Couple hand casting of two hands holding each other

A couple hand casting is a 3D sculpture of two hands together, cast from life. It captures your rings, the way your fingers fit together and every line on your hands. It is a unique wedding, engagement or anniversary keepsake, and a meaningful gift for parents celebrating many years together.

Why couples choose hand casting

  • It is personal. No two pairs of hands are alike; the cast is truly yours.
  • It lasts. Unlike flowers or a cake, a hand cast can be displayed for decades.
  • It tells a story. Your rings, a bangle or a mehendi pattern can all be part of it.
  1. Holding hands. The classic pose: simple, warm and easy to hold still.
  2. Linked little fingers. A playful pose that looks lovely in metallic finishes.
  3. Hands with rings forward. Ideal for engagements, to show the ring clearly.
  4. One hand resting on the other. Elegant, especially for anniversaries.
  5. Family pose. A couple's hands with a baby's hand or foot resting on top.

Tip: practise the pose at home first. Choose one that is comfortable to hold for a few minutes.

For weddings and engagements

A couple hand casting made close to the wedding keeps the rings, the excitement and sometimes even the mehendi. Some couples have the casting done on the day after the wedding, and display it at home as their first piece of art together.

For anniversaries

For a 10th, 25th or 50th anniversary, a hand casting of parents or grandparents is a gift the whole family will treasure. Older hands carry the story of a life together, and they look beautiful in gold or bronze. Our 25-years love couple casting is one of the most requested designs; see it in the packages.

Finishes and frames

  • Gold, silver and bronze give a classic, timeless look.
  • White or pearl suits modern homes and soft interiors.
  • Shadow box frames protect the cast and leave space for a name, date and message.
  • Crystal clear and touch-and-feel castings are special styles for something different.

What to wear and how to prepare

  • Keep your hands clean and free of lotion or oil.
  • Wear the rings you want in the cast, and make sure they are clean.
  • Remove loose bracelets or watches unless you want them in the cast.
  • Sit comfortably: you will hold the pose for a few minutes while the mould sets.
