Paw Print Cremation Jewellery
Share
Paw print cremation jewellery combines a small, sealed portion of your pet's ashes with an engraved or embossed paw print design, offering a way to keep them close wherever you go. It's one of the most popular styles of pet memorial jewellery in Australia.
Common styles
- Pendants — a simple paw print charm on a chain, often in stainless steel or sterling silver.
- Bracelets and charms — a paw print charm added to an existing bracelet.
- Keyrings — a practical, everyday way to carry a small portion of ashes.
Using your pet's actual paw print
Some jewellers can incorporate your pet's actual paw print (taken via an ink or clay impression) rather than a generic paw design, for an even more personal keepsake — similar to fingerprint jewellery for humans. It's worth asking your vet or pet cremation provider if a paw print impression can be taken.
Choosing a material
Stainless steel is a particularly popular choice for pet jewellery given its durability for daily wear — see our comparison of stainless steel vs sterling silver for more detail.
A meaningful everyday reminder
Many pet owners find that wearing a small paw print pendant offers genuine comfort in the weeks and months after losing a pet — a quiet, personal way to carry that companionship with them.
