[Jewelry making - Article 00270] - [Orchid] Using photos in jewelry

    Help!  I make jewelry with tintypes, so a friend has asked me to
    make a "memory" bracelet for his mother using present-day photos of
    her parents, now deceased.  The tintypes seem so indestructible
    having survived for more than 100 years now that I don't protect
    them other than putting them in a frame.  But I'd like to come up
    with some way to protect the current photos I need to use for this
    bracelet.  Ideally I'd like to put some sort of thin protective coat
    of something on  before riveting them into their frames.  Hate to
    admit it, but I am very tempted to use clear nail polish--yikes!   

Any ideas??  
Thanks, Madelyn
