What is a Thumbie?It’s different things to different people.

“A touch like no other—that’s my Thumbie. I feel theridges and the stories just come... happy ones, sadones, memories of fun times, hopes and dreams forour children and grandchildren...

I think of my best friend, and the great times wehad this summer...

I laugh, I cry, I remember...I pray, I curse at the mess he left me...When the clerk at the grocery store asks what I’mwearing, I tell her about my husband and how heis always close to my heart...I smile. I rub the print and count the hours ‘til thebus pulls up and out steps my pre-schooler with abackpack as big as she is... I think about my dad and all he saw and did inhis life... I miss him.” With a touch of your Thumbie, your stories willcome—evoking deep feelings and wonderfulmemories.

Thumbies are made from the unique finger-, foot- orhandprints of those we hold dear. From a two-dimensional ink or biometric scanned print, MeadowHill’s artisans create a three-dimensional wax that is thencast in metal using the ancient art of lost wax casting.Polished and engraved, perhaps embellished with a stoneor chain, these one of a kind keepsakes keep us comingback to the stories that connect us to the people we love.

Maintaining Sterling Silver KeepsakesIf 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 can dull or tarnish.Cleaning restores its original shine.

Cleaning Instructions1. 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 tarnish removeror leave jewelry in the liquid for longer than a few seconds.

2. Use a good silver cream polish to restore the shine and placea protective coating (and tarnish resistor!) on your piece.These are available in most hardware and grocery stores.Again, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Metal AllergiesMost people have no problem wearing sterling silver. However, asmall percentage of the population has metal allergies andreacts to the alloys used in sterling silver. When worn, theirpieces quickly tarnish, turn colors, and, in severe cases, cause askin reaction. If this happens, Meadow Hill can plate any sterlingsilver piece with Rhodium. There is a charge for this service plusthe UPS charge to return the piece to you.
