I have a couple pieces of jewelry that have glass beads that are hollow that you look through and see a tiny picture. One is a hat pin in the shape of a barrel that has a pic of Niagara Falls. I cannot for the life of me remember what these pieces are called. Any help?

A Hologram or Holographic jewelry, once was very popular for souvenirs.

I did look that up, hmmm I don't know. Without seeing what the OP has wish they would come back.
What I was thinking, remember those plastic souvenir pieces sometimes they were tiny little cones with a keychain attached and you look thru it and seen oh...Mt Rushmore or Niagara falls? Is this Stanhope jewelry just religious pieces?

No, they weren't just used for religious or souvenir. There were shall we say some x-rated pieces out there in watch fobs, rings, knives and any other items. There were some advertising pieces as well. The history of Stanhopes is interesting.
