OUR STORY
In the mid-1990s, a grandmother gave her son two gold charms. She was an artist and had crafted these gifts herself to feature the unique fingerprints of each of her granddaughters. When her son woke up in the middle of the night clutching these charms, he was struck with the idea to create similar custom keepsakes—personal jewelry that would mean as much to others as his charms meant to him.
Steadily, Meadow Hill has grown from a middle-of-the-night brainstorm to a nationwide company. The power of the human connection, particularly through touch, guides every aspect of the work Meadow Hill renders. Each keepsake we cast forges a durable symbol of one specific and unique person—a fingerprint. We believe in creating, celebrating, and capturing memories of people and passions important to them. Although our company has grown and changed over the years, we continue to work hard for the same reason: to ignite passion, heart, and soul in the human spirit.
OUR PROCESS
Half art. Half science. The creative side of our production process ensures a skilled bench jeweler hand-finishes every piece, texturing, polishing, engraving, and affixing gemstones with care and passion for the deep meaning of each identity-centric keepsake. Polishing takes time to perfect—to learn the contours of each piece, to record in one’s muscle memory the required application of pressure, to guarantee symmetry when the piece hangs from the bail. Our artisans unite decades of combined experience to bend metal to the will of personal expression.
The science side of our production process enables, most importantly, a highly precise three-dimensional modeling of your loved one’s print. A lost-wax investing and casting process that uses vacuum technology and sensitively calibrated thermal readings makes sure we pour liquid silver or gold into your mold at the ideal temperature. And high-power microscopes allow our bench jewelers to find with their keen eyes any imperfections and fix them. Half science. Half art.

Meadow Hill’s print-centric keepsakes celebrate everyone important in our lives, from newborns and newlyweds to deceased loved ones whose last touch we help ensure will never really be their last touch.
