Hello lovely visitors to Boy & Bear, we make keepsake jewellery from your loved ones prints as well as a few other beautiful things �

I am Judith, owner and creator of Boy & Bear Jewellery. I live in Shropshire with my husband, our dog (aka the Bear) and our 2 young sons hence the name Boy & Bear. I've always loved silver jewellery and enjoy creating so after the birth of our first boy, when I wa

s unable to return to work due to ill heath, I founded this little business and I've enjoyed every second of being a business owner ever since. On this page you'll find examples of the pieces I have created but because every item is bespoke yours will be personal to you and a one-of-a-kind keepsake. You'll find information all about us, our processes and our products below but please do get in touch if you'd like any more information before ordering, we'd love to hear from you. All of our products are crafted in sterling silver and hand-polished to ensure a mirror shine finish (brushed silver is a favourite here though so if you'd prefer that just let us know). Every piece is individually made with love so each one will be unique. To take hand/foot prints we will send you an inkless printing kit with full instructions included. For fingerprints we will send you a moulding kit which is really simple to use and will more than likely remind you of your childhood; creating shapes with playdough or saltdough! Hand and footprints are miniaturized to fit the charms so no print is too large or too small. We then impress the print into something called “Metal Clay”, fire it in a kiln and finish it by hand with lots of time, care and love before popping it in a gift box and sending it home. Fingerprint charms can be created from anyone’s prints although babies younger than 18 months don't have their prints developed quite enough to take an impression so we'd recommend you wait until around 2 years to allow them to develop and deepen making the impression more noticeable. You can take an impression of a younger baby's prints however, you might not see the swirls and whirls of their print in the finished piece but you will always have a record of how tiny their fingers were. We are also able to create charms using your loved ones handwriting, signature or drawing so please do get in touch if there is anything you would like to immortalise in silver. Our rings are made to your size and are not adjustable, don't worry we'll pop a ring sizer in the post if you don't know it. Our hand/foot print rings are handcrafted using the same method as our charms and pendants. We are also able to work with other base metals such as copper, brass or steel. If you would prefer us to create you something in a base metal please contact us to discuss your design. Gold and Rose Gold plating is also available. We will have your sterling silver charm professionally plated using the highest quality materials for an additional charge. All that's left to say is you can also find us on instagram: www.instagram.com/boy_and_bear_jewellery where you'll find behind the scene peaks at what we get up to in our make room. And on twitter: https://twitter.com/Boy_andBear but I'm not 100% certain how to use that yet!! We love to hear from you so please get in touch, give us some feedback on what you see or tell us a joke, we really do love jokes! Above all, get involved and join us on our crazy adventure �


*All prices include the relevent print kit/ ring sizer. All charms will come with an 18" silver chain (if you'd rather not have the chain let us know and we'll adjust your invoice accordingly). All our love and attention.
