Thumbies for all ages and stagesCreating Keepsakes
Meadow Hill helps you create keepsakes of the peopleyou love and the times you want to remember. Three-dimensional Thumbies are crafted from fingerprints,
footprints or handprints using the time-honoredprocess of lost wax casting. The finished pieces are
ever so touchable, making real our memories ateach stage of life’s cycle.
Examples of usable prints found on military discharge papers (DD214) and hospital birth records
Capturing Life’s MomentsChildrenThere are few things as irresistible askeepsakes that replicate the tinyhandprints and footprints of newbornsand toddlers. Children’s prints make perfect gifts for newparents and grandparents.Youth and Young Adults
The fingerprints of young people are clear, theridges well defined. Keepsakes created at this agespeak of the promises of life. They also giveparents a way to deal with the inevitable emptynest or deployments to far off places.
Middle AgeIn midlife fine lines begin to cross the surface ofour fingerprints, making them even more distinct.Truly the “sandwich” time of life, we have lots ofpeople—older and younger—with whom we wantto stay connected.
The ElderlyAs our love ones near the end of life, the ridges oftheir prints grow fainter and the “life lines” morepronounced. We imagine their prints telling thestories of their lives.
The DeceasedNationwide, Meadow Hill has a network of funeral homes in theU.S. and Canada that assist families by presenting the product,taking final prints of the deceased and placing keepsakeorders. People wishing to capture prints of living familymembers can work through this network. Call CustomerService for a location near you or visit,www.meadowhillco.com.
Prints from the pastMeadow Hill workswith scans of printsfrom a variety ofsources, such as birthrecords, military or policerecords, school projects,firearm registrations,employment cards, etc.

Maintaining Sterling Silver Keepsakes
Meadow Hill uses the highest quality .925 sterling in thecrafting of its silver pieces. We do not plate our sterlingkeepsakes.If sterling silver jewelry is worn daily, the natural oils in thebody generally keep it lustrous for long periods. However,over time or if not worn regularly, a piece will dull or tarnish.This is inherent to the metal and not a cause for alarm. Thepiece just needs to be cleaned.
Cleaning Instructions• If your piece is heavily tarnished, first remove the tarnish
with a liquid tarnish remover following the manufacturer’sinstruction. It only takes a second or two. Never submergejewelry with stones (synthetic or genuine) in tarnishremover or leave jewelry in the liquid for longer than afew seconds.
• Use a good silver cream polish to restore the shine andplace a protective coating (and tarnish resistor!) on yourpiece. These are available in most hardware and grocerystores. Again, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Metal AllergiesMost people have no problem wearing sterling silver, but asmall percentage of the population does have metal allergiesand reacts to the alloys used in sterling silver. When worn,their pieces quickly tarnish, turn colors, and, in severe cases,cause a skin reaction. If this happens, Meadow Hill can applyrhodium plating to any sterling silver piece for individualswith this problem. There is a charge for this service plus theUPS charge to return the piece to you.
