A portrait hidden in light
A lithophane is a thin, translucent piece that appears plain at first glance. Hold it up to a candle, a window, or any light source — and a detailed portrait emerges, glowing softly from within.

Hi, I'm Karon.
Three years ago, I lost my father very suddenly. As I navigated the waves of grief, I found myself constantly reaching for old photos — the kind that were starting to fade and show their age. I wanted a way to protect those moments, not just on a screen or a piece of paper, but in a way that felt permanent.
When I discovered 3D printing, everything clicked. I started creating Memory Medallions: custom lithophanes that transform your most cherished photos into durable, light-catching art. Unlike traditional prints, these won't fade or tear. They allow you to hold a memory in your hand and see it come to life when held to the light.
I started this to heal my own heart, and now, I'm honored to help you preserve yours.
A clear photo of your person or pet is all we need. We'll take it from there.
Each piece is individually made to order in Philadelphia. No two are the same.
Your medallion ships with its stand, packaged carefully and ready to give or display.
Each medallion is approximately 2×4 inches and comes with a black easel stand embossed with our tagline. Made to order, just for you.
Need more than one? Medallions are available in sets — perfect for memorial services and funerals where families and loved ones can each take one home as a keepsake. Reach out to us to discuss your needs.
Handcrafted with care in Philadelphia for families who want to hold their memories close.
