When it comes to creating fingerprint jewellery, choosing the right metal is essential to ensure every delicate detail is preserved for a lifetime. At Meraki Studio, we use solid 9ct gold for our fingerprint impressions because of its perfect balance between durability and wearability.
If you’ve ever wondered why we don’t use higher carats, here’s everything you need to know about why 9ct gold is the ideal choice for fingerprint jewellery.
The Durability of 9ct Gold
Fingerprint jewellery is designed to be worn every day, which means it needs to stand the test of time. 9ct gold is stronger and more resistant to wear than higher carats, ensuring your fingerprint impression stays crisp and defined for years to come.
Higher gold content = softer metal – As the gold content increases, the metal becomes softer.
9ct gold is more durable – The lower percentage of pure gold (37.5%) is balanced with other metals to create a stronger, longer-lasting piece.
Perfect for everyday wear – Your jewellery will keep its shape and details, even with daily use.
Why Not Use Higher Carat Gold?
While 18ct or 24ct gold is often associated with luxury, these higher carats are much softer and more prone to wear. Over time, this can cause the fine ridges of a fingerprint impression to wear down, making them less defined.
18ct gold (75% gold) – Softer and more prone to scratches and surface wear.
24ct gold (99.9% gold) – Extremely soft, making it unsuitable for holding fine details like fingerprints.
If you specifically want a higher carat gold for your fingerprint jewellery, we can customise your order - just reach out to us to arrange pricing.
Why 9ct Gold Is the Best Choice for Fingerprint Jewellery
Stronger & more resistant to wear – Ensures your fingerprint stays visible over time.
Ideal for everyday wear – Less prone to scratches and dents than higher carats.
A beautiful balance of durability & warmth – Retains the classic gold look without the fragility of higher-carat options.

Family is at the heart of everything we do, and what better way to keep your loved ones close than with a personalised piece of jewellery? A family fingerprint bar is a beautiful way to capture the unique touch of each family member in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold, creating a timeless keepsake that tells your story.
If you’re considering a fingerprint bar, here’s everything you need to know about capturing each impression and creating a piece that represents your family.
What Is a Family Fingerprint Bar?
A family fingerprint bar is a custom jewellery piece that features the fingerprints of two or more loved ones, arranged side by side on a sleek bar design. Whether it’s parents and children, siblings, or even multiple generations, this sentimental piece preserves the unique impressions of your family forever.
Each fingerprint is carefully pressed into wax, which we then cast in solid metal using the lost wax casting technique—ensuring every tiny ridge and detail is perfectly preserved.
How to Capture Your Family’s Fingerprints
To create a perfect fingerprint bar, you’ll need to capture each impression clearly. Here’s how:
1. Choose Who to Include
A family fingerprint bar can feature impressions from two to four people (or more, depending on the size). Consider who you’d like to include—partners, children, parents, or even a beloved grandparent.
2. Use a Wax Impression Kit
At Meraki Studio, we provide a wax fingerprint kit that makes the process simple. The wax softens in your hands, making it easy to take a clear impression.
3. Press Each Finger Gently
Adults & older children: Staring to one end of the wax take it in turns to press the fingertip gently into the wax side-by-side, applying even pressure to capture the ridges.
Babies under 12 months: Instead of the fingertip, take an impression of the creases between their fingers for a more defined imprint.
4. Label Each Print For Stamping
If you want to include initials stamped on the back of your pendant, make sure to label whose fingerprint is whose so we can stamp with the correct initial.
5. Send It Back for Casting
Once you’re happy with your impressions, return the wax to us, and we’ll handcraft your piece in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold, preserving each detail forever.
Why Choose a Family Fingerprint Bar?
A Symbol of Connection – Each print represents someone special, keeping your loved ones with you wherever you go.
Timeless & Personal – Unlike standard jewellery, a fingerprint bar carries real, personal meaning.
A Treasured Keepsake – Perfect for milestone moments, from the birth of a child to celebrating family bonds.
Create Your Own Family Fingerprint Bar
At Meraki Studio, every fingerprint bar is handcrafted with love using the traditional lost wax casting method. Whether you choose sterling silver or 9ct gold, your piece will be a one-of-a-kind keepsake to cherish forever.

Babies grow and change so quickly, and many parents look for meaningful ways to capture those fleeting early moments. One beautiful way to do this is through fingerprint jewellery, creating a lasting keepsake of your little one’s unique imprint. However, if your baby is under 12 months old, you may notice that their fingerprints aren’t as defined as an older child’s or an adult’s.
If you're looking to create a personalised fingerprint impression in jewellery, here’s what you need to know about capturing a baby’s fingerprints successfully.
Do Babies Have Fingerprints?
Yes, babies are born with fingerprints, but the fine details—such as the delicate ridges and patterns—are often too faint to transfer clearly, especially in the first few months of life. Newborns and infants have incredibly soft skin, and their fingertips are still developing, making it difficult to capture a well-defined fingerprint impression.
How to Capture a Baby’s Fingerprint Impression
Instead of trying to press a baby’s fingertip into wax or ink, we recommend capturing an impression of the creases and folds in their skin. These tiny details create a unique and beautiful texture that translates beautifully into jewellery.
Best Method for Babies Under 12 Months
Choose the Right Area: Rather than using the fingerprint pad, take an impression from the creases between their fingers or the palm of their hand. These lines will create a more visible and defined imprint.
Use a Soft Wax Kit: At Meraki Studio, we provide a wax impression kit designed to capture fine details without discomfort. The wax softens in your hands, making it easy to press your baby’s hand or finger into.
Press Gently: Lightly press the chosen area into the softened wax. Avoid too much pressure, as this can distort the impression.
Check the Detail: If needed, you can try again until you achieve an imprint with visible lines.
Send It Back for Casting: Once you're happy with the impression, send it back to us, and we’ll transform it into a solid sterling silver or 9ct gold keepsake.
Why These Impressions Make Beautiful Jewellery
While you may expect a traditional fingerprint, the creases and folds of a baby’s skin create an organic, natural impression that is just as unique. These impressions are a true reflection of your baby at this precious stage—something you can hold onto forever.
