George and Mike
We treasure our loved ones and when they leave us in death -- either suddenly or after a long illness -- we feel a deep loss and sense of emptiness. Rodman Neeper offers a unique and meaningful way to fill that void -- Thumbies® keepsakes that will be treasured now and for years to come. Thumbies® are uniquely personal keepsakes, meticulously fashioned in precious metals from a fingerprint of your loved one. For infants and young children whose fingerprints are very fine, the funeral director takes prints of the entire foot or hand.

Artisans select the best portion of the best print, choosing the most interesting lifelines, arches, loops or whorls from a high-definition scan. Then, from a three-dimensional wax model, it is cast in solid yellow or white 14K gold or sterling silver. After casting, your Thumbie® is put through an extensive polishing process to give it a lustrous finish. Diamonds or synthetic birthstones may be added; and earrings, tie tacs, cuff links and key chains can be created.
 
The final step in creating your heirloom is the engraving of the backside with a name and date. You may purchase these thoughtful remembrances with matching 18" chains or as charms to be added to a special necklace or bracelet of your own. Thumbies® make wonderful remembrances to give to family members and close friends on special occasions. Since the scanned prints are saved electronically, additional units may be ordered at a later date. Thumbies® are keepsakes to be treasured for generations.
