Imprint Collection
The Process
1. Book your appointment
Book your in-store appointment online to secure your spot.
2. Imprint your wax
Together with our trained staff member you use gentle, steady pressure to create your imprint in the wax.
3. Return your wax
Select the wax impression with the clearest and most detailed result.
We store your chosen wax in the protective tin and complete the information form.
4. Inspection & Casting
Once we selected your wax design, our goldsmith inspects it for clarity and structure.
After approval, it’s transformed into solid gold or silver using the traditional lost-wax casting method.
5. Polishing & Finishing
Your piece is carefully polished, refined, and finished by hand to achieve its final shine and smooth contours.
6. Delivery
Your jewelry is packaged in a MiJu gift box and sent to you with care.
Allow around 4 weeks for silver and 6 weeks for gold after we receive your wax design. Processing times may vary slightly.
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.
