Print Jewelry – An Beautiful Alternative To Cremation Jewelry

When cremation jewelry became popular years ago, it solved the emotional need to have our lost loved ones close. In the early 2000’s you could finally find beautiful micro urns to wear around your neck. It is a lovely idea for those that find comfort in this. However, what happens when that piece of lost or stolen? It can be very distressful thinking that a portion of your loved one is out there somewhere, possibly pawned or around a stranger’s neck. If the thought of this makes you upset, then perhaps you should consider Fingerprint or Custom Legacy Jewelry.

In Medicine Hat, we have a company called Silver Soul Creations.  They make custom necklaces, bracelets, charms, and keychains from sterling silver. Their designs can include fingerprints, pawprints, dates, names, handwriting, feet, and handprints. There is impressive detail of the fingerprints in custom pieces. As an alternative to cremation jewelry, you can still carry a part of your loved one with you without the risk of losing a non-replaceable part of them. Keep a copy of the print in a safe place, and you can have it remade.

To ensure that the custom jewelry has the best detail, Silver Soul Creation’s website offers tips on how to get the best fingerprints possible for this process.

Here is an excerpt from their website in regards to making legacy jewelry. You will be in great hands with them.  Click HERE to shop!

WHAT KEEPS UP INSPIRED…The most meaningful part of this business comes when working with families who are struggling with loss and tragedy. We work closely with various hospitals, hospices, funeral homes, and even veterinarians to ensure that families who are dealing with grief have an opportunity to own a keepsake that they can keep close to them. We have heard beautiful stories from many of these families about how important their Silver Soul Creations keepsake piece is to them. This is what makes our work worthwhile.” ~https://www.silversoulcreations.ca
