Introducing the Galatea Momento Collection

Save Your Precious Moments in a Pearl

If a gem could speak, what would it say? Traditional lockets can hold a loved one's picture, but Momento jewelry can hold their voice. The Galatea Momento Pearl is hand-carved and embedded with an NFC (near field communication) chip so you can share your special moments with a loved one using an Android or iPhone. It's like a digital locket that will live next to their heart forever.

Using the Galatea app, a voice message can be recorded and played back whenever the Momento pearl touches the enabled NFC mobile phone or other NFC devices. Images, texts, and web links can also be uploaded and saved for posterity. Galatea is the first jewelry company in the world that offer NFC Jewelry, diamond and gem that is interactive with iPhone 7, 8, 10, and NFC enabled Android Phones. The Momento Collection is an incredible blend of traditional jewelry and technology, available only from Galatea: Jewelry by Artist.
