If you are visiting this page of our website following the loss of a loved one, our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
When my father passed away, I made pendants for my mother, sister and myself and these are a great source of comfort to us - knowing we can still be close to him by wearing his fingerprint near our heart. Many customers who have bought items in memoriam have said that they have brought great comfort during the months thereafter.
If you wish to have a piece made whereby to remember a loved one, we would be honoured to do this for you. We deal with many enquiries from bereaved parents. If you are reading this page, then perhaps you have recently suffered the loss of a baby or child. Our deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. If you have prints taken by your midwife, email them to us and we will advise if they are suitable to use.
If you still need to take prints, we can mail you a print-taking kit, so that they can be taken as soon as possible. If you do not wish to do them yourself, we are sure your funeral director would not object to doing it for you - we have dealt with many and they are always very helpful.
You may wish to take handprints of the elderly, as sometimes these do work much better than fingerprints. If you are unsure, take both and we can advise which would be better to transfer onto your selected piece. There is no rush to return the impressions or prints to us - we understand that this may be a very difficult time for you. When you are ready to order your pieces, you can choose items from our website or call us to discuss options or ideas you may have.
If you have your own prints, you may choose from the wide selection of pieces in our Little Hands and Feet, or Fingerprints or Pandora-style ranges. We have also now added a new range, Baby Scans, whereby we can transfer your ultra-sound baby scan onto silver pieces.
If you don't have any prints, we do a range of trademark footprint items, called "Faith". Any items can be made up with these footprints, eg charms, cufflinks, pendants etc. Please note, these are generic footprints and not that of your or any other child.
Due to many enquiries for pieces to represent miscarriages, we also designed a piece called "Baby Bean" - this piece represents the baby with heartbeat, forever in the heart of the mother.
We also now have a range of Angel Wings pieces, as well as Forget-me-not. These are very new products and we are still in the process of putting them all onto our website.
Lastly, this range also includes Butterflies, which many associate with baby loss.
If you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us. We make bespoke pieces all the time and are happy and honoured to help you create a lasting memory of your loved one. xx
Even the smallest of feet have the power to leave everlasting footprints upon this world.
