Burling ton-based Fingerprint Jewelry by designer Mariel Pagliai, offers a solution with her selection of meaningful charms that are custom designed for mom this Mother's Day. Since 1997, the fingerprints that Pagliai has been creating with her customers are unique pieces of jewellery that capture a moment in life and last forever. They are stylish pieces of jewel lery made of precious metals, using high-end jewellery designs and techniques. Each piece is individually made, because it is personalized to fit your style, using fingerprint impressions from your loved ones. And there is nothing more unique than having a piece of jewellery made by some one you love. Pagliai's interest in jewellery began at the early age of 12 when she would watch her father cre ate unique pieces as a metalsmith. Inspired by his beautiful creations. Over time, she developed her distinct language in the jewellery world, and her work is now exhibited in galleries across the Americas and Europe. While her charms are suited for any age, her mom-specific pieces are the perfect gift and offer countless options, an example being a pendant with a charm featuring her children's fingerprints. Charms can be further customized by adding a birth stone and a message; and come in various styles and sizes. Additionally, a fingerprint can be set on both sides of a charm, attached to a spin ner to view both prints. Pagliai finishes each piece by hand. Options are almost limitless to creating a one-of-a-kind pendant that offers lasting memo ries. Prices start at $80. " I feel rewarded when customers share with me the reaction of those who receive fingerprint charms. I receive many emails and pictures that touch my heart, and often bring tears to my eyes. There are different stories behind them. Some are happy, others are sad... but all of them are touching and there is love in common. And I am so greatful for being part of this pure expression of love." To order a charm, an appointment must be booked to take the fingerprint impression. This typically takes about 20 minutes. The piece is ready in two weeks from that date. Email info@ marielpagliai.com for more information or visit www.marielpagliai.com.
