Fingerprint Jewelry and how we make it!fingerprint Jewelry Made From Fingerprints?
Fingerprint jewelry made from fingerprints is now possible! Today’s technology and yesteryears process of lost wax casting and fine engraving allow our highly skilled jewelers to make fine fingerprint jewelry that is actually made from anyones fingerprint. The fingerprint is received by our jewelry designers and a digital version is created. The artist will then focus on the most interesting portion of the print so he can make jewelry out of fingerprints that has the most texture and interesting swill pattern and crop that area of the fingerprint and digitally clean the fingerprints edges for a clean crisp edge. To make fingerprint jewelry from a fingerprint the image is transformed into a digital image. Then the digital fingerprint is transformed by a computer assisted manufacturing device that lets the jeweler create a wax mold of the image. Once the mold is made from the fingerprint the jewelry designer uses the old age process of lost wax casting method to create a personal fingerprint charm that is indeed made from the exact same pattern of the provided fingerprint. The lost wax fingerprint jewelry process is as follows: The wax mold, called a pattern, is first weighed so the amount of metal required to fill the mold (gold, silver, etc.) can be determined. Then the mold is attached to a base, and a flask is slipped over the base. Once the mold is in the flask, a kind of plaster that looks like pan cake batter called investment, is mixed up, put in a vacuum to get all the air bubbles out of it, and then poured into the flask. It is then left to dry and harden. This takes a minimum of two hours. Once the investment is dried, the base and flask are removed. Now the jewelry made from a fingerprint is created. The mold is put into an oven to burn out the wax. Next a centrifuge is used to force the melted metal into the investment mold, finally making a genuine piece of fingerprint jewelry from a fingerprint. The jewelry fingerprint is then cleaned up by filing and polishing the one of a kind jewelry made from a fingerprint. How do I get stated designing my fingerprint jewelry made from a fingerprint The whole jewelry made from a fingerprint process is very easy. The first step is to select the type of fingerprint made into jewelry design you prefer and order it using the easy check out process of our website. The second step is to obtain a good copy of the fingerprint. When you make your selection you will be asked if you have the prints already or do you need an ink kit to capture the prints. If there is no time to wait for the ink kit you may make a copy of the print by following these instructions: Begin by studying the thumb of the person whose print is being taken. Select the area of the thumb that is the most interesting. It is generally the area on the pad of the thumb where the ridges swirl. This is the area you will want to ink. Practice taking prints on any blank white sheet of paper. Lightly touch the inked pad surface twice and then press downward on the paper. (Use more of a tapping motion than a rolling one. When jewelry is made from a fingerprint we can only make it as good as the fingerprint sample you give us., so be sure to capture a nice clear print. If your first attempt is smudged or too light, then try again. We want to make the finest piece of keepsake jewelry you can cherish for life. Clean the inked surface with a wet paper towel. A drop of hand lotion that contains alcohol can assist in getting every last bit of ink off. Mail the original prints (NOT A PHOTO COPY) to: Cremation Solutions In about 3 - 4 weeks you will receive your finished fingerprint made into a jewelry charm.
