Our Process

Fingerprints work with pure silver, (99.9%) which is mixed with a binding agent to form a clay-like substance. It can be used just as you would ordinary clay but once dried, it becomes hard, enabling us to use our skills to shape it, engrave it, file it and sand it to a perfect finish before firing.
During heating (firing) the non-toxic binder burns away and the silver particles combine together to form a solid 99.9% pure silver object. At Fingerprints we have developed a unique way to create the impression of a fingerprint or artwork onto the clay and to make a truly unique piece of pure silver jewellery for you to treasure.

Fingerprint Jewellery

We gently press the finger directly onto the silver clay leaving an impression that clearly shows all of the fine lines that form each person’s unique fingerprint. The clay is then shaped, dried, sanded and kiln fired. During the firing process, the organic binding agent is burnt away leaving a solid silver pendant. It is then re-sanded, antiqued, highly polished and added to your choice of solid sterling silver fitting. The piece the finger is pressed into becomes your actual piece of jewellery.

NB: You need to be in an area where we have a Fingerprints Representative so that we can take the fingerprint.  We do charge a call out fee of $50 per order to travel within our region to take prints.

Please feel free to chat to us if you are outside an area that we have a Representative in.  At times we are able to make arrangements for prints to be taken so we welcome the opportunity to assist you if it is at all possible.

Hand Footprints Circle Pendant

Hand & Footprints Jewellery

Upon ordering a hand or footprint piece we will send you an inkless kit (this is included in the price). This simple kit allows you take your child’s feet or hand prints (without any mess). Once the print has been returned to us we transfer the print (in a perfect miniaturized version) onto a silver pendant and then we complete it with your choice of engraving. It’s that easy!

NB: If you have an existing print of hands or feet we can also use that, simply send us a copy via the post or our email address.

Little Works of Art Circle Key Ring

Little Works of Art

In order for us to imprint your artwork on to a silver pendant, we require a clear image generally no larger than an A4 piece of paper. This can be sent to us via the post (please do not send an original, a good photocopy is best) or as a scanned image via email. We assess the picture to ensure that it will fit on your chosen pendant shape and then set about creating your truly original piece by transferring the image onto the clay.

It is then shaped, dried, sanded and kiln fired. During the firing process, the organic binding agent is burnt away leaving a solid silver pendant. It is then re-sanded, antiqued, highly polished and added to your choice of solid sterling silver fitting.
