If you are interested in learning the full process in order to make jewellery for yourself please see my courses and training page. I often get asked how to make fingerprint jewellery. In theory it's really quite simple however in reality it takes a lot of skill and practice, professional training and good quality jewellery making tools make your precious fingerprint jewellery. To make your fingerprint jewellery I will need a mould of your loved ones finger tip. This is created using special moulding putty that captures the tiny details on the fingerprint. This mould is used to create an exact replica of the fingerprint which is then used to imprint into the silver. Watch the video below to see how amazingly easy it is to make the fingerprint mould (scroll down for the inkless wipes video for taking full hand or footprints).
Buy a fingerprint Moulding kit >>> The jewellery is made from silver clay. This is so named because it is a clay like substance which can be made into any shape. I will create a cast from your fingerprint mould which is a relica of your fingerp tip. It is pressed into the clay to make the impression. The clay is then dried, finished, fired and polished to create a completely hand made silver charm. The clay jewellery is fired in a kiln to over 800°C. The firing process burns away the binder that makes the silver behave like clay, and leaves behind a solid piece of silver. I prefer to work with sterling silver, however I am able to work with fine silver. The images above are of the first charm I ever made, even with really good training it takes quite a lot of practice to make them look like nice. Below are some more recent charms I have made. Ink print jewellery If you don't have moulds available but you have good clear prints on paper, these can also be used to create a precious keepsake. The 2d image of the print is used to make a 3d stamp that enables me to stamp your print into your jewellery creating a wonderful textured piece. Unlike with machine engraved pieces, these handmade ink fingerprint charms have a deep set
print. Browse ink fingerprint jewellery >>> Hand/foot/paw print jewellery
This is made in a similar way to the ink fingerprint jewellery. The same silver clay is used to create the jewellery but the print is taken using an inkless wipe system. The wipe enables you to capture a clear print of the hand, foot or paw. Because it is invisible and not like thick paint, it captures a clear print including all of the fine details which sometimes get lost in paint prints. It's also a lot less messy!
The print is scanned in to my computer, I use special techniques to edit it to miniaturise it and create a negative of the print which is then used in a special machine to create a stamp of the hand,foot or paw print. this stamp is used to create an impression in the silver clay, much ike with the silver jewellery. As with the fingerprint moulds, the prints used in this jewellery will be returned to you in case you wish to use them again or get them framed as an extra keepsake. I will keep a digital copy in case you'd like to order orjewellery in the furture. If you have a hand or foot print previously taken that you wish to use to create a special piece of jewellery this can also be done, even paint prints can be used. I can accept images via email if you have a scanner or good photograph. Alternatively, a black and white photocopy will work just as well, I won't ask you to send me your precious originals. View the hand and footprint jewellery collection >>> Artwork and handwriting jewellery
As with the Hand/foot/paw print jewellery, artwork jewellery is created using a miniature stamp of the drawing or writing. Because of the size, detailed drawings do not work well for this type of piece. It is best to choose a picture with strong lines. Children's 'stick' people drawings generally work quite well! Artwork and handwriting jewellery >>> Ashes and hair jewellery
All of my ashes pieces are hand filled with specialist resin here in the studio. Each ashes piece is carefully made using using several layers of resin. The first layer is the colour, the second layer is a clear or lightly tinted layer in which your ashes hair or pet fur are incased and the third layer is a clear protective coating. How are thumbprint necklaces made?Using digital images of your beloved's fingerprint, they can create a wax mold. This mold is called the pattern. It's a 3D replica of your loved one's fingerprint made out of wax. Next, they use what's called the lost wax casting method to make your fingerprint jewelry.
How long does it take to make a fingerprint necklace?The fingerprint or thumbprint jewelry takes approximately four to eight weeks to complete for the entire process from placing the order to receiving your keepsake.
How do you get a fingerprint necklace for a deceased person?How do I get their fingerprint? Most funeral homes take the fingerprints of the deceased and keep them on file. You can call the funeral home to see if they did indeed take fingerprints and ask them to forward to Jewelry Keepsakes. Or we are happy to call them for you and assist in any way that we can.
