The Imprint - Bespoke Handprint Pendant

What survives of the Roman world is often what was pressed into it. Roof tiles were laid out in the open to dry, and the world crossed them while the clay was still soft — children's palms, dogs' paws, the sole of a small shoe, caught in an unguarded moment and fired into permanence. The buildings fell. The prints are still being found, two thousand years later, in the rubble of villas and forts across the old empire: the record of an afternoon that outlasted everything built around it. The Imprint Pendant makes that accident deliberate. Your child's hand is pressed into clay, and the impression is cast in recycled solid gold within Common Era's wax seal form — a true relief, holding the full depth and contour of the hand at one exact moment of its life. The rise and fall of the palm. The press of each small finger. A moment that will never recur, made permanent in the oldest way we know. The pendant is pictured here with a 1.8mm solid gold wheat chain, which can be purchased separately.
