Abstract: A method of creating fingerprint-imprinted jewelry which includes the steps of applying a lubricating oil to a fingertip and providing an amount of precious metal clay sufficient to generally cover at least a portion of a fingertip. The amount of precious metal clay is then formed into a fingerprint-receiving shape such as a generally flat disk or plate and a fingertip is then pressed into the precious metal clay such that a fingerprint of the fingertip is formed and retained on and within the amount of precious metal clay. The amount of precious metal clay is then air-dried to initially set and retain the fingerprint and then is fired within a kiln to ablate substantially all of the organic binding material within the precious metal clay thereby leaving only the precious metal having the fingerprint formed thereon which is thus available for use as a piece of jewelry.
