Pawprint jewellery transforms your pet’s real pawprint into a beautifully wearable keepsake. Every print is completely individual, and we carefully prepare and engrave the pawprint into precious metal to preserve its character in miniature form.
Whether created to celebrate a beloved companion or as a memorial piece, pawprint jewellery offers a subtle and lasting tribute.
Pet memorial ashes jewellery is designed to hold a small, symbolic portion of your pet’s cremation ashes within a beautifully crafted piece of jewellery. The ashes are carefully and permanently set within the design, creating a subtle yet deeply meaningful way to honour and remember a beloved companion.
We offer several collections, each incorporating ashes in different ways. Every piece is individually handcrafted and carefully finished, resulting in an enduring and truly unique keepsake.
All we need is a clear photograph of your pet’s paw pad, easily taken on your mobile phone. In our experience, this is often simpler and less stressful for both pet and owner than trying to capture a full ink print using a kit.
We can also work from a pawprint image you already have. If you’d like to get creative, we’re often able to work from pawprints left in sand, snow, or even water on a paving stone — provided the detail is clear.
If you would prefer to use a kit, you can purchase one of our handprint kits, which also works perfectly for capturing pawprints.
Although this collection shows our most popular styles, a pawprint can be engraved onto many designs within our Handprint Jewellery range and any of our Memorial Ashes Jewellery designs can be made using pet cremation ashes. If you have a particular style in mind, simply get in touch and we will be happy to advise.
Our pawprint jewellery and pet memorial jewellery is available in:
All solid gold pawprint jewellery is independently hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office, guaranteeing purity and quality. Sterling silver jewellery is hallmarked when above 7.78 grams, although we can easily arrange for any silver piece to be hallmarked if required.

Established in 2012, our silver & gold pawprint jewellery is handcrafted in the UK by an experienced goldsmith. Each piece is made with care and attention, and we’ve created meaningful keepsakes for thousands of satisfied customers.

Your pets pawprint is permanently transferred to precious metal using precision laser engraving, ensuring lasting depth and clarity, so your print will not fade with wear.

Many of our designs can be personalised with your own handwriting at no extra cost, creating a truly unique and deeply sentimental keepsake.

We use recycled silver and gold wherever possible, and all of our packaging is thoughtfully designed to be eco-friendly.
You can upload a clear photograph or scan of a paw or a pawprint when placing your order, or e-mail your prints to studio@holduponheart.co.uk
Yes. We can use pawprints you may already have, or can work with photos of prints captured in snow, sane or water.
Yes. We carefully and sympathetically enhance pawprint to achieve the clearest possible result, while always remaining true to the original print provided.
We will tidy obvious smudges or hair and claw marks where needed. Preserving the authenticity and character of your pet's original print is always our priority.
If you are unsure about the quality of your print, you are very welcome to send it to us for guidance before placing your order.
For sterling silver jewellery, you can choose either a darkened (oxidised) print or a polished silver finish. Simply let us know your preference in the Order Notes box at checkout.
Our preference is usually for polished silver prints, and most of our products are pictured this way. If a design is shown with a darkened print, that is what you should expect to receive unless you request a polished finish instead.
For gold jewellery, prints cannot be darkened and will always have a polished finish.
For stainless steel jewellery, we create a silvery-white engraving designed to catch the light. The appearance may shift subtly between lighter and darker tones depending on how the light reflects on the surface.
Yes. We use advanced, high-spec laser technology to permanently engrave pawprints into silver and gold. This process creates a deep, precise engraving that will not fade or wear away over time, provided your jewellery is treated with normal care. To keep your piece looking its best, we simply recommend following our common-sense jewellery care guidance.
Unlike surface engraving methods that only mark the top layer of metal, our laser technology removes metal using a highly focused beam, creating exceptional depth and clarity. The result is a detailed, permanent engraving that is comparable in depth — and often deeper — than traditional impression techniques.
Our jewellery is crafted from hard-rolled precious metals, or traditionally cast where appropriate, ensuring strength and durability. This means your pawprint engraving is made to last.
Yes. We can incorporate hair insted of ashes in any of the designs in our ENCAPTURED collection and select designs in our UNDER THE STONE collection.
Our handmade pawprint jewellery is available in sterling silver and solid 9ct or 18ct gold, including yellow, rose, and white gold options. Most metal options are already priced on the site, but if not simply contact us for a quote. We also offer a carefully curated collection of engraved stainless steel pawprint jewellery.
