Some jewellers work from a fingerprint impression pushed into soft clay. Items are then cast to include the impression. Other jewellers etch a fingerprint into an item. Most techniques achieve varying results. Our own technique evolved over the last decade. Today we work with inked fingerprints created by our clients <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/fingerprint-engraving-kit-ink-pad-and-papers\">using a special fingerprint jewellery kit<\/a>. When clients place an order, we automatically send out our fingerprint kit with detailed instructions. We scan fingerprints at high definition before digitally refining and enhancing the prints. This process ensures a beautiful, faithful fingerprint for best results. The fingerprint is then laser-engraved onto the surface of the item before going through the final stage of re-polishing.<\/p>\n<h2>The Fingerprint Jewellery Kit<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/fingerprint-engraving-kit-ink-pad-and-papers\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11773 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Fingerprint-kit-landscape-e1519810238283.jpg\" alt=\"Fingerprint wedding ring and jewellery engraving kit\" width=\"850\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/fingerprint-engraving-kit-ink-pad-and-papers\">fingerprint jewellery kit<\/a>, sent out after clients order but available to order separately.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After sending your fingerprints, we go to work on creating a clear fingerprint image that will work beautifully on your completed item of jewellery.

Most noteworthy, the depth of any item must be a minimum of 0.5mm in depth. Wedding rings and pendants are the most popular types of fingerprint jewellery.<\/p>\n<h2>Fingerprint Necklaces and Pendants<\/h2>\n<p>Necklaces and pendants are different terms but mean the same. One of the most effective fingerprint necklaces consists of a clear fingerprint applied to a simple, circular or shaped disk of precious metal. Some of our latest designs include a small, feature diamond, flush set into the design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/pm008-fingerprint-engraved-necklace-diamond-set\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Diamond-Fingerprint-Necklace.jpg\" alt=\"Fingerprint necklace with diamond in a round design\" width=\"850\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Diamond-Fingerprint-Necklace.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Diamond-Fingerprint-Necklace-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Diamond-Fingerprint-Necklace-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Diamond-Fingerprint-Necklace-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Round disk styled necklace engraved with a flush set diamond<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/product\/fingerprint-heart-necklace-diamond\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fingerprint-heart-necklace-with-diamond.jpg\" alt=\"Heart shaped fingerprint pendant with diamond\" width=\"850\" height=\"850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fingerprint-heart-necklace-with-diamond.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fingerprint-heart-necklace-with-diamond-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fingerprint-heart-necklace-with-diamond-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fingerprint-heart-necklace-with-diamond-55x55.jpg 55w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The same theme of fingerprint pendant, flush set on a heart-shaped necklace design<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Fingerprint Rings<\/h2>\n<p>One of our most popular designs is the Fingerprint Ring.
