Organic Fingerprint Necklace Kit
100% Recycled Metal
Solid Gold or Silver, Never Plated
Handmade in the UK
Made in up to 4 weeks
Chain included
Our Organic Fingerprint Necklace Kit celebrates the fact that no two patterns in nature are ever the same; from tree rings to fingerprints, each one tells its own story. Capture your imprint in wax, ready to be crafted into something that's entirely yours.
How does it work? We'll send you two pieces of wax, which, with our guidance, you'll press your finger into to create your pendant imprint. Simply return them to us, and we'll cast the best one in your chosen recycled metal. After polishing, optional engraving, and stringing onto a chain, your bespoke fingerprint necklace will be on its way back to you.
Detailed instructions will be enclosed within your kit, and can also be found below. You'll also gain access to our dedicated how-to page, accessible via QR code on the informational booklet.
Please note this product (kit and final necklace) is only available for delivery to UK addresses.

Make your mark
The rings inside a tree trunk record years of growth, seasons of change, and a life lived in the landscape.
Human fingerprints carry the same kind of individuality. They are organic patterns shaped over time, and no two are the same.
Our Organic Fingerprint Necklace Kit honours the patterns in nature that are entirely unique, and the distinctive connection between them.
We all leave our mark on the world.
Choosing consciously helps ensure yours is a positive one.
Our jewellery has always been rooted in nature, crafted from recycled precious metals and inspired by the shapes and patterns of the natural world.
How it Works
Prepare your impression
Lay out the wax and protective paper on a flat surface.
If your hands are cold, gently warm them by rubbing them together
Soften & shape the wax
Warm the wax between your palms into a ball shape for 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
Smooth the surface lightly to remove any cracks or creases.
Capture your fingerprint
Press your finger firmly and evenly into the centre of the wax. Keep steady pressure for 3 seconds. Lift straight up without twisting, rocking or rolling.
You should see clear ridge detail in the wax.
Securely package your imprint
Once you're happy with your imprint, allow the wax to fully cool and firm.
Pour some cool water into both tins (about halfway). This helps prevent the wax from melting in transit.
Place both impressions into their protective tins, which contain water.
Finishing touches & send back to us
Secure the tins back in their slots in the box.
Fill in the short form so we can identify your imprint when it reaches us.
Post back using the enclosed return label.
Over to us
When we receive your imprints, we'll cast the best one in your chosen metal.
We'll then buff, polish and finish your pendant in our London workshop, attaching the bail and stringing through a chain.
It's then packed in our signature plastic-free packaging and sent back to you.
Receive your new one-of-a-kind necklace
Your one-of-a-kind fingerprint necklace will arrive at your door, ready to wear and treasure, or gift to a loved one.
A beautiful, sustainable piece made by you and us that you'll never want to take off.
Helpful tips & FAQ
How can I get the best imprint?
Ensure your hands are clean and dry before taking your impression for the best result.
Make sure the wax is soft and pliable before taking your impression.
If it feels firm, warm it slightly and try again.
How firmly should I press on the wax?
Avoid pressing the wax too firmly, as flattening the impression can affect how well it casts.
If the wax becomes translucent or transparent, this means too much pressure has been applied. Simply warm it up again and try once more.
Can I imprint a baby or child fingerprint?
Yes, the wax we use is baby and child safe.
With very young babies, fingerprints can be softer and less defined, so you may capture more of the finger’s shape rather than clear lines.
For older children, you can apply slightly firmer pressure to help pick up more detail.
Why do you send 2 pieces of wax?
Each kit will create one pendant, but we include 2 pieces of wax.
One will act as a backup, and we will choose the best one to cast.
Simply repeat the same steps with the second ball of wax and return both impressions to us in the separate tins provided.
Please do not combine your wax balls, as these have been carefully weighed. If combined, we may need to get in touch with a quote to cover the difference.
How long does the process take?
After placing your order, your kit will be with you within 4 working days.
Once we receive your imprints back at our workshop, you can expect to receive your finished piece within approximately 4 weeks.
Does the kit have an expiry date?
Please return your imprints to us within 6 months of receiving your kit.
Can I combine the 2 pieces of wax to make a bigger pendant?
No - Please do not combine your balls of wax, as these have been carefully weighed to create a pendant the size you have paid for.
If combined, we may need to get in touch with a quote to cover the difference.
