Helpful ideas for creating meaningful jewellery and keepsakes using baby handprints, children’s footprints and memorial prints.
Handprint and footprint jewellery uses a child’s, baby’s or loved one’s print to create a personal engraved keepsake. The print can be taken from ink, paint, a photo, a scan or a clear image, then carefully prepared and engraved onto your chosen jewellery design.
These keepsakes are popular for baby milestones, family gifts, memorial jewellery, christenings, birthdays and meaningful presents for parents or grandparents.
A baby’s tiny handprint or footprint is one of those moments many families want to keep forever. Handprint and footprint jewellery can preserve that early stage in a beautiful and lasting way.
Necklaces, charms, bracelets and keyrings are all popular choices for baby print keepsakes. They can also be personalised with a name, date of birth, short message or birthstone-style detail.
Handprint and footprint jewellery can also be created as a memorial keepsake. A saved print, card, scan or image can become a meaningful piece of jewellery that helps keep a loved one close.
Memorial print jewellery may include a name, date, handwriting, fingerprint-style detail or a short engraved message, creating a personal tribute that feels unique to the person being remembered.
A clear handprint or footprint usually gives the best result. This may be an ink print, painted print, digital scan, photo or image taken from a keepsake card.
The clearer the print, the better the engraving detail. Try to avoid blurry photos, dark shadows or prints where the fingers, toes or outline are difficult to see.
