HANDPRINT & FOOTPRINT JEWELLERY - CAPTURE A CHILDHOOD MOMENT

Childhood is filled with tiny, beautiful moments — pudgy little hands reaching for yours, chubby little feet, and the comforting feeling of a small hand wrapped around your finger. But time really does fly as a parent, and those little hands and feet don’t stay little for long.

At Hold Upon Heart, we understand how quickly childhood passes. We already have 3 six-foot teenagers, who we swear were tiny babies only yesterday. That’s why handprint and footprint jewellery for parents is such a treasured keepsake, a permanent reminder of your child’s early years.

Why Handprint and Footprint Jewellery is so special

Every child’s handprint and footprint is completely unique. The delicate lines, the tiny curves, the last minute shuffle of little fingers or toes. The size that once fit perfectly in your palm captured as a moment in time that can never be recreated. While photographs often stay on phones or in albums, baby handprint jewellery is something tangible and precious that you can wear close to your heart every day. A daily reminder of love, connection, and those so very special early years that shape your family’s story.

A Keepsake That Grows in Meaning

Handprint and Footprint jewellery often begins as a sentimental gift, but over time it becomes even more meaningful. Years later, when those tiny hands are no longer small, when those tiny feet are size 11's that you trip over, your jewellery becomes a powerful reminder of just how little they once were.

The Perfect Gift for Mums and Dads

Handprint and Footprint Charms, Necklaces, Bracelets and Cufflinks, all make deeply meaningful gifts, perfect for new parents, Grandparents, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, Christenings or Memorials. Each piece is lovingly hand made to order using your child's unique prints, making this so much more than just jewellery.  We have a wide collection of designs all perfect for showcasing your precious prints, you can browse our handprint and footprint jewellery collection here.

How Handprint and Footprint Jewellery is made

Creating handprint jewellery is simpler than many parents expect. All we need is a handprint from your child, which we then carefully transform into a beautiful handmade piece of jewellery. We can work with prints you may already have, prints taken in paint, or more inventive prints captured in water or snow for example. Alternatively we can provide a safe, non-toxic and completely mess-free print kit so you can take really detailed handprints at home. At Hold Upon Heart, we take care to preserve the tiny detail that makes your child's handprint unique. You can find out more here.

A Memory You Can Always Hold Onto

Children grow — that’s part of life, and childhood flies by faster than you think possible. Handprint and Footprint jewellery allows parents to capture a moment in time and remember how small their hands hand feet once were and how deeply loved they always are. Because while childhood is fleeting, love is permanent. And sometimes, the smallest prints leave the biggest marks on our hearts.
