NEW — Pet Potrait, Framed Ornament
Discover the latest addition to Rue Noelle’s shop — the classic custom pet portrait in a handcrafted brass + glass frame.
Because your pet deserves an ornament. Whether it’s hanging (literally) around your house all year or sparkling on a Christmas tree in December, this framed ornament of your pet will add an sweet touch to your home.
This ornament is fully customizable! Scroll down for full details. You’ll be able to pick your pet’s portrait style for the front, and have an option to make this double sided with a design on the back.
The frames are handcrafted in Sweden and made of brass and glass. Each ornament has a taupe colored velvet ribbon for easy hanging.

Capture your pet with a simple but beautiful portrait. With “The Minimalist” custom pet portrait, you’ll receive a full sketch of your (or your friends and family’s!) beloved pet.
Choose from a thick matte cardstock or fine art giclee watercolor paper, which uses archival quality inks for a fine art finish. The watercolor paper is a little pricier than the matte cardstock and increases based on print size.
