Solid Gold Necklaces with a Personalised Fingerprint
Keeping Them Close to Your Heart
There's something powerful about wearing a necklace. It sits close to your heart, moves with you throughout the day, becomes part of how you present yourself to the world. When that necklace carries the fingerprint of someone you love, it transforms into something even more meaningful.
A fingerprint necklace isn't just jewellery. It's a physical connection to another person, captured in solid gold and worn against your skin. It's a way of keeping someone close, literally and figuratively, no matter where you are or what you're facing.
I founded SÓLINA to create jewellery that carries real meaning, and our Imprint collection is the work I'm most proud of. I wear my four kids' fingerprints on two Imprint necklaces. They're the pieces I never take off, the ones I reach for when I need to feel connected to my children. When I trace those tiny lines and whorls with my fingers, I'm touching a part of them, even when they're not beside me.
That's what a fingerprint necklace does. It makes love tangible. It turns connection into something you can hold.
Why Fingerprint Necklaces Are So Special
Fingerprints are utterly unique. No two people in the entire world share the same print. When you wear someone's fingerprint around your neck, you're carrying something that belongs to them alone, something that can never be replicated.
For mothers, wearing your child's fingerprint is incredibly powerful. Whether she's a baby, a teenager, or grown with her own family, her print connects you to her always. You carry a piece of her with you, close to your heart, through every moment of your day.
For daughters, wearing your mother's or grandmother's fingerprint creates a bond that spans generations. It's a reminder of where you came from, who shaped you, who loved you into existence. It's particularly meaningful if you've lost someone, but it's just as powerful while they're still here.
For godmothers, sisters, grandmothers, and anyone else who loves a young girl deeply, a fingerprint necklace says: you matter to me, your presence in my life is irreplaceable, I carry you with me always.
And because they're made from solid gold, these necklaces last forever. Just like the love they represent.
Beautiful Fingerprint Necklace Styles in Solid Gold
At SÓLINA, I design Imprint jewellery with real relationships in mind. I'm a mother of four, and I understand what it means to want to carry your children or your loved ones with you. Here are the fingerprint necklace styles that work beautifully.
Disc Pendants: A circular gold disc with a fingerprint engraved on one side is classic and elegant. The disc can be small and delicate or larger and more substantial, depending on your preference. Disc pendants work beautifully layered with other necklaces or worn alone as a statement piece.
Oval or Teardrop Pendants: An oval or teardrop-shaped pendant provides a beautiful canvas for a fingerprint. The elongated shape is flattering and feminine, and it allows the print to be displayed prominently. These pendants feel timeless and sophisticated.
Heart-Shaped Pendants: A heart pendant with a fingerprint is deeply romantic and sentimental. It's perfect for mothers wearing their children's prints, or for anyone who wants to express that the person whose print they carry holds their heart. Heart pendants are sweet without being overly sentimental, especially when crafted in solid gold.
Bar Pendants: A horizontal or vertical gold bar with a fingerprint engraved along its length is modern and minimalist. Bar necklaces are currently popular, and adding a fingerprint makes them deeply personal. They layer beautifully with other necklaces and work for any style.
Multiple Fingerprint Pendants: If you want to carry more than one person's print, you can wear multiple pendants on the same chain or on separate chains layered together. I wear two Imprint necklaces with my four kids' fingerprints distributed across both. This allows you to keep everyone close while creating a beautiful, personalized collection.
Double-Sided Pendants: Some pendants can be engraved on both sides, allowing you to carry two fingerprints on one piece. This is perfect if you want to keep your children together, or if you want one side for yourself and one side for another loved one.
Locket-Style Pendants: While not traditional lockets, some fingerprint pendants can be designed with a hinged element or a space inside. This combines the intimacy of a fingerprint with the classic sentimentality of a locket, creating a piece that's layered with meaning.
Creating Layered Fingerprint Collections
One of the beautiful things about fingerprint necklaces is how they layer. You can start with one pendant carrying one child's print, then add another as your family grows. Each necklace tells part of your story, and together they create a complete picture of the people who matter most.
Layering also allows you to mix fingerprint necklaces with other meaningful pieces. A fingerprint pendant paired with a name necklace, a birthstone charm, or a simple gold chain creates depth and personal style while keeping the focus on what matters: the connections you're celebrating.
Who Should Wear Fingerprint Necklaces?
Fingerprint necklaces work beautifully for anyone, at any age, for any relationship that matters.
Mothers: Wearing your child's fingerprint around your neck is one of the most intimate ways to stay connected. Many mothers start with one fingerprint necklace and add more as their family grows, creating a collection that represents everyone they love.
Daughters: A necklace with your mother's or grandmother's fingerprint becomes a family treasure. It connects you to the women who came before you, and it's something you can pass down to your own daughter one day.
Grandmothers: Wearing your grandchildren's fingerprints keeps them close, even across distance. It's a beautiful way to celebrate the legacy you're creating and the love that connects generations.
Godmothers: A fingerprint necklace with your goddaughter's print honors the commitment you made to be part of her life. It's a reminder of that sacred bond every single day.
Sisters and Close Relationships: Carrying your sister's fingerprint, or having her carry yours, creates a tangible connection. It says: we're bonded, no matter what, no matter where life takes us.
Creating Your Fingerprint Necklace
Once you order, you'll receive an Imprint Wax Kit with everything needed to capture the print—including instructions via QR code and a prepaid return satchel. Simply take the impression and send it back to our Sydney workshop.
If time is tight, you can also use ink on paper (take a few versions for best results), polymer clay, or two-part putty like Pinkysil.
We then use lost wax casting to create your necklace pendant in your chosen metal, preserving every unique line and whorl of the fingerprint.
Giving the Gift of Gold: Beautiful and Valuable
Here's something wonderful about choosing solid gold: you're not just giving a sentimental gift, you're giving something with real, lasting value. Since 1900, gold as a physical investment has performed as well as shares. That means the solid gold fingerprint necklace you give or wear today isn't just meaningful, it's valuable from an economic perspective too.
So when you choose a piece of SÓLINA Imprint jewellery, you're creating something that honours the relationship and protects value for the future. It's a gift that works on every level: emotionally, sentimentally, and practically. Not many gifts can say that.
FAQ: Solid Gold Fingerprint Necklaces
How do you capture the fingerprint for the necklace?
You capture the fingerprint yourself. After placing your order, you'll receive an Imprint Wax Kit in the mail with everything needed to capture your loved one's print. Simply return the impressions using the prepaid satchel, and we'll handle the rest. Within 2-3 weeks, you'll receive your Imprint necklace in your chosen metal.
Can I include multiple fingerprints on one necklace?
Yes, there are several ways to do this. You can take double-sided impressions with one print per side, or get creative and place two fingerprints on one side of the wax. Both of these options are the most cost-effective as they create a single pendant.
For ultimate flexibility—especially for growing families—you can also have single-sided imprints stacked as separate pendants on the same chain. This allows you to add more prints over time.
There are many ways to carry everyone you love on one necklace.
Will the fingerprint fade or wear away over time?
No. Because the fingerprint is engraved into solid gold, not plated or printed on the surface, it lasts forever. Solid gold doesn't wear away, tarnish, or fade. The fingerprint will be just as clear in fifty years as it is the day you receive it. That's why solid gold is the only real choice for something this meaningful.
Can I get a fingerprint necklace if the person has passed away?
Yes. Many people create fingerprint necklaces as memorial pieces, using prints taken during life or from documents like birth certificates or identification cards. If you have a clear print available, we can work with it. Fingerprint necklaces are a beautiful way to keep someone close after they're gone.
Why choose solid gold for fingerprint jewellery?
Fingerprint jewellery is deeply personal and meant to last a lifetime. Solid gold is the only metal that truly honours that significance. It doesn't tarnish, doesn't wear away, and holds both sentimental and financial value. For something as intimate as carrying a loved one's fingerprint close to your heart, solid gold ensures the piece will be as permanent as the love it represents.
