Sterling Silver Baby Handprint Necklace from a Photo
- Sterling silver pendant
- Choice of sterling silver chains
- Handprints from a photo
- Choice of pendant shapes
The shape of your baby’s hand can become a keepsake long after those little fingers have grown. We prepare the handprint from your supplied photograph for engraving on a sterling silver pendant. The same choice of shapes also offers a home for other meaningful family images.
A photograph showing the complete handprint, including the fingertips, helps preserve its outline. Choose the pendant size with the amount of detail in mind, especially if you would also like to add optional wording.
Ideas for your personal engraving
- Photos: A favourite baby or family photograph can be used as an alternative to a print. Choose a well-lit image with a clear face or subject, allowing for the detail to be reduced to pendant size.
- Handwriting: A handwritten name, a few words from a note or a family member’s signature can become the engraving. A photograph or scan preserves the original writing rather than replacing it with a font.
- Drawings: A child’s first sketch or a simple doodle can tell another part of your family story. Send a clear image with the important lines visible and choose a design that suits the pendant’s space.
- Pet portraits: A photograph of a family pet offers another personal choice. A close-up of the face usually keeps more recognisable detail than a distant image when reduced for engraving.
- Nose prints: A pet’s individual nose pattern can come from a detailed photograph or an existing print. The selected pendant and image quality determine how much of its fine texture can be retained.
- Paw prints: A clear photograph or scan of a paw print can preserve its characteristic outline. Keep all the pads visible so the image can be arranged within your chosen pendant shape.
- Handprints and footprints: The original prints remain a lovely way to remember a child’s early years. Photograph or scan them clearly, keeping the complete outline visible for reduction to the size of the pendant.
Upload a clear photograph or scan of your chosen image when ordering. If you are unsure whether the artwork will suit this design, contact us before placing your order.

Looking after your jewellery
Caring for sterling silver
Sterling silver naturally changes over time and may develop tarnish as it reacts with the environment. This is completely normal and can usually be removed with gentle cleaning and polishing.
Engraved jewellery: Avoid aggressive polishing, abrasive pastes and silver dips over the engraved area. Gentle cleaning helps preserve the fine detail and contrast of your engraving.
