Nose & Paw Print Keepsakes

We capture the real texture of your pet's nose or paw in 3D, then turn it into a silver keepsake you can keep, wear or display.

This page focuses on the imprint itself — what it is, nose vs paw, and which suits your pet. Jewellery styles and emotional timing are covered on other pages.

What exactly is a nose or paw-print keepsake?

Prints start from S$480

It's a 3D impression of your pet's actual nose or paw, cast in silver. Not an ink stamp or flat engraving — the real bumps, grooves and "toe beans" are preserved.

Every nose and paw texture is unique to your pet — like a fingerprint.

  • We use a soft, pet-safe material to gently take the nose or paw impression.
  • The imprint is then used to create a 3D silver piece that preserves real texture.
  • You can choose 999 fine silver or 925 sterling, depending on whether the piece is for wear or display.
  • Once taken, the imprint can be reused later for pendants, rings or displays — without disturbing your pet again.

Should I choose a nose or a paw print?

Both are meaningful — the choice usually comes down to your pet's comfort and what you personally connect with more.

Nose Print

A good choice if your pet is comfortable with gentle handling near the face.

  • Shows the familiar "boop" texture you see every day.
  • Nice if you often touch or kiss their nose.
  • Works well for most dogs and some cats.
  • Suitable for both standalone keepsakes and jewellery later.

Paw Print

A good choice if your pet is more relaxed with their paws being handled.

  • Shows the pads and toe beans — especially cute on small dogs and cats.
  • Ideal if your pet already accepts paw touching or nail trims.
  • Often preferred for more face-shy or sensitive pets.
  • Works well for both display pieces and jewellery later.

If you're unsure, you can WhatsApp us with a short description or video of your pet's behaviour, and we'll suggest what feels kindest and most realistic.

Does this work for my pet's size and breed?

Dog Sizes

  • • Works very well for toy, small and medium dogs (around 3–20kg).
  • • For larger dogs, we may use a cropped portion of the nose or paw to keep the piece wearable or display-friendly.
  • • We can show size examples so you know roughly how big your piece will be.

Cats & Other Pets

  • • We can also work with cats and some smaller animals.
  • • If unsure, send a close-up photo of the nose or paw and we'll advise.
Size comparison of nose-print pieces across different dog sizes

We'll be honest if something may be too large or detailed for certain formats, and suggest alternatives or display styles if needed.

What can this imprint become later?

Once the nose or paw imprint is taken, you don't have to decide everything right away. The same imprint can be reused to create different keepsakes over time.

You don't need to decide nose vs paw, or pendant vs display today. Tell us a bit about your pet and where they are in life, and we'll suggest a few kind, realistic options.
