Our pets are more than just animals—they’re family. Whether it’s a loyal dog who greets you with endless excitement or a cat who curls up beside you after a long day, these cherished companions leave a lasting mark on our hearts.
For those who want to carry a reminder of their beloved pet wherever they go, paw print and nose print jewellery offers a unique way to preserve their touch forever. Crafted in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold, each piece is designed to hold deep sentimental value, turning a simple imprint into a treasured keepsake.
Why Pet Keepsake Jewellery?
🐾 A Personalised Tribute – Every pet is unique, and so are their prints. Just like human fingerprints, no two paw prints or nose prints are the same. Impression jewellery captures their distinct features in stunning detail, allowing you to keep a part of them close.
🐾 A Keepsake That Lasts Forever – Unlike photos that fade or fur clippings that are fragile, solid sterling silver and 9ct gold jewellery is made to stand the test of time. Each impression is permanently preserved using the traditional lost wax casting technique, ensuring every ridge and marking is beautifully retained.
🐾 For Pets Still With Us & Those We’ve Lost – Whether your furry companion is still by your side or has crossed the rainbow bridge, a personalised pet keepsake is a comforting way to honour their memory. Many pet owners find that wearing their pet’s impression provides a sense of closeness and comfort long after they’re gone.
A Thoughtful Gift for Pet Lovers
Looking for a heartfelt gift for a fellow dog lover or cat owner? Pet keepsake jewellery is a deeply personal and meaningful present, perfect for birthdays, holidays, or simply as a way to celebrate the unbreakable bond between a pet and their human. Whether it’s for yourself or a loved one, this is a gift that will be cherished forever.

Losing a loved one is an incredibly emotional experience, and finding a way to keep them close can bring great comfort. Fingerprint jewellery offers a deeply personal way to honour their memory, preserving their unique touch in a timeless piece crafted from solid sterling silver or 9ct gold.
For those who have time to plan, we provide fingerprint impression wax kits, allowing you to take a detailed print that will be cast using the lost wax casting method. However, in sudden situations, you may not have access to a kit. If a loved one is nearing the end of their life or has passed unexpectedly, there are still ways to capture their fingerprint and create a lasting keepsake.
How to Take a Fingerprint Without a Wax Kit
If you don’t have one of our wax impression kits on hand, there are alternative methods using materials that can be found at craft stores, office supply stores, or even funeral homes.
1. Silicone Moulding Putty (Best Option)
A two-part silicone moulding putty is one of the most reliable ways to capture a fingerprint. This type of material is used for mould-making and sets quickly while preserving intricate details.
Look for brands such as Pebeo Gedeo Moulding Siligum (blue) or Pinkysil Putty Silicone Rubber.
These products can often be found at craft stores like Spotlight, Officeworks, or online retailers.
Simply mix the two components together, press the fingertip into the putty, and allow it to set.
Once cured, the mould can be sent to us to create a solid silver or gold fingerprint pendant.
♥️ This method provides the best detail and ensures an accurate fingerprint impression.
2. Polymer Clay (Good Alternative)
If silicone putty is not available, polymer clay is another option. It’s easy to find in craft stores, and although it requires baking, it captures fine details well.
Choose a soft polymer clay such as Sculpey or Fimo.
Gently press the fingertip into the clay and carefully remove it.
Follow the baking instructions on the packaging—be careful not to overbake, as excessive heat can cause loss of detail.
Once hardened, the clay can be sent to us to create a custom fingerprint piece.
This method works well if handled carefully but requires baking for durability.
3. Air-Dry Clay (Last Resort Option)
If the only available option is air-dry clay, it can still work, but it’s not as reliable as silicone or polymer clay.
Press the fingertip into the clay while it’s still moist.
Let the clay dry completely—avoid pressing too hard, as this can distort the print.
Once dry, the imprint can be sent to us for assessment.
♥️ This method can be fragile, but if it's the only option available, we can discuss ways to make it work.
When Should You Take the Fingerprint?
If your loved one is still with you, you can take the impression at home using any of the above materials. If they have already passed, you may still have time to capture their fingerprint:
Hospitals, palliative care, and funeral homes often allow families to take prints before final arrangements.
Some funeral homes may already have fingerprinting supplies on hand—ask if they can take an imprint for you.
If time is short, use whatever method is available and contact us for guidance.
Turning the Impression into a Timeless Keepsake
Once you have the fingerprint mould, it can be transformed into a unique piece of jewellery.
Handcrafted using the lost wax casting method, each piece preserves the fingerprint in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold.
Customisation options include:
Hand-stamped initials on the reverse of your piece.
Double-sided impressions to feature multiple loved ones.
♥️ Free repairs for life are included for all handmade custom pieces, ensuring your keepsake lasts forever.
A Way to Keep Them Close, Always
Losing someone is never easy, but having their fingerprint engraved in silver or gold allows you to carry their touch with you every day. Whether you’re preparing ahead of time or navigating an unexpected loss, there is always a way to preserve their memory.

Life is made up of moments—some fleeting, some unforgettable. Whether it’s the birth of a child, a cherished day with a loved one, or a quiet, personal milestone, impression print jewellery offers a way to preserve these memories forever. A fingerprint, a handwritten note, or even a pet’s paw print can be transformed into a tangible keepsake, allowing you to carry a meaningful moment with you always.
This guide explores how to capture a memory using impression print jewellery, what occasions are most meaningful, and how your keepsake can be crafted into a piece that lasts a lifetime.
Why Capture a Memory in Jewellery?
Some moments are too precious to fade into the past. Impression print jewellery turns memories into something you can wear and hold, creating a lasting connection to a time, person, or event that shaped your life.
Here’s why it’s such a powerful way to honour a special moment:
A timeless keepsake – Unlike photos or digital records, a fingerprint or impression is a physical mark of the moment itself.
Deeply personal – Every fingerprint, handprint, or engraving is unique to the individual.
Designed to last – Crafted in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold, each piece is a lifelong treasure.
Whether it’s capturing a newborn’s fingerprint, preserving a loved one’s touch, or keeping a pet’s paw print, impression jewellery ensures your memories never fade.
Meaningful Moments to Capture
There are endless ways to celebrate life’s milestones through jewellery. Some of the most popular include:
1. A Child’s First Impressions
Babies grow quickly, but their first fingerprints, handprints, or footprints can be preserved in silver or gold forever. Many parents choose to capture their baby’s tiny fingerprint within the first year as a sentimental reminder of their earliest days.
Tip: For babies under 12 months, we recommend taking an impression from the creases between their fingers for the best detail.
2. A Wedding or Anniversary
Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments in life, and fingerprint jewellery can be a unique way to commemorate it. Some couples choose to:
Get their partner's fingerprint on a necklace or ring.
Take a joint fingerprint impression and have it cast into a pendant.
Include their wedding date or initials for extra meaning.
It’s a modern twist on the traditional engraved wedding band, offering something even more personal.
3. A Parent’s or Grandparent’s Touch
Time spent with family is priceless, and many people choose to preserve a parent’s or grandparent’s fingerprint as a way to hold onto their love forever.
Perfect as a gift for Mother’s or Father’s Day.
A heartfelt way to celebrate a grandparent’s milestone birthday.
Keeps them close even if they live far away.
A solid gold or sterling silver fingerprint pendant is a beautiful way to honour the ones who shaped your life.
4. A Pet’s Paw or Nose Print
For many, pets are family. Capturing their paw print or nose print in jewellery allows you to carry their presence with you always.
Ideal for celebrating a new pet or honouring an older one.
A perfect gift for pet lovers.
A way to keep their memory alive long after they’re gone.
Each paw print pendant is handcrafted using the lost wax casting technique to preserve every tiny detail.
5. A Personal Milestone
Not all meaningful moments involve others—sometimes, we want to capture a personal achievement or life chapter.
A reminder of a new beginning, career change, or journey.
A celebration of self-love, resilience, or growth.
A unique piece that represents where you are right now.
Fingerprint jewellery isn’t just about preserving memories of others—it can be a way to honour yourself and your journey.
How Impression Print Jewellery is Made
Each memory is transformed into jewellery through the lost wax casting method, a centuries-old technique that ensures every fingerprint, paw print, or impression is perfectly preserved.
Step 1: Taking the Impression
Use an impression wax kit to capture fingerprints, paw prints, or handwriting.
Take multiple impressions to ensure the best result.
Step 2: Handcrafting the Jewellery
The wax impression print is cast in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold.
The process preserves every ridge, line, and texture.
Each piece is polished by hand.
Step 3: Personalisation & Final Touches
Hand-stamped initials can be added to the back of your piece.
Choose a chain style and length to suit your preference.
Add birthstones or custom details for extra sentimentality.
Because each piece is handmade to order, all custom fingerprint jewellery includes free repairs for life - ensuring your keepsake lasts as long as your memories.
Wearing Your Memory Every Day
Jewellery has long been a way to tell stories, and impression print jewellery takes this to a deeply personal level. Wearing a fingerprint pendant or ring isn’t just about style—it’s about carrying a piece of someone, something, or a moment that changed your life.
A parent’s fingerprint can be a comforting presence for a child.
A wedding fingerprint ring is a daily reminder of love and commitment.
A pet’s paw print keeps them close no matter where life takes you.
Whether worn daily or kept for special occasions, each piece is a physical connection to your most cherished memories.

Jewellery has long been a way to hold onto memories, but impression print jewellery takes that sentiment to a whole new level. Whether it's a loved one's fingerprint, a child's first handprint, a pet’s paw print, or even a handwritten message, impression print jewellery transforms personal imprints into one-of-a-kind keepsakes.
Using the traditional lost wax casting method, each unique detail is carefully preserved in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold, ensuring that your cherished memory lasts a lifetime.
The Meaning Behind Impression Print Jewellery
Unlike engraved jewellery, which simply etches a design onto a flat surface, impression print jewellery captures the true depth and texture of a fingerprint, paw print, or other personal imprint. Every ridge, line, and curve is cast into metal, preserving an exact impression of a moment in time.
This makes it especially meaningful for memorial jewellery, allowing you to keep a tangible connection to a loved one, whether human or pet. It’s also a beautiful way to celebrate births, anniversaries, weddings, or other life milestones.
How Lost Wax Casting Brings Prints to Life
The lost wax casting technique has been used for centuries to create highly detailed metalwork. This traditional process ensures that every detail of the original wax impression is perfectly preserved. Here’s how it works:
Taking the Impression – Using a special wax kit, you’ll take an imprint of your loved one’s fingerprint, pet’s paw print, or a handwritten message. If capturing a newborn’s print, I recommend taking an imprint of the creases between their fingers for a clearer result.
Creating the Wax Model – Once I receive your impression, I carefully refine and shape the wax model by hand.
Casting in Precious Metal – The wax model is then encased in a special mould. During casting, molten sterling silver or 9ct gold replaces the wax, creating a perfect metal replica of your original impression.
Hand Finishing – After casting, I polish and refine each piece by hand, ensuring a smooth, wearable finish while preserving every unique detail.
This labour-intensive process results in a deeply personal, high-quality keepsake that will stand the test of time.
Why Choose Solid Sterling Silver or 9ct Gold?
Impression print jewellery is meant to last a lifetime, which is why I only use solid precious metals rather than plating or filling.
Sterling Silver – A classic, timeless choice that beautifully highlights fine details.
9ct Gold – A durable, heirloom-quality metal available in yellow, white, or rose gold.
Since these are solid metals, they can be worn daily and even passed down through generations.
Occasions for Impression Print Jewellery
Because each piece is entirely custom-made, impression print jewellery is perfect for capturing life’s most meaningful moments:
Memorial Jewellery – Keep a loved one’s fingerprint close to your heart.
Pet Keepsakes – Capture a beloved pet’s paw or nose print forever.
Newborn Gifts – A baby’s first fingerprint or handprint makes a treasured keepsake.
Anniversaries & Weddings – Engrave a partner’s fingerprint or handwritten message.
Family Prints – Combine multiple fingerprints onto one piece for a unique family keepsake.
Whatever the occasion, your jewellery will be as unique as the moment it represents.
