The image unlocking jewelry device collectively including a lens mated to a casing and housing a liquid crystal display; circuitry placed inside the casing and capable of sending signals to the liquid crystal display; and an image positioned between the lens and said circuitry. Voltage is sent from the circuitry to the liquid crystal display in order to reveal the image held underneath the lens. The unlocking process can either be electromechanical or electromagnetic.
