What is Fingerprint Jewellery?
Fingerprint jewellery are personalised jewels with your child’s unique fingerprint, handprint or footprint. Pieces may include bracelets, keyrings and cufflinks.
How Are Fingerprints Added?
Kits are sent to customers in order to capture your child’s print. One way may include a silicone mould to take a cast of the fingerprint including the shape and detail of the finger. A second way includes pencil, sellotape and paper to take a flat print of the fingerprint. This method doesn’t require a kit and can be scanned and emailed to the jewellery maker.
