Fingerprint Necklace
There is nothing more personal than a fingerprint. Every one of us has a unique pattern of swirls on our fingertips that differentiate us from one another. If you want to honour a loved one or represent your individuality through personalised jewellery, fingerprint necklaces are the perfect choice.
Fingerprint necklaces feature a chain and pendant with a fingerprint engraved onto it. In addition to the prints being unique on each piece, the natural shapes are beautiful and serve as a tribute to the individual.
You can wear these necklaces to a range of occasions as they can be delicate or bold. As they are handcrafted, precious metals such as sterling silver and gold are the chosen materials to add elegance and longevity.

Whatever you want it to be!
The main reason why people get fingerprint jewellery is to carry memories from a loved one wherever they go. Perhaps it's to celebrate a romantic partner or remember someone who has passed; the meaning is up to you.
Consider a fingerprint necklace for a sentimental gift to a partner, friend, or family member. It is a deeply personal piece that only they will understand. Even though engraved necklaces with names or dates are great for feeling close to others, they aren't intimate like fingerprints.
However, if you want to add context to the fingerprint necklace, you can use other pendants and attach them to the chain with the initials, date, or other details you want to include.
You've decided to get a fingerprint necklace, but how do you get the most important part?
The first step is choosing where to get the necklace from. With Camile & Stone, the process is incredibly easy:
In just 7-12 business days, your gorgeous fingerprint necklace will be in your or your loved one's hands.
Other jewellery companies can have a different process. This could include using a special ink or moulding putty to take the print.
Once you've captured a clear fingerprint and sent it off to the jewellers, they can begin the designing and engraving process.
The technology and equipment used by each service differs, but nowadays most use digital software to capture a detailed rendering of the fingerprint. This ensure they get every last line, creating a fully unique, accurate design.
Next, the pendant is engraved with a laser or by hand. After this step, the pendant gets polished to make it top quality and ready for assembly. It's slipped onto a chain and ready to be posted.
One of the best things about fingerprint necklaces is that you can maintain a connection with those who have passed.

Funeral homes typically take fingerprints of those in their service prior to burial or cremation. Reach out and request they provide one.
Even after the funeral, it's not too late! If you have a high-quality picture of the loved one's hands, you may be able to use it to send off to jewellers. To make it easier for the fingerprint to be created accurately, adjust the contrast and sharpness for clarity.
Finally, if all else fails, search through old records like birth certificates or other documents.
Capturing a moment or story with as little as a fingerprint is a beautiful thing, creating a jewellery piece to treasure for a long, long time.
Despite being made from high-quality materials, some cleaning tips should be followed to ensure your necklace stays in top condition.
Most importantly, when you clean a fingerprint necklace, never use harsh cleaning products. Stick with warm water and a small amount of mild soap and very gently wipe it or scrub stubborn marks off with a soft toothbrush.
After, rinse it with warm water to get rid of all the soap and leave it to dry before wearing.
