Gold Prices Are Rising — Here’s Why Personalised Jewellery Is a Timeless Investment

Posted on by Shona

When Gold Prices Rise, So Does the Meaning of What You Wear

In recent months, you may have noticed the conversation everywhere — gold prices are rising, silver prices are climbing, and jewellery costs are changing. For some, this sparks hesitation. At Uneik Jewellery, we see it a little differently.

Because jewellery has never just been about the metal.

It’s about the moment it represents, the story it holds, and the way it quietly becomes part of your life.

Jewellery That Holds More Than Beauty

Gold and silver have always carried value. For centuries, they’ve been trusted, treasured, and passed down through generations. When precious metal prices rise, it reflects something deeper — their enduring worth in a constantly changing world.

When you choose a personalised piece of jewellery, you’re not simply purchasing an accessory. You’re investing in something tangible that carries memory, meaning, and permanence.

A fingerprint.
A handwritten name.
A date that changed everything.

These are not trends. They are milestones.

Why 9ct Gold Still Matters

At Uneik Jewellery, we work exclusively with 9ct gold — not because it follows trends, but because it aligns with real life.

9ct gold is designed to be worn every day. It’s strong, durable, and made to last through the moments that matter most: hands held, children lifted, milestones celebrated. While higher gold prices affect all gold, what remains constant is that gold — in any form — continues to hold intrinsic value over time.

Your jewellery doesn’t just sit in a box. It lives with you. And that is where its true worth grows.

Silver: A Meaningful Alternative

Silver remains a beautiful and meaningful choice, particularly for those starting their jewellery story or layering pieces over time. While its price fluctuates differently to gold, silver still carries timeless appeal and emotional value.

What matters most isn’t choosing the “right” metal — it’s choosing the piece that speaks to your story.

An Investment You Can Feel

Unlike many purchases, personalised jewellery doesn’t lose relevance. As years pass, its meaning deepens. A piece once gifted becomes irreplaceable. A memory once fresh becomes a legacy.

And while rising precious metal prices mean jewellery is worth more today than it once was, the emotional return has always been priceless.

At Uneik Jewellery, we believe in creating pieces that hold their value — both in metal and in meaning.

Because the most valuable jewellery isn’t just what it’s made from.
It’s what it represents.

🖐️ Fingerprint Jewellery Australia: A Keepsake That Carries Love

In the intricate tapestry of life, few things are as personal as touch. A fingerprint is a one-of-a-kind symbol of love and individuality — a pattern that’s entirely your own. At Uneik Jewellery, we transform that personal connection into something tangible through our handcrafted fingerprint jewellery.

Each piece is created with care and compassion in our regional Victorian studio, using the traditional lost-wax casting technique — not engraving or surface etching. The result is a deep, tactile impression that’s part of the metal itself, capturing your loved one’s touch in solid sterling silver or 9 ct gold.

💛 Why Choose Fingerprint Jewellery?

Fingerprint jewellery is far more than a fashion piece. It’s a way to keep those you love close — always. Whether it’s a child’s tiny print, a partner’s fingerprint, or a memorial piece in honour of someone who’s passed, each design is filled with emotion, meaning, and memory.

Our customers often describe Uneik pieces as comforting — a small, touchable reminder of love, life, and connection. Every time you wear it, you carry that bond with you.

🌿 How We Create Your Fingerprint Jewellery

Each Uneik piece is handcrafted from scratch, never mass-produced. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:

  1. We receive your fingerprint (via a print kit, photo, or digital upload).

  2. The print is digitally refined for clarity and layout.

  3. A wax model is sculpted, embedding your print design into its surface.

  4. Using the lost-wax casting process, molten metal replaces the wax, permanently forming your fingerprint within the metal.

  5. The piece is hand-finished — polished, detailed, and inspected for quality.

Because each design is physically cast, not engraved, your loved one’s print becomes a true part of the metal — something you can both see and feel.

🧾 FAQs About Fingerprint Jewellery

Where is the jewellery made?
All Uneik Jewellery pieces are proudly made in Australia, right here in our regional Victorian studio. We support local suppliers and use solid sterling silver and 9 ct gold for lasting quality.

Can I see what it will look like before it’s made?
Yes! We can email you a digital proof layout before casting. Simply request a proof when placing your order.

What types of prints can be used?
We can work with fingerprints, handprints, footprints, or pawprints, from both humans and pets. You can send scanned images, clear photos, or digital files from our inkless print kits.

How long do you keep my prints?
We store digital copies under a coded system (not by name) to protect your privacy, allowing us to reuse them later for matching keepsakes if you wish.

✨ Tips for Collecting Beautiful Fingerprints

Getting a good fingerprint is easy when you know what to look for. Here are our top tips to help you get the best possible print for your keepsake:

🖐️ 1. Use the Right Kit

If you ordered one of our Inkless Print Kits, it includes everything you need: a treated wipe and special paper that develops the print instantly.

  • Always collect the print on a hard surface such as a book or clipboard.

  • The paper is double-sided, so you can use both sides to try multiple prints.

💧 2. Clean and Dry the Skin

Make sure the skin area is clean and dry — moisture or lotion can blur the details. For very young babies, it can help to take prints while they’re sleeping or calm.

👶 3. For Fingerprints

Fold the inkless wipe, gently tap the finger on the wipe, and then press lightly onto the paper for one second.

  • Avoid rolling the finger.

  • Lighter pressure gives better ridge detail.

🦶 4. For Handprints, Footprints, or Pawprints

Unfold the wipe fully and gently wipe the entire surface of the hand, foot, or paw. Then press lightly onto the paper, letting the print develop as you lift away.

  • If working with pets, trim long fur between paw pads for clarity.

  • If you’re unsure, take several prints — we’ll help you choose the best one.

📸 5. Submitting Your Prints

Once you’ve collected your prints:

  • Scan or photograph them clearly in natural light (no shadows).

  • Upload them directly on our product page or email them to us.

  • You can even text a clear photo if that’s easier — just include your order number.

💎 Caring for Your Fingerprint Jewellery

Your Uneik keepsake is made to be worn and cherished, but a little care helps keep it beautiful:

  • Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box when not worn.

  • Avoid chemicals, perfumes, or prolonged moisture exposure.

  • Clean with a soft polishing cloth to maintain shine.

  • For deeper cleaning, use warm soapy water and dry gently — never harsh abrasives.

Because our jewellery has tactile depth, gentle cleaning preserves the beautiful contrast and surface detail of the fingerprint.

❤️ A Connection That Lasts a Lifetime

Your fingerprint jewellery is more than just an accessory — it’s a reminder that love and memory are never lost. Each Uneik piece is made by hand with care, compassion, and respect, capturing the unique lines that make your loved ones who they are.

Proudly handcrafted in regional Victoria, our fingerprint jewellery celebrates the heart behind every story.

🕊️ Ashes Jewellery Australia: A Beautiful Way to Hold Love Close

Love never truly leaves — it simply takes another form. At Uneik Jewellery, we understand that memorials should be as personal as the people (or pets) they honour. That’s why our ashes jewellery is created with care, compassion, and respect — handcrafted from scratch in our regional Victorian studio to become a beautiful connection you can wear and cherish.

Each piece is custom made using a delicate blend of resin and cremation ashes, allowing you to choose how visible or subtle you’d like your ashes to appear. Whether you’re remembering a loved one or a beloved pet, every Uneik piece is designed to hold memory gently, gracefully, and forever.

💛 What Is Ashes Jewellery?

Ashes jewellery (sometimes called memorial or cremation jewellery) holds a small portion of human or pet ashes within a custom piece of jewellery. At Uneik, the ashes are mixed with high-quality resin — not cast into metal — giving each design a beautifully personal look and a finish that’s both elegant and durable.

You can choose from several styles:

  • Ashes pendants – worn close to your heart.

  • Ashes rings – elegant, tactile, and personal.

  • Ashes charms and keyrings – meaningful keepsakes to hold onto daily.

Each piece is made by hand, one at a time, ensuring it truly reflects your loved one’s story.

✨ Your Choice of Style and Finish

We know everyone’s memory is unique — so your keepsake should be too. When personalising your ashes jewellery, you can choose:

🌈 Ashes Visibility Options

  • Transparent finish: the ashes are softly visible, showing gentle textures and patterns that feel organic and natural.

  • Opaque finish: the ashes are hidden behind a solid colour, giving a private, subtle appearance for those who prefer discretion.

💎 Opal Enhancements

For a touch of radiance and symbolism, you can add Australian opal fragments to the resin.

  • Choose a light sprinkling for a delicate shimmer, or

  • A heavier addition for a vibrant, galaxy-like effect.
    The opals catch the light beautifully, symbolising hope and eternal connection.

Each choice creates a truly unique piece — no two will ever look the same.

🐾 Pet Ashes Jewellery

Our pet ashes jewellery honours the love and companionship of your furry (or feathered) family members.
From pawprint pendants to ashes rings, each piece celebrates their unconditional love and presence in your life.

Many customers choose to combine their pet’s ashes with a soft colour tint or opal shimmer — a gentle reminder of their spirit that shines on.

🌿 The Uneik Creation Process

  1. Consultation and Design – We work with you to choose your jewellery type, colour, and finish.

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

  3. Blending with Resin – The ashes are carefully mixed into the resin by hand, optionally with opals or colour enhancements.

  4. Setting and Sealing – The resin is added to your custom pendant, ring, or charm and set under controlled conditions.

  5. Final Finishing – Your piece is hand-polished and inspected before being photographed and packaged.

Every Uneik ashes piece includes production photos showing the delicate process of incorporating the ashes into your jewellery — a meaningful way to share in the creation of your keepsake.

🕯️ How We Handle Your Ashes

We understand the emotional weight of sending ashes. Every parcel is handled with the utmost respect, privacy, and care.

  • Only a small amount (around one teaspoon) is required.

  • Any unused ashes are safely returned with your finished piece.

  • Each stage is done by hand in our Victorian studio — never outsourced.

We treat every creation as an honour and privilege.

💎 Caring for Your Ashes Jewellery

To ensure your Uneik piece stays as beautiful as the memory it represents:

  • Avoid submerging in water (remove before swimming, bathing, or heavy cleaning).

  • Store in a soft jewellery pouch or box when not worn.

  • Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth — no harsh chemicals.

  • Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve resin clarity.

With simple care, your ashes jewellery will remain a lasting keepsake for years to come.

❤️ A Forever Connection

Each Uneik ashes piece is made by hand, with love and empathy, right here in regional Victoria, Australia. Whether it holds the ashes of a loved one or a beloved pet, it’s more than jewellery — it’s a story of love, life, and remembrance, captured forever in a wearable work of art.

💎 Why Choose a Fingerprint Bracelet

Unlike mass-produced or laser-engraved jewellery, each Uneik fingerprint bracelet is created from scratch using the lost-wax casting technique.

Every bracelet is handmade in our regional Victoria studio, using solid sterling silver or 9ct gold. When you choose Uneik Jewellery, you’re not just buying a bracelet — you’re supporting Australian craftsmanship and creating a piece that will last a lifetime.

✨ Caring for Your Silver Bracelet

To keep your bracelet beautiful, store it in a soft pouch or jewellery box, away from moisture and chemicals. Gently polish with a silver cloth to restore its shine. With the right care, your Uneik fingerprint bracelet will age gracefully — developing a soft patina that only adds to its story.

💛 A Touch of Forever

Your fingerprint is unlike anyone else’s — and your jewellery should be too.
A handcrafted fingerprint bracelet from Uneik Jewellery captures love, life, and memory in solid silver — a connection you can truly feel.

💛 Memorial Jewellery in 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 — meaningful keepsakes that turn love and remembrance into something you can hold close.

Each piece is handcrafted from scratch in our regional Victorian studio, created with compassion and care using the lost-wax casting technique. Whether it’s a fingerprint pendant, an ashes ring, or a piece featuring your loved one’s handwriting or pawprint, every design is made individually to celebrate a life, a bond, and a memory.

🌿 Eternalising Cherished Memories

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

Each piece is personal — whether it holds fingerprints, hand or footprints, ashes, or handwriting. These details are not engraved or added later; they’re incorporated into the metal before casting, creating a tactile surface that can be felt as much as seen.

This process ensures that your keepsake carries both beauty and genuine emotional depth — a lasting tribute made to be treasured forever.

💎 Unique Keepsakes for Loved Ones

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

Crafted in solid sterling silver or 9 ct gold, these keepsakes become enduring symbols of connection. They’re not just jewellery — they’re personal tokens of memory, warmth, and love that bring comfort each day.

🕊️ The Art of Meaningful Jewellery

Creating meaningful jewellery is as much about heart as it is about craft. At Uneik, we use traditional lost-wax techniques to sculpt each design by hand — ensuring that every curve, print, and inclusion is handled with care.

Our memorial pieces may mark a life well lived, a special relationship, or a moment of farewell — but each one also symbolises continuity, reminding 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 eternal connection — a daily reminder of someone you never stop carrying with you.

Each ring is shaped and cast individually, ensuring no two are ever the same. It’s a true heirloom — a tactile keepsake filled with sentiment, not sorrow.

✨ Memorial Pendants: Wearable Stories

Memorial pendants from Uneik Jewellery allow you to keep your loved one close to your heart, every day. Whether it’s a fingerprint pendant, ashes pendant, or handwriting necklace, each one tells a story of love, life, and legacy.

We don’t engrave our designs; we sculpt them. This gives every pendant depth, softness, and texture — a lasting connection that feels truly personal.

💛 A Gentle Legacy

Every Uneik memorial piece is made by hand, with empathy, skill, and respect. We consider it a privilege to create something so meaningful for the families we serve.

Crafted in Australia, made with love, and designed to last — our memorial jewellery is a celebration of 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.
