Valentine’s
No sooner have we packed away the twinkling lights and baubles. The remnants of paper hats and Christmas Cracker trinkets huddled together in a corner as if hiding from the vacuum or broom, and it’s time for Valentine’s Day already. Yes, we are well into 2022, and with that, a fresh new sense of hope and optimism.
So, what do you think of when you hear about Valentine's Day? For most of us, heart-shaped chocolate boxes spring to mind along with long-stem red roses and maybe a bottle of fizz to celebrate. That’s pretty much the norm, and that’s okay. There’s certainly nothing wrong with traditional favourites; they’re familiar, cosy and easy to do.
We love being in love, but we also know that there’s a lot to be said for the love of family, friends and even pets. Of course, this doesn’t intend to discount those with a significant other; it’s just that there’s no better time to let someone know how you feel. So, acknowledging love, romantic or not, deserves its place in the spotlight too.
Without further ado, let’s dive in. By the way, we’re not going to give you a lesson on the origin of Valentine’s Day, but if you’re a romantic like me, you might fancy reading up on it here.
Fine fingerprint jewellery - a Valentine’s Day gift to love
Being goldsmiths ourselves, we naturally love jewellery, and this is the perfect time to give a personal and unique gift that will stand the test of time and be cherished for generations to come. Our speciality is fine fingerprint jewellery that we make in our studio in The Cotswolds using techniques with a raw aesthetic and sustainable materials. Handcrafted and one of a kind, every piece is made using sterling silver or solid gold.
If you so wish, the original fingerprint necklace in 9ct or 18ct yellow gold, or sterling silver, comes with a chain, 18" or 20" or without. The pendant is a complete fingerprint impression, designed to be worn every day and along with other charms too. There are three sizes to choose from, mini 10 - 14 mm, small 15 - 18 mm and original 18 - 22 mm. As each piece is handmade and each fingerprint is different, measurements are approximate.
Our range has expanded beyond the fingerprint pendant to include birthstones, fingerprint tokens and rings. As they're created in the same style, the birthstones perfectly complement the fingerprint pendants and can be coupled with one or several or worn on their own.
The fun begins with the impression kit that can also be sent as a gift - it's a simple yet effective process. And, it’s done right in the comfort of your home, which makes it memorable. Each kit comes with everything you need to make a perfect impression, a visual guide and easy to follow instructions on using the compound. You can even use your pets paw or nose print for a unique pet print pendant. The magic happens back in our studio upon receiving your impression kit. The process doesn't happen overnight as we diligently work alone on each piece to ensure complete satisfaction every time.

From one romantic to another, we hope this Valentine’s Day and the year ahead brings you much love and joy in abundance.
