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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.


Why Families Choose Uneik Jewellery

Families across Australia choose Uneik Jewellery for our combination of empathy, craftsmanship, and personal service. We know this isn’t an ordinary purchase — it’s an emotional one. Our goal is to make the process as comforting and straightforward as possible.

We’re honoured to create keepsakes that hold meaning for generations, helping people carry love beyond loss. Whether you choose fingerprint jewellery, ashes jewellery, or handwriting jewellery, each Uneik piece is made to symbolise connection, remembrance, and eternal love.


In Loving Memory

When words fall short, a fingerprint or a small piece of jewellery can say everything. It can bring comfort during quiet moments, and serve as a reminder that your loved one is always close.

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.

Ashes Jewellery Australia: A Beautiful Way to Hold Love Close

In Australia, we share a deep connection to our land and our loved ones. Love never truly leaves us; it simply takes another form. At Uneik Jewellery, we believe memorials should be as personal as the people or pets they honour.

Therefore, we create our ashes jewellery with immense care, compassion, and respect. Every piece is handcrafted from scratch in our regional Victorian studio. Because we are a local Australian business, we understand the importance of creating a beautiful, lasting connection that you can wear and cherish forever.

What Is Ashes Jewellery?

Ashes jewellery, often called memorial or cremation jewellery, holds a small portion of ashes within a custom design. At Uneik, we mix the ashes with high-quality resin rather than casting them directly into metal. Consequently, this gives each piece an elegant, durable finish and a deeply personal look.

Whether you are in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, or regional Australia, we provide several meaningful styles, including:

  • Ashes pendants: These allow you to keep a loved one close to your heart.

  • Ashes rings: These offer an elegant and tactile way to remember.

  • Ashes charms and keyrings: These act as meaningful keepsakes for your daily life.

Because we make every piece by hand, one at a time, your jewellery will truly reflect your loved one’s unique story.

Custom Styles for Every Australian Family

We know that every memory is unique. For this reason, your keepsake should be unique as well. When you personalise your memorial jewellery at our Victorian studio, you have several beautiful options to consider.

Ashes Visibility Options

First, you can choose a transparent finish. In this style, the ashes remain softly visible. This shows the gentle, organic textures of the remains. Alternatively, you may prefer an opaque finish. This option hides the ashes behind a solid colour, which provides a private and subtle appearance for those who value discretion.

Australian Opal Enhancements

To add radiance and symbolism, we can include genuine Australian opal fragments in the resin. You might choose a light sprinkling for a delicate shimmer. However, many people prefer a heavier addition to create a vibrant, galaxy-like effect. Because opals are iconic to Australia and catch the light beautifully, they perfectly symbolise hope and eternal connection.

Pet Ashes Jewellery Australia

Our pet ashes jewellery honours the loyalty of your furry or feathered family members. From pawprint pendants to ashes rings, these pieces celebrate the unconditional love your pets brought into your Australian home.

Many of our customers choose to combine pet ashes with a soft colour tint or an opal shimmer. As a result, the piece becomes a gentle reminder of a spirit that continues to shine.

The Uneik Creation Process

We follow a careful, step-by-step process to ensure your jewellery is perfect:

  1. Consultation: We help you choose the jewellery type, colour, and finish.

  2. Preparation: You provide a small amount of ashes (about one teaspoon).

  3. Blending: We carefully mix the ashes into the resin by hand.

  4. Setting: We add the resin to your custom piece and let it set under controlled conditions.

  5. Finishing: Finally, we hand-polish and inspect your piece before packaging it for delivery across Australia.

To make the experience even more meaningful, we include production photos. These images show the delicate process of incorporating the ashes into your jewellery.

How We Handle Your Ashes

We understand the emotional weight of sending ashes to us. Therefore, we handle every parcel with the utmost respect and privacy.

  • We only require a small amount of ashes (around one teaspoon).

  • We safely return any unused ashes with your finished piece.

  • We perform every stage by hand in our Victorian studio and never outsource our work overseas.

Caring for Your Memorial Jewellery

To ensure your Uneik piece stays beautiful in our Australian climate, you should follow a few simple care steps. For example, avoid submerging the jewellery in water and always remove it before swimming or bathing. Additionally, store your piece in a soft pouch and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the resin’s clarity.

A Forever Connection Handcrafted in Victoria

Each Uneik ashes piece is made with love and empathy right here in regional Victoria. Whether it holds the ashes of a person or a pet, it is more than just an accessory. It is a story of love, life, and remembrance, captured forever in a wearable work of art.

💎 Keepsake Jewellery: Where Memories Become Treasures

At Uneik Jewellery, we believe jewellery should hold meaning — not just sparkle. Our keepsake jewellery is designed to capture love, connection, and memory in beautiful, tangible form. Each piece is handcrafted individually in our regional Victorian studio using traditional lost-wax casting techniques, giving every design a warm, tactile quality you can feel.

Keepsake jewellery isn’t about following trends — it’s about creating something deeply personal that lasts for generations.


❤️ A Personal Connection That Lasts

Every Uneik piece is created to represent a story, a person, or a moment that matters. Whether you’re celebrating a new life, honouring family, or remembering someone you’ve lost, your keepsake jewellery becomes a daily reminder of love and connection.

Our designs can include fingerprints, handprints, footprints, pawprints, names, or even ashes, each one carefully incorporated into the metal before it’s cast. No engraving, no templates — just genuine craftsmanship and heartfelt detail.


🎁 Perfect for Meaningful Gifting

In Australia, more people are turning to personalised keepsake jewellery as heartfelt gifts for life’s milestones — birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or memorials.

When you give a piece from Uneik Jewellery, you’re offering more than a gift — you’re giving a part of someone’s story, beautifully preserved in sterling silver or 9 ct gold. These pieces become instant treasures, often passed down through generations.


🌿 A Legacy That Lives On

Because each Uneik keepsake is made from scratch and crafted to last, it naturally becomes a modern heirloom. Over time, these pieces gain more than sentimental value — they gather history. A fingerprint pendant, a name ring, or an ashes piece tells a family’s story long after it’s first worn.


✨ Versatile, Personal, and Uniquely Yours

Our keepsake range includes rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, and keyrings, all designed to be customised for your story. You can choose your metal, print type, or ashes inclusion — ensuring every piece feels as personal as the bond it represents.

Every Uneik creation is unique because every memory is.


💛 Keepsake Jewellery to Treasure Forever

In a world of fleeting trends, keepsake jewellery stands apart — lasting, meaningful, and deeply personal. It symbolises love, remembrance, and connection, turning memories into something you can hold close always.

Memorial Jewellery Australia: Holding Love Beyond a Lifetime

In the intricate tapestry of life, memories weave themselves into the fabric of who we are. When we lose someone dear, those memories become priceless threads that continue to shape our story. At Uneik Jewellery, we help you honour those connections through memorial jewellery. We create meaningful keepsakes that turn love and remembrance into something you can hold close.

We handcraft each piece from scratch in our regional Victorian studio. Our team works with compassion and care, using the traditional lost-wax casting technique. Whether you choose a fingerprint pendant, an ashes ring, or a piece featuring handwriting, we make every design individually. Consequently, each piece celebrates a unique life, a bond, and a cherished memory.

Eternalising Cherished Memories

Memories are timeless treasures, and memorial jewellery allows those memories to live on. Uneik’s keepsakes provide comfort and connection by transforming the presence of a loved one into a tangible reminder of enduring love.

Every piece is deeply personal. We can incorporate fingerprints, handprints, footprints, ashes, or even original handwriting. These details are never simply engraved or etched onto the surface. Instead, we incorporate them into the metal before casting. This creates a tactile surface that you can feel as much as you can see.

Because of this meticulous process, your keepsake carries both beauty and genuine emotional depth. It becomes a lasting tribute made to be treasured forever.

Unique Keepsakes for Australian Families

Every Uneik memorial piece is individually made and never mass-produced. Our customers across Australia often choose fingerprint pendants, ashes rings, or pawprint charms to honour those who held a special place in their lives.

We craft our pieces in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold, ensuring they become enduring symbols of connection. These are not just accessories; they are personal tokens of memory, warmth, and love that bring comfort to your daily life.

The Art of Meaningful Craftsmanship

Creating meaningful jewellery is as much about the heart as it is about the craft. At Uneik, we use traditional lost-wax techniques to sculpt each design by hand. This ensures that we handle every curve, print, and inclusion with the highest level of care.

Our memorial pieces may mark a life well-lived or a moment of farewell. However, each one also symbolises continuity. They remind us that love endures beyond time and space.

Rings of Love and Remembrance

Our memorial and ashes rings are especially close to the heart for many families. These rings can hold a loved one’s fingerprint or a small portion of ashes within the design itself. The result is a subtle, elegant piece that represents an eternal connection.

Because we shape and cast each ring individually, no two are ever the same. Each ring is a true heirloom—a tactile keepsake filled with sentiment rather than sorrow.

Memorial Pendants: Wearable Stories

Memorial pendants from Uneik Jewellery allow you to keep your loved one close to your heart every day. Whether you choose a fingerprint pendant or a handwriting necklace, each piece tells a story of legacy.

We do not engrave our designs; instead, we sculpt them. This gives every pendant depth, softness, and texture. Consequently, you receive a lasting connection that feels truly personal and unique to your journey.

A Gentle Australian Legacy

We make every Uneik memorial piece by hand with empathy, skill, and respect. Our team considers it a privilege to create such meaningful items for the families we serve across Victoria and the rest of Australia.

Crafted locally and designed to last, our memorial jewellery celebrates the people and memories that shape us.

💛 Ashes Jewellery: A Beautiful Way to Keep Loved Ones Close

At Uneik Jewellery, we understand that love doesn’t end when someone is gone — it simply changes form. Our ashes jewellery is designed to help you hold that connection close, transforming treasured memories into tangible keepsakes that bring comfort and meaning every day.

Each piece is handcrafted in our regional Victorian studio, made individually from scratch using the lost-wax casting technique. With care and respect, we incorporate a small portion of ashes into sterling silver or 9 ct gold, creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake that will last a lifetime.


🌿 What Is Ashes Jewellery?

Ashes jewellery — sometimes called cremation or memorial jewellery — holds a tiny inclusion of a loved one’s or pet’s ashes within the design. At Uneik Jewellery, we gently blend these ashes with care before the metal is poured, ensuring they become a permanent part of the finished piece.

The result is not a surface detail, but a deep, tactile connection — a way to carry those you love wherever you go.


💎 Crafted by Hand, with Love and Respect

We don’t engrave or insert ashes after casting. Instead, every pendant, ring, or charm is created from scratch, incorporating the ashes into the design during its formation. This process gives each piece texture, warmth, and a sense of closeness that can be felt as well as seen.

Our ashes jewellery is available in sterling silver or 9 ct gold, including:

  • Ashes pendants – worn close to the heart, representing eternal love.

  • Ashes rings – elegant, tactile pieces that offer daily comfort.

  • Ashes charms and keepsakes – subtle tokens for those who prefer a smaller design.

We also create ashes pieces for both human and pet ashes, each treated with the same care and dignity.


🕊️ A Comforting Keepsake in Times of Loss

Grief looks different for everyone, but many of our clients say their ashes jewellery becomes a quiet source of comfort — something real to hold onto in moments when words fall short.

Each piece symbolises enduring love, turning remembrance into a beautiful act of connection.


💛 A Legacy of Love

Every Uneik creation is handcrafted to be as lasting as the memories it holds. Because each piece is made individually, your ashes jewellery will always be one of a kind — just like the person or pet it honours.

Our pieces are discreet, elegant, and deeply personal — designed to be worn, cherished, and eventually passed down as a legacy of love.


✨ Crafted in Australia, Made from the Heart

All of our ashes jewellery is handcrafted in regional Victoria, Australia, with sensitivity, precision, and care. By choosing Uneik Jewellery, you’re supporting local craftsmanship and receiving a piece made with genuine respect and empathy.
