Custom Shadowboxes

Preserve What Matters Most—in a Frame Built to Last

Some memories are too meaningful to leave in a drawer. At Big Horn Design & Art Gallery, we create custom shadowboxes that protect, showcase, and honor the objects that tell your story, whether it's a military medal, a wedding keepsake, or a treasured family heirloom.


Handcrafted in Billings, MT by brother-sister team Dick and Kay, each shadowbox is thoughtfully designed to preserve your most valued items with care and creativity. With over 25 years of experience, we bring your vision to life with the highest attention to detail, so what matters most can be proudly displayed for generations to come.

What Can Go in a Shadowbox?

If you can imagine it, we can frame it. Our custom shadowboxes are ideal for:


  • Military, police, or firefighter service medals
  • Sports jerseys, game balls, or ribbons
  • Graduation or medical degrees
  • Wedding bouquets, invitations, or keepsakes
  • Family heirlooms, artifacts, or collectibles
  • Native beadwork, textiles, and cultural items
  • Any meaningful object you'd like to preserve and display


We’ll help you choose the best layout, background, and materials to ensure your keepsake is protected and beautifully presented.

Built with Purpose and Heart

At Big Horn Design, every piece is custom, from the box depth to the background materials. Kay brings years of experience in composition and visual storytelling, while Dick handcrafts each frame for strength, stability, and style.


We also offer:


  • UV-protective glass to prevent fading
  • Brass hardware and hangers included
  • Custom plaques or nameplates available upon request
  • Unique layout options to feature multiple items in one design


Whether it’s a personal gift or a tribute to someone you love, we’ll work closely with you to design something meaningful, lasting, and one-of-a-kind.
