Memorial Fingerprint & Pet Print Jewellery

Preserve the unique touch of someone you love with handcrafted memorial fingerprint and pet print jewellery. Whether you're planning ahead or time is limited, I can create a lasting keepsake from wax, clay or silicone impressions, preserving every tiny detail in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold. Every memorial piece is handcrafted with care in my Sydney studio, helping families create something deeply personal that can be treasured for generations.

Preserve Their Touch Forever

Memorial jewellery offers a meaningful way to honour the people and pets who have shaped your life. Whether you're preserving a parent's fingerprint, a baby's tiny hand, or your dog's paw or nose print, every impression tells a story that can never be recreated.

I work closely with families, funeral homes, veterinarians and palliative care providers to create personalised fingerprint and pet print jewellery during what can be an incredibly difficult time. If there isn't enough time to receive one of my wax impression kits, there are several alternative methods that can still capture beautiful impressions suitable for jewellery.

Don't Have Time to Receive a Wax Kit?

Sometimes time is incredibly limited. If you can't wait for one of my wax impression kits to arrive, don't worry. I can often create jewellery from alternative types of impressions, provided they capture enough detail.

If you're unsure which option is best, please contact me before taking an impression and I'll happily guide you through the process.

1. Silicone Putty (Best Option)

Silicone putty captures excellent detail and is often the best alternative when time is limited. Products such as Pebeo Gedeo Siligum or Pinkysil can usually be purchased on Amazon or in local craft stores.

2. Polymer Clay (Great Alternative)

Can be purchased in most craft stores such as Spotlight or Eckersley's.Captures fine details but requires baking. Use soft polymer clay (e.g., Sculpey or Fimo). Press the fingertip into the clay, bake per instructions, and send it to us.

3. Air-Dry Clay (Last Resort)

Can be purchased in most craft stores such as Spotlight or Eckersley's.Less reliable and fragile but can work in urgent cases.Press the fingertip into moist clay and let it dry completely before sending.

Preserve Your Impression with Master Mould

A permanent master mould allows your original fingerprint, paw print or nose print to be preserved for years to come. Once created, your original impression no longer needs to be taken again, making it easy to commission additional jewellery in the future for family members or to celebrate important milestones.

Your master mould is securely stored, giving you peace of mind that your loved one's unique impression can always be recreated whenever you're ready.
