What makes a good print?

To ensure your print will work well for your jewellery piece, consider the type of jewellery you’ve ordered. For instance, a bar ring requires a print wide enough to design the band’s front, as shown on the designs on our website. Check if your print is large enough to suit the jewellery style. If it’s too small, we’ll take creative liberties to craft the best possible piece with the provided print.

We cannot stretch prints or flatten concave ones, as this distorts the texture. To avoid this, aim for the largest, flattest surface of your dog’s nose when taking the print. If your dog is sensitive about their face, it may take two people, one to gently hold and comfort your dog, and another to press the wax. The process is quick, safe, and painless, but if a nose print isn’t feasible, a paw print can be a great alternative, as paws offer rich texture.

Prepare the wax by warming it thoroughly and rolling it into a smooth, pliable ball. When taking the print, press it gently against the nose to create a flat disc, ideally 3–5mm thick. Your fingerprint will naturally transfer to the back of the wax. A good print should be flat, like a coin. Be mindful of the nose print side of the wax as it will pick up fingerprints if you touch it!
