Memorial Jewellery: Turning Memories Into Timeless Keepsakes | Meraki Studio

When we lose someone we love, whether a family member, a friend, or a beloved pet, the memories we carry become treasures. Finding ways to hold onto those memories is an important part of healing. That is where memorial jewellery comes in. These pieces are designed not just to be worn, but to carry meaning, connection and love.

At Meraki Studio, I create handmade memorial jewellery using fingerprints, paw prints and nose prints. Each piece is a deeply personal keepsake, crafted to preserve your loved one’s unique touch in precious metal.

What is memorial jewellery?

Memorial jewellery is more than an accessory. It is a wearable connection to someone special. By preserving a real impression, you can keep them close to you every day in a way that feels comforting and tangible.

Meaningful styles to consider

  • Fingerprint jewellery: Every fingerprint is unique. When preserved in sterling silver or 9ct gold, it becomes a lasting reminder you can hold close.
  • Pet memorial jewellery: Our companions leave paw prints on our hearts. Paw and nose print jewellery lets you carry their memory wherever you go.

Why people choose memorial jewellery

Grief is personal, and we all find comfort in different ways. Memorial jewellery offers something you can touch and wear. For some, it is about feeling a loved one’s presence in everyday life. For others, it becomes a family heirloom that is passed down with care. Whatever your reason, memorial jewellery is always about love.

The Meraki Studio difference

Meraki means to do something with soul, creativity or love, leaving a piece of yourself in your work. Every piece I create carries this philosophy.

  • Handmade on Gadigal Land, Sydney, with care at every step
  • Lost wax casting technique that captures fine detail from your impression
  • Solid sterling silver and 9ct gold designed to be worn and loved for years
  • Recycled gold and silver, and ethically sourced gemstones
  • Free repairs for life on all our jewellery

I will guide you through capturing fingerprints, paw prints or nose prints so your keepsake turns out beautifully.

A keepsake for every story

No two stories are the same, and neither are the keepsakes I create. Some families choose to preserve multiple fingerprints together in a family fingerprint bar. Others choose a single paw or nose print to remember a loyal companion. Your piece is customised to reflect your story, ensuring it feels as personal as the person or pet it honours.

Choosing the right piece for you

  • Who you are honouring: a parent, child, partner or pet
  • How you want to wear it: necklace, bracelet or ring
  • Which impression feels right: fingerprint, paw print or nose print

If you need a hand deciding, I am here to help you choose a style, metal and chain length that suits your everyday wear and your story.

Honour your loved one with a timeless keepsake

Memorial jewellery transforms love and memory into something lasting, something you can hold close every day. At Meraki Studio, I pour care and soul into each piece so it becomes more than jewellery. It becomes a part of your story.
