About

Petite Prints is a Christchurch business which was set up in 2010 with a vision of capturing your loved ones fingerprints in silver, creating something which can be treasured forever.

Where possible your loved one's impression will be taken directly into a silver clay. This means your jewellery has actually been touched by someone you love. If this isn't possible I can provide you with a fingerprint mould kit. You'll be able to keep that special person close to your heart at all times.

Each Petite Prints’ charm is lovingly handcrafted from fine silver. They are stamped with the silver hallmark (STGor 999FS) and finished with solid sterling silver fittings, unless otherwise stated. These charms come in a variety of shapes and can be purchased individually or you can choose to have them attached to a stunning piece of jewellery from the Petite Prints’ collection.

A great deal of time, care and attention to detail goes into making every single charm, meaning the finished piece is as individual as the person that created the fingerprint!

 

I am a mum of two, a designer, a jewellery maker, a painter, a gardening enthusiast, and a ‘maker of things’. Gaining a Bachelor of Design at Christchurch Polytechnic, I majored in Graphic Design and Photography before joining an Advertising Agency as a Graphic Designer. In my professional career I've worked as a Senior Graphic designer, Studio Manager and Digital Project manager here in New Zealand and in Australia.

After some busy years rebuilding our home following the Christchurch earthquakes, and now with two lively kids, I'm very much enjoying the creative side of jewellery making as well as being able to create something special and unique that will be truly treasured.

I enjoy the creativity in jewellery making as well as my  graphic design project work (iknowthisperson.com). Beyond my artistic pursuits, I actively support my children's school having runThe Mt Pleasant Art Exhibition in 2022 and 2023.

Thanks for reading.
