June’s Birthstone – Pearls

By

June is here so it’s time to celebrate Pearls as this month’s birthstone!

Large or small pearls, bright or subdued, pearls are always a classy choice to show off a great photo. Pearls are sophistication personified and can lend a touch of elegance to even the most simple photo display.

Our Tahitian Pearl picture frames are bold and beautiful featuring single large white pearls in either a round or oval shape. Here is the Tahitian Pearl Oval Picture Frame with its large faux pearls perfect for a special elegant photo.  This pearl photo frame comes in 3.5×5, 4×6 and 5×7 photo sizes so you’ll be sure to find the size you need.

Our pearl picture frames came in a variety of shapes from rectangles, squares, ovals and round frames so you’ll be sure to find a shape that’s perfect for your special photo.

If you can’t decide which shape picture frame you prefer, check out our set of 3 Small Pearl Picture Frames – one square, one round and one heart shape for a photo of that special someone.
While our frames with a single strand of pearls are bold, our frames with double and triple strands of pearls ooze sophistication, romance and elegance. When pearls seem to be the perfect choice for your framing needs but you don’t want white, we have a solution for that too. Our gorgeous double strand pearl picture frame comes in either grey for subtle beauty as a Grey Double Strand of Pearls Picture Frame or pink pastel perfection as a Pink Double Strand Pearls Picture Frame.

When your photo deserves the very best, just look to our beautiful selection of pearl picture frames. Whatever your mood or decor, you are sure to find the perfect frame.

Time to Celebrate Earth Day

By

 

In celebration of Earth Day, we all need to think how we can help make a difference in how we use our natural resources. Here at Your Picture Frames we’re always looking for frames that are made with sustainable materials or recycle-able products. Although our selection is still small, we’re always on the look out for quality made eco-friendly picture frames.

Some of the key features we look for are photo frames made from recycled materials or materials that are sustainable. What’s sustainable? To us, we’re looking at whether the material is like a plant crop that can be replanted and is done in an earth friendly way. We like sustainable materials like bamboo, mango and rubberwood as these are plant crops that have a short natural life cycle. So, for example, mango trees produce mango fruit but once the tree reaches a certain age it stops producing fruit and therefore is no longer valuable to the farmer. So, when this happens, instead of wasting the valuable mango wood, it’s used to create products like mango picture frames, bowls, vases and other products.

We also look for products that are made with earth friendly practices. One example of that is using water based stains instead of oil based stains that are bad for the environment. Besides the earth friendly benefits, water based stains are also safer for your family. Here are just a few of our frames that have water based stains: Shasta Natural Matted Bamboo Picture Frame, Shasta Rubberwood Matted Black Picture Frame and Teton Wide Bamboo Picture Frame.

So, the next time you shop for frames, consider shopping green and get an eco-friendly frame that is safer for your family and is better for the environment.
