AN EVERLASTING KEEPSAKE
Bespoke Fingerprint Pendants
Your fingerprints are an impression made by the papillary ridges found on the end of your fingers and thumbs. Using lost wax casting techniques, our jewellers are able to take fingerprint impressions of your loved ones to then craft an everlasting keepsake that is completely unique to each and every person. Crafted in 18k or 9k yellow, rose or white gold, they can be made using a plain bale or with additional embellishments such as scrollwork, gemstones and hand-engraved quotes or initials on the back.
The Process
1. To begin the process, we will book in an initial design consultation where the fingerprint impression is taken by our jeweller using heated wax.
2. During the initial consultation we will also discuss and sketch your design. Following approval and deposit payment, we will go ahead with the casting of your fingerprint using a lost wax technique.
3. After the pendant has been casted, our jewellers will complete the piece by crafting the bale and any discussed embellishments.
4. Once the piece is completed and polished, it will be ready for collection and to be worn and cherished for a lifetime.
Birthstone Embellishments
Go one step further in personalising your fingerprint pendant by embellishing it with a birthstone or meaningful gemstone.
