What are “Thumbies”?
Our fingerprint is unique and what better way to honor a loved one then to carry their fingerprint with you always?
Thumbies is a company that allows you to do that. Ranging from rings to earring and bracelets, Thumbies® allows you to place the fingerprint of your loved on whatever style of jewellery you like.
Thumbies® has made it their standard practice to take a precise impression of the fingerprints of each person who is transferred into their care. They then send this one-of-a-kind imprint to the highly skilled and talented artisans and the dedicated staff make a 3D fire cast mold to ensure maximum detail.
Once the mold is complete, precious metals are then melted and injected into the mold at extremely high temperatures. After the mold has cooled, the print is then removed to be polished, cleaned and reviewed for accuracy. Families are also able to add an engraving to their keepsake. The sterling silver pieces are treated with a special chemical to prevent tarnish and enhance durability.
“What has allowed us to get to this point is our use of science. We capture all prints in a unique way and we cast in a way we were always told could not be done,” said Tom Dougherty, company founder.
“Luckily we have very skilled and dedicated employees who have become specialists in the process, and we take the time to continue to explore and learn new methods and techniques as well.” He continued.
And Thumbies® is not just for humans. Pets can be memorialized through their paw and/or their nose print on jewellery, lighters and pocket knives.
