Fingerprint Jewellery from Someone Who Has Passed Away
(A compassionate guide by Uneik Jewellery, Australia)
Losing someone you love is one of life’s hardest experiences. In the midst of grief, many people find comfort in keeping a small, tangible reminder close — something they can touch, hold, and treasure. Fingerprint jewellery offers exactly that: a deeply personal way to remember someone special who has passed away.
At Uneik Jewellery, we understand how delicate and emotional this process can be. Each piece we create is handcrafted in our regional Victorian studio, using fingerprints, handprints, or ashes to create a meaningful memorial keepsake you can hold forever.
What Is Fingerprint Jewellery?
Fingerprint jewellery is a custom piece of memorial jewellery that features the unique fingerprint of your loved one. Each ridge and swirl captures an irreplaceable part of their identity, turned into a permanent piece you can wear every day.
We craft our fingerprint pendants, charms, and rings in 9ct gold or sterling silver, ensuring heirloom-quality pieces that last for generations. The result is more than jewellery — it’s a way to feel close to someone you miss, wherever you go.
How to Create Fingerprint Jewellery After Someone Has Died
Many families don’t realise that a fingerprint can still be taken after a loved one has passed away. If you’re currently navigating this situation, here’s what you can do:
-
Ask the funeral home or hospital
Most funeral directors, hospitals, and palliative care facilities are familiar with keepsake requests. They can often collect an ink or digital fingerprint for you. Even a partial print can be enough for us to work from. -
Contact Uneik Jewellery for guidance
We can provide detailed instructions and recommend ways to capture and send the print safely. We handle every request with care, privacy, and respect. -
Provide an existing print
Some families already have a fingerprint from a birth certificate, keepsake card, or earlier memento. These can often be scanned and used to create your jewellery design.
Once we receive the print, we carefully prepare it for your chosen design — whether that’s a fingerprint pendant, a signet ring, or a memorial charm. Every step is done by hand, ensuring your loved one’s fingerprint is reproduced faithfully in fine detail.
Alternatives if a Fingerprint Isn’t Available
Sometimes a fingerprint can’t be obtained — and that’s perfectly okay. Uneik Jewellery offers several equally meaningful alternatives for memorial keepsakes:
-
Handwriting Jewellery: Use a signature, note, or message from a card or letter to preserve your loved one’s handwriting in gold or silver.
-
Ashes Jewellery: We blend a small portion of ashes into clear or coloured resin, allowing you to choose how visible or subtle you’d like them to appear. A soft shimmer of opal or pearl can be added for light and warmth.
-
Handprint, Footprint, or Pawprint Jewellery: Perfect for remembering babies, children, or pets — we can work from prints already collected or help you create new ones.
Each alternative carries its own form of comfort, reflecting the connection you shared in a way that feels right for you.
Our Care and Process
Creating memorial and ashes jewellery requires trust. We treat every order as a privilege and a responsibility. From your first contact, we’ll guide you gently through each step — how to send prints or ashes, what to expect, and how we protect every item you entrust to us.
You’ll also receive progress photos, showing the stage where ashes or prints are respectfully added to your jewellery. This transparency helps bring peace of mind and ensures you feel part of the creation journey.
Every piece is individually cast, polished, and engraved by hand in our regional Victorian workshop, using solid 9ct gold or sterling silver. No two pieces are ever the same — just like no two stories of love and loss are the same.

At Uneik Jewellery, every piece tells a story — your story. Crafted with compassion, care, and respect, our memorial keepsakes help you keep memories alive in the most personal way possible.
