I make narrative jewelry from my old family photos. The necklace with the 9 female faces on it is taken from an old photo of my mother. I remember when I was around 7 or 8 years old she would get all dressed up to go downtown. She would take the bus and when she came back she would usually bring me some kind of treat like Nik-L-Nips (the juice in a wax bottle) or little candy ice cream cones. I copied and colored the face and attached it to an enameled piece of copper. On the copper links I stamped a shorter version of the above story. I like to think of the middle pendant as more of a locket. It has photos of my father at different ages also attached to an enameled piece of copper. There is a story fired in graphite into the yellow enameled piece. The third piece is a photobooth-like pendant of my grandmother, also with a story about her written into the background piece of enamel. I can make custom pieces with photos of your own.
