Thoughtfully designed for him, this Fingerprint Dog Tag necklace is a powerful piece of memorial jewellery, crafted in sterling silver or solid gold. It captures your loved one’s unique fingerprint forever, creating a deeply personal tribute to keep close. The front of the tag can be personalised with a single fingerprint and name, while the back may be engraved with a meaningful message or your loved one’s own handwriting—transforming their words into a lasting, heartfelt keepsake.
Please note: Print kits and chains can be added at additional cost below.
We can work with fingerprints you already have, or with fingerprints taken at home using a pencil and sticky tape - follow the instructions below:
Alternatively you may choose our simple ink fingerprint kit (recommended for memorial prints or very young children). Scroll down to add a kit to your cart.
Each print is carefully resized to fit your jewellery, allowing us to work with prints from babies aged 6 months and over, through to adults.
Once you have your fingerprint, simply take a clear close-up photo and email it to studio@holduponheart.co.uk, including your order number and name. We’ll confirm receipt and begin creating your piece.
This design can feature a name on the front, and a personalised message on the back. Choose your preferred font from the options shown below, or provide your own handwritten message to be engraved.
For handwritten messages, its best to limit the message on the back to 4-5 words max to ensure legibility of the engraving.
Each piece is handmade to order by our goldsmith, Melanie, who has over a decade of experience creating memorial and fingerprint jewellery. Our stated making time is an estimate from the date we receive your fingerprints and may vary during busy periods.
If you need your order by a specific date within the estimated timeframe, please let us know in the “note to the studio” box at check-out and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Once your jewellery is ready to dispatch, we’ll email to let you know. All orders are sent with signature required on delivery.
