How Fingerprint / Memorial Jewellery Works
Creating your fingerprint ring is a simple and personal process.
After placing your order, we will set an appointment for your fingerprint to be captured in wax. We do not take fingerprints in print format to ensure safety and security. The wax fingerprint model is then melted away and replaced with silver.
If you are ordering from outside of Malta a kit with wax and instructions will be sent to you according to the item you ordered. Each jewellery pieces is then shaped, finished and polished by hand in the Jos Atelier workshop in Malta.
Because every fingerprint/memorial item is unique, no two items will ever be exactly the same.
A Completely Personal Keepsake
A fingerprint /memorial item preserves a real connection with someone special.
It can celebrate the birth of a child, mark a relationship or anniversary, honour a parent or grandparent, or keep the memory of a loved one close.
Each piece is designed to be worn every day while carrying a story that belongs only to you.

Your jewellery is:
