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

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 feel as personal as touch. A fingerprint serves as a one-of-a-kind symbol of love and individuality. Because every pattern is entirely unique, it tells a story that is yours alone. At Uneik Jewellery, we transform this personal connection into something tangible through our handcrafted fingerprint jewellery.

We create each piece with care and compassion in our regional Victorian studio. Unlike many others, we use the traditional lost-wax casting technique rather than simple engraving. As a result, you receive a deep, tactile impression that becomes part of the metal itself. This process captures your loved one’s touch in solid sterling silver or 9ct gold.

Why Choose Fingerprint Jewellery?

Fingerprint jewellery is far more than a fashion statement; it is a way to keep your loved ones close at all times. Whether you want to celebrate a child’s tiny print, a partner’s bond, or a memorial piece for someone who has passed, these designs carry immense emotion.

Our customers often describe Uneik pieces as comforting reminders of life and connection. Every time you wear your jewellery, you carry that unbreakable bond with you.

How We Create Your Fingerprint Jewellery

We handcraft every Uneik piece from scratch because we believe memories should never be mass-produced. Here is a look at what happens behind the scenes:

  • Step 1: We receive your fingerprint via a print kit, photo, or digital upload.

  • Step 2: Our team digitally refines the print to ensure clarity and a beautiful layout.

  • Step 3: We sculpt a wax model and embed your unique design into its surface.

  • Step 4: Using the lost-wax casting process, molten metal replaces the wax. This permanently forms the fingerprint within the metal.

  • Step 5: Finally, we hand-finish, polish, and inspect the piece for quality.

Because we physically cast each design, the print becomes a true part of the jewellery. Therefore, you can both see and feel the ridges of the fingerprint.

FAQs About Fingerprint Jewellery

Where is the jewellery made? We proudly make all Uneik Jewellery pieces in Australia at our regional Victorian studio. We support local suppliers and use high-quality solid sterling silver and 9ct gold.

Can I see a preview before you make it? Yes! We can email you a digital proof layout before we begin the casting process. Simply request a proof when you place your order.

What types of prints can I use? We work with fingerprints, handprints, footprints, or pawprints. You can send us 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 secure, coded system to protect your privacy. This allows us to reuse them later if you wish to order matching keepsakes.

Tips for Collecting Beautiful Fingerprints

Getting a clear fingerprint is easy when you follow a few simple steps. Use these tips to ensure your keepsake captures every detail:

  1. Use the Right Kit: Our Inkless Print Kits include a treated wipe and special paper. Always collect the print on a hard surface, such as a clipboard, to keep the paper steady.

  2. Clean the Skin: Make sure the skin is clean and dry. Since moisture or lotion can blur the details, ensure the area is completely dry before starting.

  3. Use Light Pressure: When taking fingerprints, avoid rolling the finger. Instead, press lightly for just one second. Lighter pressure usually results in better ridge detail.

  4. Capture Pets and Infants: For pets, trim any long fur between the paw pads. For babies, it is often easiest to take prints while they are sleeping.

  5. Submit Clearly: Photograph your prints in natural light without shadows. You can upload them directly to our website or email them to us with your order number.

Caring for Your Fingerprint Jewellery

Your Uneik keepsake is durable, but a little care goes a long way. To keep it beautiful, store it in a soft pouch when you aren’t wearing it. You should also avoid exposing the metal to harsh chemicals or perfumes. To maintain the shine, simply clean it with a soft polishing cloth or warm, soapy water.

A Connection That Lasts a Lifetime

Your jewellery is more than an accessory; it is a reminder that love and memory are never lost. We make every piece with respect and care, capturing the unique lines that define your family.

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.

Our fingerprint bracelets, handcrafted in sterling silver, are meaningful keepsakes that let you carry those you love with you every day. Whether it’s a partner, child, or someone remembered, these bracelets turn touch into timeless treasure.


💎 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. The fingerprint is carefully incorporated into the design before the silver is poured, creating a deep, tactile impression you can feel with your fingertips.

This handcrafted process ensures every piece is completely unique — a genuine reflection of the person whose print it holds. It’s jewellery with emotion built in.


🌿 Styles Loved in Australia

Our silver fingerprint bracelets are available in elegant link-chain and cuff styles, suitable for both men and women. Many customers pair them with fingerprint pendants or keyrings to create a complete keepsake set.

Each bracelet can also feature names, initials or short inscriptions, carefully added to complement the fingerprint. The result: a balanced mix of meaning and style.


❤️ A Gift with Lasting Meaning

Fingerprint bracelets make heartfelt gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, or memorial occasions. They’re also deeply comforting remembrance pieces, allowing you to hold a loved one’s touch close at all times.

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

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.
