I wrote an article a while back about my paw print pet memorial jewellery. These are resin pendants and other items of memorial jewellery containing pet hair or ashes, along with a silver paw print symbol, sometimes also combined with a name, small flowers etc. An example of one of my paw print pet memorial pendants can be seen below:

I was recently contacted by Jasmine, whose family had sadly lost their family cat Panda. The vets had kindly given them some clippings of his fur and had taken actual ink paw prints from Panda. Jasmine wondered if I could incorporate the fur clipping and paw prints into a resin memorial pendant for her daughter’s birthday.
Initially I asked Jasmine if she could send me a scanned image of the paw prints to me (which would be the best solution for incorporating the paw print into the pendant). Unable to send a scanned image, I asked Jasmine to send me a photographic image of the paw prints and a small sample of the fur. This is the photo of the paw prints that was sent to me:

I photo edited, resized, and then printed the paw print, and this is the completed memorial pendant. The cat fur and paw print image has been set to the front of a clear resin heart shaped pendant.

Other prints such as nose prints and even photos of the pet can be incorporated into the memorial pendant.
