Paw print or nose print jewellery | TRACES Collection

Jun 3, 2026

A paw print or nose print jewelry is a way to turn your pet's actual print into a custom-made piece of jewelry.

In the TRACES collection, I transform real paw prints of dogs, cats, and other pets into original bronze and silver jewelry. Each piece is created from a specific print, so no two are exactly alike.

Why get paw or nose print jewelry?

For many of us, pets are are family. We have phones full of photos, but a paw or nose print is something else. It's a real physical trace of a specific animal that you can carry with you every day.

That's why impression jewelry is so special. It's not created from a photo or a universal template, but from a real paw or nose, capturing details that are unique to a specific animal.

How is a impression jewelry created?

Creating a print is simple and safe. The print can be made in person at my studio in Nová Cvernovka in Bratislava or remotely.

If you're from another city, I'll send you a complete print-making kit along with instructions.

The process works simply:

  1. You create the print using soft two-component silicone, following the instructions precisely.
  2. You fill out a short form.
  3. You send the print back to me.
  4. I transform it into a piece of jewelry.

The silicone used is soft, safe, and leaves no residue or damage on the paw or nose. Taking the print itself only takes a few seconds.

However, it should be noted that not every animal will find the print-taking pleasant. The nose, in particular, can be a sensitive area. If you know that your dog or cat does not tolerate similar handling, I recommend considering this before ordering.

What kind of impression jewelry do I make?

Most often I make these:

  • pendants and rings with paw or nose prints
  • rings and wedding bands with fingerprints
  • pendants with a child's handprint or finger print

Each piece of jewelry is made individually according to the specific print.

I work with 925 sterling silver or bronze. Bronze is  combined with chains made of gold-plated stainless steel. Impression jewelry can be also made in gold upon request.

Why I created the TRACES collection

Honestly? I should have created this collection a long time ago. 🙂 As someone who has loved animals all my life, I still don't quite understand why it took me so long.

The ability to transfer a real paw or nose print into metal combines two things I love: animals and craftsmanship.

An animal's nose print is as unique as a human fingerprint!

What fascinates me about prints is that each one is different. Sometimes it's perfectly clear, sometimes a small groove or other detail appears, and sometimes fur is also part of the prints.

Each piece is created with the knowledge that it is not just a pretty object, but something that has real meaning for its owner, and that is the greatest reward for me.

 


Frequently Asked Questions

How is the print taken?

The print is created using soft two-component silicone, which captures even fine details. The imprinting itself only takes a few seconds and can be done in person at the studio or remotely using a print kit.

Is taking the print safe for the dog?

Yes. The silicone used is non-toxic, odorless, and leaves no residue on the paw or nose.

However, it should be noted that not every animal will find the print-taking pleasant. If you know that your dog or cat does not tolerate similar handling, I recommend considering this before ordering.

Can I have a cat print jewelry made?

Yes. I can create jewelry from virtually any imprint. It doesn't have to be just a dog or a cat. It can also be a print of another animal, a claw, a foot, or even a feather.

If the print is too large, we will only use a part of it to fit the specific piece of jewelry.
