New Animal Charity Affiliate Program

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

We are always looking for new ways to help animals in need, and recently we have been getting asked for more direct ways that animal rescues and animal charities can raise money for their cause. In an effort to help we are creating a new affiliate program.

If you run, manage, or support an animal charity you can sign up for an affiliate code that is just for you. When someone clicks a link on your website, or uses your special URL, your group earns 15% from every sale made.

Some key features of our program:

  • No hassle fundraising: Once your affiliate program is set up it becomes a hands free method to continually raise funds for your animal charity.
  • No limits: There is no cap to how much your animal charity can raise. 15% of every sale goes directly to your rescue.
  • No minimum payouts: Unlike other affiliate programs, our goal is to help you help animals in need. When you accept your payout via PayPal it is paid every month, regardless of amount.

To start earning money for your charity, rescue, or even yourself, sign up today.

New Color Photo Pet Jewelry

Pet Photo Jewelry

Color Pet Photo Jewelry

We are proud to announce our newest product, color pet photo jewelry!

I have been working on these for a couple of months now trying to get them up from cheap faire jewelry to real quality jewelry. The first thing you will notice about our pendants is that these are pictures of actual pendants that we have made. These are not the photoshopped pendants with an image overlaid to make them look good. No one else makes them like we do, and no, I’m not spilling the secret to awesome color photo jewelry :)

Prototype 1

Prototype 1

Our first pendants looked like what other people make. They looked like this. They weren’t terrible, but you could only really see them in just the right lighting conditions.

Next we tried using some very light, aluminum, pendants. These gave us a good picture, but the jeweler in me just can sell them and call them jewelry.

We finally developed our own process and create the pendants you see here. I wish I could take better photos of them, but I am convinced that these are the best photo pendants available. Great color, nice weight, and they feel like real jewelry.

We are currently offering our pendants in 3 shapes, standard dog tag, round, and heart shape. As we get production sorted out and we start making more of these great pendants we hope to add more shapes and even start offering them in sterling silver or 14k gold. If you would like to have a pendant made from either metal send me an email and maybe we can use your necklace as a prototype.

Beads, beads, beads!

Silver horse bead from Kera

Silver horse bead from Kera

Finally, we have found a line of sterling silver animal beads that we love. Kera makes a great line of beads and bead jewelry and we have set aside many of the animal themed beads for our friends here at Animal Charms.

Each bead is made in sterling silver and will fit any standard bead bracelet, Pandora, Troll, etc., or you can buy one of our bead bracelets here to start your new bracelet. These sterling silver beads are priced very well and like everything else we sell here at Animal Charms, 10% of each sale is donated to charity!

Pets on Pendants Engraved Photos are Here!

Photo Engraved Pendant

Photo Engraved Pendant

Finally, after a lot of practice and preparation, Diane and I are thrilled to be able to offer photo engraving here at Animal Charms. The process is very simple, we take a photo of your pet, that you send to us, and we load it in to Photoshop for editing. We remove the background information, and trim the photo for the best look. Then a little bit of image magic and we are ready to load it in to our engraving machine. A short time later we have a stunning pet photo engraved on a metal pendant.

Your pendant is then polished up, a curb chain is added, and we package it up for shipping. In most cases we can have your pendant ready to ship to you in less than 48 hours. All of this for less than $50! You get the photo pendant, the 16″ curb chain, and the velour pendant pouch to store your pendant safely, all for less than $50! Sorry, I was channeling my inner Vince there for a second, I love these pendants that much.

Photos

There are some things to keep in mind when sending us a photo. Well lit, high contrast, photos work best. Closeups and photos with a lot of face detail help as well. The pendant here is of Gigi, my sister-in-law’s solid black Schnauzer. If we can make a solid black dog with a black nose and black eyes look this great, image on how great your pet will look on one of our pendants.

The Pendants

Currently we are engraving photos on simple metal pendants that have been rhodium plated. We are testing with solid silver pendants and are considering offering them in gold as well. If there is enough interest we will stock up and offer those as well.

Charity

Don’t forget, part of every single sale we make here is donated to an animal charity, this goes for our new Pets on Pendants jewelry line. 10% of every sale is set aside for an animal rescue or charity. We really appreciate all that those charities do and your purchases help us help them.

Order one today and get a photo of your pet that will last forever.
