The main reason anyone would get a picture frame is to store a memory. As they say “a picture is worth a thousand words.” It can tell an entire story by itself. Picture frames are the perfect way to store, protect, and display your memories. A picture frame can also really enhance an image. It is usually the small things-the little details, on a frame that really bring out the best in the image. One of the absolute best ways to personalize and improve a picture frame is to get a message engraved on it. Even easier than this though, you can buy an engraved silver frame rather than taking an existing frame to an expensive local jeweler.
The first frame that jumped up at me that I thought our readers may be interested in was the All Occasion Personalized Photo Frame Album. This is a very special item because it is both a photo album and a picture frame at the same time. The front cover is silver plated and polished to a glorious shine. You can then have any two lines of text engraved upon it. One line above the picture you put in it and one line bellow the picture you put in it. The photo album itself is able to hold sixty pictures. Each one needs to be 4” x 6”. The image on the front of this picture frame also needs to be 4x6.
When it comes to this niche I see a lot of items that fit a dual purpose, just like the photo frame/photo album. The next item is a Lunt Sterling "Bostonian" Frame/Mirror. This frame holds either an 8x10 photograph or an 8” x 10” mirror. Luckily the mirror comes with the frame. The edges of this frame are really wide and curved. It gives a really interesting effect. The frame is also silver plated and the finish has been protected with lacquer to keep the silver from ever tarnishing. The frame also includes glass to put over the photograph to protect it. This frame is for people with a bit more of expensive taste. The frame will run you a little under $400.
Lunt also offers a Sterling Hammered Scroll Frame which is significantly cheaper. You should be able to find one for around $120. This frame shows incredible craftsmanship and really shows an attention to detail you usually don't see on picture frames. It has a very intricate scroll design that encircles the outer border of the frame. A second scroll design, this one is much finer and more delicate, then follows the inner border of the frame. The finish on it is gently hammered which makes the frame sparkle that much more. The picture frame is made out of metal and is silver plated. Just like the other frame it has been lacquered to prevent it from ever tarnishing. It can be displayed either vertically or horizontally and includes an easel for easy display. The back of the frame is made out of wood, so it should hold up for quite some time.
Both of the Lunt frames can have one line engraved on them. The line can only be 30 characters, but you have a choice of 4 different fonts and several difference choices on where you can have the line engraved.
