Fingerprint pendants on a Leave Your Mark card

The Imprint Ritual

A signature, made permanent

A fingerprint is the most personal signature there is. We capture your mark, or the mark of someone you love, and transform it into a signet or pendant designed to be worn for life.

Two ways to leave your mark

Wax imprint, cast in metalPress your fingerprint into soft wax in studio. We cast it through the traditional lost-wax process, keeping every organic detail. One of a kind.
Digital imprint, engravedWe scan your fingerprint in studio, or you send it to us, and engrave it with crisp precision. Clean, graphic and ideal for remote orders.

Not just a gift. A signature made permanent.
