Imprint Collection
The Process
1. At Home or In-Store?
If you’d like to create your design at home, simply add the Imprint Kit to your cart and proceed to checkout.
Prefer to do it in store? Book your appointment directly — there’s no need to add anything to your cart.
2. Imprint your wax
At home: follow the step-by-step guide in your kit to make your wax imprint.
In store: our team will guide you through the imprint process in person.
3. Return your imprint
If you used the home kit, place your chosen wax imprint in the protective tin and send it back to us.
In store, your imprint will be checked and approved on the spot.
4. Inspection & Casting
Once your imprint arrives, our goldsmith carefully inspects it to ensure it’s ready for casting.
After approval, your design is transformed into solid gold or silver using the traditional lost-wax method.
5. Polishing & Finishing
After casting, your jewelry is hand-polished and refined to perfection.
Every piece is shaped as symmetrically as possible, yet remains one of a kind - a reflection of your unique imprint.
6. Delivery
Your finished jewelry is presented in a MiJu gift box and sent to you with care.
Please allow around 4 weeks for silver and 6 weeks for gold after we receive your imprint. Processing times may vary slightly.
Everything you need to create your own wax design, ready to be transformed into a precious piece of jewelry.
Your kit includes:
- Multiple wax pieces, to practice and create your final imprint.
- Return form, to note down your details and selected jewelry design.
- Instruction card with clear step-by-step guidance.
- Return envelope and protective tin, for easy and secure shipping back to our store.
FAQ
How long does the process take?
Once we receive your wax design, the production time is approximately 4 weeks for silver and 6 weeks for gold.
Times may vary slightly depending on workload and season.
Is the wax safe for children and pets?
Yes. The wax is non-toxic and completely safe to use for children and pets when making hand, foot, or paw imprints. However, it’s not intended to be eaten, and small pieces should be kept out of reach when not in use.
Can I practice before making my final imprint?
Yes. Each kit includes extra wax blanks so you can practice before creating your final imprint.
What if my imprint doesn’t look right?
If you’re unsure, take a clear photo and email it to us before returning your wax. Our goldsmith can advise whether it’s suitable for casting.
Do you confirm when you receive my wax?
Yes. You’ll receive an email confirmation once your wax has arrived safely at our store.
What if my wax is damaged during shipping?
We recommend placing it in the provided protective tin and using tracked shipping for added security.
What metals can I choose from?
You can choose from sterling silver or 9k gold. Please contact us before placing your order if you prefer 14k gold. Each piece is made to order in our store.
How long do I have to return my wax?
You can return your wax design within 3 months of receiving your kit. After that period, an additional fee may apply.
Is the wax reusable?
No. Once imprinted, the wax shape cannot be reused or reshaped. Use the extra pieces included in your kit for practice.
Do you keep a copy of my imprint or wax design?
No. Each wax model is unique and used directly in the lost-wax casting process, meaning it melts away when your jewelry is created. We do not keep any molds or copies, ensuring your piece remains one of a kind.
I forgot to include my registration form in the envelope. What should I do?
Unfortunately, we’re unable to start creating your jewelry if we can’t identify who the package is from. Please contact us as soon as possible with your full name, order number, and tracking details so we can try to locate and match your wax design to your order.
Can I imprint two dog prints on a single necklace kit?
Each kit is designed for one imprint and one final piece of jewelry. If you’d like to include two prints, such as two paws on one pendant, please contact us before starting. In some cases, we can combine both imprints into one custom design for an additional fee.
Can I imprint two dog prints on a single ring kit?
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to include two prints on one ring. Each ring design is made to capture a single, detailed imprint to ensure the best result and highest quality. If you’d like to create two rings—one for each pet—you can order an additional kit.
