We offer two styles of Micro Lens pendants that can be filled. The bronze heart and the large sterling silver cross have a small engraved lens implanted into the pendant for viewing of family photos, prayers, poems or any other personal memories. The implanted lens magnifies its engraving 160 times to make reading text or viewing a photo possible. The image can be viewed by holding the pendant to your eye and looking through the 3mm lens.

We offer silver display domes. The domes offer a safe place to store the pendant when not being worn. They were also designed for families who prefer not to wear the pendants. The domes instead show the pendants as small keepsake urns hanging in the dome. Both the glass and the dome bottom can be engraved.
