Elaine got in touch via a recommendation from a friend (thank you, Niamh 🥰). Elaine wanted to know if it was possible to engrave the fingerprint of each of her two children. This type of engraving was a first for me and I was really excited to see how the precious little fingerprints would translate onto precious metal.

Capturing the fingerprints digitally, Elaine then sent a photo of each to me via a DM. She chose the gorgeous buttery yellow of the 18ct gold Signature Envelope Necklace and added a Signature Slip - a Slip for each fingerprint engraving. On the reverse side I engraved the name and D.O.B of each child.
