Personalized pet jewelry that wears like a memory—built with better materials, thoughtful engraving, and a proof-first workflow.
A good custom pet necklace should do three things: look like your pet, last in daily wear, and feel special every single time you reach for it. At MemoriaStella, we design our pet portrait necklaces and pet memorial necklaces to meet that bar—then go a little further. Below is our quality playbook and exactly how your necklace is made, from photo to finished piece.
What “Quality” Means on a Pet Necklace
- Precise likeness: hand-refined silhouette or picture engraving so ears, whiskers, and expression read clearly.
- Better metals & plating: stainless steel core with gold or silver-tone finish for shine and durability.
- Two chain styles: comfortable O-chain (daily wear) or sleek flat chain (dressy, layered looks).
- Real-world wearability: smooth edges, anti-snag polish, anti-tarnish coating, and thoughtful weight balance.
- Engraving that lasts: deep laser engraving for names, dates, or short messages on the back.
- Proof in 24h: we send a design proof within 24 hours and revise until you say “perfect.”
Materials & Finishes You Can Trust
Your pendant starts from a 316L stainless steel base for strength and skin-friendliness, then receives either a bright silver finish or warm 18K gold finish. We polish the silhouette to soften edges and seal the surface with an anti-tarnish topcoat. Result: a custom pet necklace that looks premium on day one and stays that way.
From Photo to Pendant: Our Proof-First Workflow
- Upload your photo — choose a sharp, well-lit image where your pet’s features are clear.
- 24-hour design proof — we send a draft (silhouette or picture style). You request edits until it feels like them.
- Engraving & cutting — we laser-engrave, cut, and polish the pendant; edges are hand-finished for comfort.
- Quality check — alignment, engraving depth, plating integrity, and chain fit are inspected before packaging.
- Gift-ready packaging — ships elegant and ready to give.
Choosing Your Chain & Finish
- O-chain (classic, comfy): great for daily wear, sweaters, and tees.
- Flat chain (sleek, modern): lays neatly for dressier fits or layered looks.
- Finishes: Gold for warmth and gift appeal; Silver for a minimalist, cool look.
Real Feedback, Real Wear

Care Tips for Daily Shine
- Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear; avoid harsh chemicals and direct long-term sun.
- Remove before swimming, sauna, or vigorous workouts to preserve plating.
- Store in a dry pouch to minimize scratches when traveling.
FAQ
How close will the pendant look to my pet?
Very close. Our artists refine the silhouette or picture engraving so the ears, eyes, and muzzle lines read clearly at pendant size. You’ll approve a proof first.
Can I add a name, date, or short message?
Yes—backside laser engraving is available for names, dates, and short phrases (e.g., “Forever Loved”).
What’s the timeline?
Proof in 24 hours, production in 3–5 business days, and shipping typically 5–14 days worldwide (U.S./EU often ~1 week).
What if my package arrives damaged?
We cover it—our damage-free guarantee means we’ll replace or refund if anything arrives faulty.
Which chain should I choose?
Pick the O-chain for daily comfort and the flat chain for a sleeker, layered look. Both are adjustable and hypoallergenic.
