A Memory to Last a Lifetime: Turning Your Pet’s Pawprint into Cherished Jewellery
At Silverbean Jewellery, I know that pets are more than just animals; they are family members, companions, and friends who bring joy and comfort into our lives. What better way to honour the special bond you share than by creating a piece of jewellery that captures their unique essence? My pawprint jewellery transforms your pet's pawprint into a beautiful, lasting memory that you can carry with you wherever you go. Here’s a look at how I turn that precious pawprint into a timeless piece of jewellery.
Step 1: Capturing the Perfect Pawprint
The journey to creating your custom pawprint jewellery begins with capturing your pet’s pawprint. This process is simple, safe, and can be done right in the comfort of your own home. Here's how:
1. I will provide a print kit with your order, which has detailed instructions. The kit is very simple and involves wiping a special wipe over the selected area and pressing onto the paper included in the pack. There’s no mess involved and the whole process takes just seconds. From these prints I create an impression mould to make the jewellery.
2. Get Your Pet Comfortable:** Make sure your pet is calm and relaxed. You might want to have some treats handy to keep them happy during the process.
3. Press the Paw Gently:** Gently press the paw onto the piece of paper, applying even pressure to get a clear print. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect on the first try; you can always do it again. Don't worry if some of your fingerprints end up on the paper - I can take these out when I scan them in.
Step 2: Sending the Pawprint to Silverbean Jewellery
After you’ve captured the perfect pawprint, it’s time to send it my way. You can do this by either mailing the physical copy or scanning the print and sending it via email, or take a photo of the prints. I recommend a high-resolution if you choose the digital route, as it ensures I capture every detail of the pawprint.
Step 3: Creating Your Custom Pawprint Jewellery
Once I receive your pet’s pawprint, the magic begins. I carefully transform the print into a beautiful piece of jewellery. Here’s how:
1. Designing the Mould:** I start by creating a mould of your pet’s pawprint. This mould will serve as the foundation for your custom piece. I take great care to preserve the intricate details of the pawprint, ensuring that the final product is as accurate as possible.
2. Crafting the Jewellery:** After the mould is complete, I begin the process of crafting your jewellery. Whether you’ve chosen a pendant, charm, bracelet, cufflinks or keyring, I work with high-quality precious metal clay in fine silver to create a piece that’s both beautiful and durable.
3. Finishing Touches:** Once the jewellery is crafted, I add any final touches. This might include engraving your pet’s name, adding gemstones, or polishing the piece to a perfect shine. Each piece is inspected thoroughly to ensure it meets my high standards.
Step 4: A Memory to Treasure Forever
After the crafting process is complete, your custom pawprint jewellery is carefully packaged and shipped to you. When you open the box, you’ll find a beautiful piece that not only looks stunning but also holds a deep, personal significance. It’s more than just jewellery; it’s a memory, a piece of your heart that you can carry with you always.
At Silverbean Jewellery, I believe that the love we share with our pets is everlasting, and my pawprint jewellery is a way to keep that love close, even when your furry friend is not physically by your side. Whether it’s a reminder of the puppy years, a way to honour a beloved pet who has passed, or simply a token of the special bond you share, my pawprint jewellery is a memory to last a lifetime.
