When you lose someone, you look for ways to keep them near. Memorial fingerprint jewelry does exactly that. It takes a loved one’s own fingerprint, the most individual mark a person has, and turns it into a pendant, ring or charm you can wear. At Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, one team helps capture the print and guides you through the design, so the finished piece feels like your loved one. These are the Thumbies keepsakes East Bay families choose most, and how we help you personalize and order them.
Each piece we help you customize is different. These are the fingerprint keepsakes East Bay families choose most often. Each one is something we help you personalize and coordinate from start to finish.
A Thumbies pendant allows you to keep a loved one’s fingerprint over your heart. We offer memorial fingerprint pendants in several metals and finishes, each cast from the print itself, so the detail you hold belongs to your loved one.
For a keepsake you wear every day, a fingerprint ring sets a loved one’s print into a band you always wear. Choose from custom-sized fingerprint rings in a range of metals and finishes to create a piece that suits your personal style.
Not everyone wears a necklace. Thumbprint jewelry in Oakland is also available as a bracelet charm, keychain or cufflink, so each member of the family can carry the same print in the way that feels right for them.
One fingerprint can become a keepsake for the whole family. We help you order matching sets from a single print, so a spouse, the children and the grandchildren each have the same touch in their own piece.
The fingerprint is captured by our team at the Oakland chapel, then used for the pieces your family chooses, so nothing is left for you to arrange elsewhere. We treat that personal mark with the care it deserves.
