The 2D Memory Crystal™ Necklace — Rectangle from Beyond Memories® turns one favorite photo into a wearable rectangular pendant engraved with the face you want to carry with you every day. The vertical rectangle is the classical photo-pendant shape — it frames a single subject or a couple beautifully and reads clearly at necklace scale, where details matter most. Your photo is laser-engraved into a solid block of optical-grade crystal in true high-definition detail.
The pendant features chiseled multi-faceted polished edges with 45-degree chamfered corners that catch the light, and hangs from a polished sterling silver hooded bail and matching sterling silver cable chain — the necklace is hypoallergenic and water-resistant for everyday wear. Every necklace is finished by real artists at our Las Vegas studio — not algorithms.

For Mother's Day, this is the gift Mom wears to brunch and quietly tells everyone about. For anniversaries, the necklace becomes the daily reminder of the person walking with you through life. For new mothers, the pendant engraved with the new baby's first portrait becomes the necklace she never takes off.
For memorial moments — the loss of a parent, a grandparent, a spouse, a beloved pet — the rectangle pendant lets the family carry the face of the person they love against their heart every day. The necklace is hypoallergenic and water-resistant so it can be worn in the shower, the rain, the workout class — the way an everyday-wear piece should be. How the personalization works Pick your pendant size at checkout (Small, Medium, or Large).
Upload one photo through our simple uploader. Our photo team removes the background, balances lighting, sharpens facial detail, and prepares the image for laser engraving. We then engrave the image into the rectangular crystal pendant, attach the sterling silver hooded bail, and thread the matching sterling silver cable chain.
Standard production takes 5–7 business days. Rush production available at checkout for last-minute Mother's Day or anniversary orders. What photo works best for the necklace The rectangle pendant is naturally a portrait shape — tall rather than wide.
Single-subject headshots are the sweet spot. Photos with strong eye contact, clear facial detail, and natural lighting engrave most powerfully at this scale. The pendant handles 1–2 subjects well; groups with 3+ people will engrave but faces will be small.
Avoid wide landscape compositions, heavily filtered photos, and dark/underexposed images. Send 2–3 options after ordering and our team will recommend the strongest engraving candidate for the rectangle's vertical orientation. What's in the box Every necklace ships in our satin-lined gift presentation box with a polishing cloth, a care card, and a Beyond Memories® certificate of authenticity.
