Yellow fingerprints is a pair of yellow gold wedding rings featuring fingerprints, crafted from 18-carat yellow gold. The bands have a smooth, continuous profile, while a section of the surface bears the original fingerprint design. The transition between the polished metal and the textured trace alters the light without interrupting the circumference. On the hand, the mark remains recognisable up close while maintaining a well-balanced overall presence of the ring.

The first consultation serves to define the shape, proportions, material and method for integrating your personal mark into the structure of the rings.
Yellow fingerprints belong to my archive of created works and document a solution developed around a specific couple. Every new project is redesigned considering people, hand proportions, material, daily use and meaning. Even when the starting point is a fingerprint, the position of the trace, the curve of the band and the relationship between surfaces must be studied afresh for the wearer of the wedding rings.
The project stems from a few wedding bands in my gallery, chosen by the couple to clarify the desired structure and character. The customisation takes shape when their original fingerprints become part of the surface design. The artist's concept thus changes perspective: it does not refer to the person who crafts the rings, but to the two people who are building a new family unit and embedding a trace of their shared life project into the material.
For these wedding rings I worked in 18-carat yellow gold through 3D modelling, prototyping, lost-wax casting, polishing and quality control. The original fingerprints were integrated into the design and transferred onto the metal surface through casting. The prototypes allowed the couple to check sizes, heights, thicknesses and proportions before production, keeping a direct relationship between the idea, testing and wearability.
Discover what it means to create your wedding rings together
Come into the workshop and discover a different way of experiencing the creation of your wedding rings.
You will be involved in the most significant phases of the process, accompanied step by step throughout the experience.
At the end of the day, you will take away not only the wedding rings, but also the memory of having made them together with your own hands.
Since 2009, I have guided private clients and couples through the creation of their jewellery in my atelier. Over thirty years of goldsmithing experience guide every stage: listening, design, workshop, quality control, and delivery. Awards, mentions, and accolades tell the story of the artisanal, technical, and creative journey that underpins my work. Each badge links to an in-depth article on the blog.
A fingerprint or another personal mark can be incorporated into the structure of your wedding rings after studying their position, proportions and relationship with the surface together.
The initial meeting is to clarify desires, materials, structure, timelines, and feasibility. It doesn't require an immediate decision.
