currently apart so this would be a sweet way to bridge the miles.
Thank you for introducing a unique website and for sponsoring such a memorable contest.

ReplyDeleteThis is totally awesome! :)
Good Luck to me!
It would be my sons especially my son who will soon be deploying
ReplyDeleteI would have my son's picture done.

ReplyDeleteThese are so cute--I would have to get all three of my girls together. deanna@count.com
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to choose - all six of my kids would look adorable as a charm but I would have to go with my oldest, the only girl. Everything in our house is always about 'the baby' and she hasn't been the baby in a long time. She is so gracious about it all that I would LOVE to get her baby face on a charm.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I would love to win this for my mom... she loves her little dog so much she would cherish this forever.
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway!
that's a no-brainer. i would have my baby boy immortalized in the charm! they are precious. thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteAdorable. I would immortalize my daughter...singing!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'd get our dog. Zoey's turned 12 this year, and I love her to death (no other dog will be the same!) so this would be nice to always have down the road.
ReplyDeleteMy "baby" just turned 13. A teenager!!! He's my one and only! Would love to have him "frozen" in time as he continutes to grow and get ready to go off to highschool. I love him as a young man but he'll ALWAYS be my baby.....
ReplyDeleteI would do a picture of my cousin and his wife together because he is currently deployed in Iraq so I would give it to her as a gift.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea ! I'd have a hard time deciding between my daughter and my son, so I'd go for my daughter and buy one for my son and one for the soon to be 3rd born child !
ReplyDeleteminiloulous(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would immortalize our dog Sam. It might seem kind of silly but for so many years Sam was my dad's "sight" when he lost his own due to Macular Degeneration. Sam made my dad feel less helpless and was always there for my dad when he needed a friend so badly and did not want to ask anyone for help. Today Sam lives with us and having him immortalized would be like having my dad always close by and the friend who helped him truly live again.
ReplyDeleteThanks - fun! I would get one of my grandfather who passed away last year at the age of 98. I would give it to my grandmother to wear.
ReplyDeletemy 2 kids! what a neat idea!
ReplyDeletei'd get my dog Ziggy made into a key chain, i love this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy precious beautiful daughter!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is so much cooler than the sweatshirts and tote bags with the giant photos on them.
ReplyDeleteThese charms can actually become a family heirloom someday.
What an awesome and unexpected way to tastefully immortalize a loved one.
I would definitely want a charm made of my 9 year old, so I can remeber her at this cute age forever.
That'll be comforting when she's 16 and demanding the car keys and steals all my combat boots and leather jackets.

I would immortalize my grandmother Dorothy. She passed away on Mothers Day at the age of 97. I miss her so much. She raised me.

This is hard for me because I have a large family with lots of kids. I would probably choose my baby, or choose a group of two or three kids relating to a special situation, like a violin recital.
ReplyDeleteOh, this sounds charming! I would immortalize my daughter. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy middle daughter has such an expressive face. She is a born actress with all the lead roles in school plays since kindergarten.
ReplyDeleteMy son...good luck!
ReplyDeleteI would choose my son. Although once my next child is born in July I would have to get her as well. These would make great gifts for Grandma (jlynnc76@yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteI would love one for both my son and my daughter.
