You may have heard the term fingerprint jewellery being mentioned recently. When I first heard the term I was not sure exactly what it was. Therefore curiosity got the better of me and I did some research online. I quickly found out that fingerprint jewellery is a term for jewellery items that either contains a replica fingerprint or a footprint of a loved one.As soon as I saw it, I was hooked. I began looking online for the prettiest fingerprint jewellery. That is when I discovered the company Hold Upon Heart.
Who are Hold Upon Heart?
Hold Upon Heart create fingerprint and handprint jewellery which is made using sterling silver clay. Silver clay is made from tiny particles of silver held together with a binder, which when fired at a high temperature transforms into solid sterling silver. Unlike cast silver, the clay gives a more organic look to the designs. They are not geometrically perfect, but unique, beautiful and shiny. That is why the style is so suited to sentimental, keepsake jewellery that captures your prints and your hearts.
The Hold Upon Heart jewellery studio is located in a beautiful Shropshire village and all the gorgeous fingerprint and handprint jewellery is personally handcrafted by Melanie and Jeff. They are also mum and dad to three gorgeous boys. This is in every sense a family business, Hold upon Heart offers truly personal customer service.
What Did I Order From Hold Upon Heart?
I was shopping for Christmas presents when I came across Hold Upon Heart. I did not want to get my Mother the same old gift of bubble bath so way looking for a unique and sentimental present. As aforementioned, somebody mentioned the idea of fingerprint jewellery. I did a quick Google search and Hold Upon Heart was one of the companies that came up. I was impressed by the quality of their work, plus the prices were really affordable for the intricate pieces too.
The piece of fingerprint jewellery that I ordered was this key ring. It has the three names and handprints of my three children on it. I know my mother will love this piece and treasure it. The Hold Upon Heart team were really great with communication and my children had great fun supplying their hand prints too! They send some “magic” paper and a “magic” wipe which you use to easily capture your print with no fuss and no mess.
For fingerprints, Hold Upon Hard send mess-free silicone putty to make a mould from which we can take a cast of the fingerprint. This captures the fine detail of the finger as well as the shape and curve of the finger. The kit contains enough material to make 2 fingerprint moulds. You can order extra kits if necessary.
The Hold Upon Heart range includes necklaces, bracelets, rings and gifts for him too. Visit the site to explore all of the options available.
