Hand-Carved Portraits
A Life Captured in Metal – Custom Pet Portrait Keepsakes
Each coin or pendant is engraved entirely by hand, no lasers, no shortcuts, turning your beloved pet or loved one into a miniature heirloom to treasure forever.
What are Portrait Coins?
Portrait Coins are custom-engraved coins featuring the face of someone you love, most often pets. Each one is hand-carved from real metal, with hours of care and precision behind every line.
Whether it’s a memorial, a meaningful gift, or something special just for you, it’s more than a coin, it’s a connection.
Neil’s Story
I’m Neil Turner, a lifelong engraver, designer, and craftsman. I created Portrait Coins after carving one for a friend who lost their dog. Her reaction told me everything, this small keepsake meant the world to her.
Now I carve coins and sterling silver pendants for pet lovers, parents, partners, and anyone who wants to hold something meaningful close.
Wow! It really looks like him 
Amazing, I will treasure it rest of my life 
no words can describe how much I love it.
Thank you so much!!
You did a FABULOUS job and it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Took me a bit to clear the tears to see it but I have it on already and have no intention of taking him off any time soon. I can take him with me wherever I go now.
It just arrived, I love it it’s amazing it looks just like her, Bryonie is going to go mad, wish I didn’t have to wait to give it to her.
Thank you so much what a brilliant thing
