Such a special necklace! Unfortunately my dog sadly passed away recently but before he left, I managed to get an imprint of his paw as I knew I wanted to always have a piece of him with me. The process was really easy and instructions provided in the kit were well explained. I was nervous when sending back the piece of wax as I didn't want it to get lost but the team were super helpful and let me know when it arrived with them. The process took around 5 weeks in total but I couldn't be happier with the result! The necklace is such good quality and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a sentimental piece of jewellery! Thank you xx
Got it for my sister and her dog, Scout! She loves it!! It’s such a great gift to keep your loved one close to your heart
I absolutely love this! My current dog is really old now and I’ve wanted to do something so that I’ve always got him with me. It was such an easy process, the wax was slightly tricky but was fine practicing on the spare pieces included in the parcel. I would recommend this to anyone, the quality is amazing and is a piece I’ll wear all the time and cherish forever.
Beautiful! Thank you so much 🥰
It took a few tries with the wax and I was worried the I.print wouldn't be clear enough, as it was tough to see on the wax. However, I trusted the process, my necklace has arrived and I absolutely love it! It has come out perfectly and I couldn't be happier
his is now one of the most important jewelry pieces that I own. The quality is fantastic! The team is right there beside you if you have any questions during the molding process. I would highly recommend!
So accommodating had trouble with the wax getting it hot messaged them on instagram and they gave me alternative options! The whole way they have been in contact giving updates! Am so in love with the finished product and genuinely one of the most special pieces of jewellery I own as I have my baby with me always🫶🏼
I have never done something like this before, but the instructions were very clear and easy to follow along. I brought the necklace imprint kit and have just received my design back and it’s amazing! I imprinted my dogs paw print to the wax and i’m so glad it came back as i imagined, as my doggie passed away a day later. Now i will always have this to treasure her by. 100% recommend.
The paw print pendant is absolutely stunning. Such a unique design and the perfect wedding present for my wife to be. The process and instructions were straightforward and easy to follow, the necklace and pendant are so beautiful, i can't wait to give it to my wife to be! My beautiful pup is happy as well. Thank you
The envelope you guys sent me to resend the wax is giving me a lot of problems at the post office.
I absolutely love the pendant. The imprints are clearly visible and look wonderful!! Totally worth the money and wait. The only problems I encountered had to do with the shipping and duty I had to pay in order to ship the kit and necklace to Germany. But even with the hassle I can totally recommend the paw print pendant, the final result is amazing!!
I pre-ordered from Germany and my necklace has finally arrived. I am overjoyed and don't regret it for a second. Even though the manufacturing process takes a "long" time, you shouldn't forget that it is a very small company and it is really handmade with love! ❤️
I was delighted with the wonderful customer service i received when ordering the Fingerprint Pendant Kit from Le Mela. I had to contact Le Mela and Gabriel was so friendly, kind and professional. My order was sent to Australia and was received within the time frame given. My granddaughter was extremely happy when she received it for Christmas. She returned the cast and was delighted with the completed pendant which she received back very quickly. I highly recommend the Le Mela company

Hi received kit and sent mould away but not received back yet.
Bought this for my best friends birthday and it’s such a great gift and she is so excited
I order the pendant kit for my Mum’s Birthday, she absolutely loved it and had so much fun make the finger/ paw print with our Black Labrador. Couldn’t recommend enough and might have to get a lot for myself!! :)
Very nice necklace I got it for my daughter for her birthday and it’s beautiful
Great
I have sent the wax kit back. I haven’t heard anything? No confirmation it’s been received. I know it can take a while to make but any heads up would be appreciated.
Store owner replied: Thank you for your order! I can see you were emailed on the 22nd May confirming your wax had been processed. This update is also visible if you log into your Le Mela account.
Very fast and very good communication and quality !
I can't even begin to express how much this little necklace means to me. We were afraid that the casting wasn't deep enough, but they had no issue getting every little detail in Bears paw.
My experience wad really nice with Le Mela and the wax pendant kit, was easy to create the nose and fingerprints on the wax and we definitely created an amazing memories as well. I am really excited to see the final product:)
Love the product and the customer service is so good ❤️ Will definitely order again!
Perfect, just perfect!
Looks great
Great item quick turnaround! Daughter loved it
So beautiful! The perfect memory to keep
Excellent service

Made for a fun experience with my Nana. Something I will have forever :)
I love the necklace however it tarnishes so easily which is quite frustrating and silver shouldn't do that
Brought for my fiancée she absolutely loves it
Bought as a gift. Just what we wanted. Recipient loved it. Beautiful necklace.
I bought the necklace for my daughter when her dog died. It is beautiful. Very subtle and simple but classy. Would definitely recommend
I love the pendant! The detail they managed to capture from the wax is amazing and everything arrived quicker than I expected.
The team were really helpful. We have 3 dogs and my daughter only wanted 1 pendant. We were able to use extra wax to imprint all 3 dogs pads and combine to create a pendant that my daughter is delighted with. Thank you
