Aimee Sutanto Jewellery Guide
MEET AIMEE SUTANTO
Aimee Sutanto is a Melbourne jeweller whose work combines traditional precious-metal techniques with clean, contemporary design. Her jewellery is carefully made at the bench, with close attention given to proportion, texture and the meaning each piece will carry for the wearer.
The Aimee Sutanto collection at Lord Coconut includes wedding rings, fingerprint rings, a fingerprint pendant, sterling silver tie bars and personalised cufflinks. Some pieces are quietly minimal, while others are created around a deeply personal detail supplied by the customer.
Aimee’s work suits customers looking for jewellery that feels considered, individual and connected to a real person or occasion rather than produced as anonymous mass-market stock.
JEWELLERY MADE BY HAND IN MELBOURNE
Aimee hand-fabricates her jewellery in Melbourne using traditional jewellery-making techniques. This means the metal is cut, shaped, joined, textured and finished directly at the jeweller’s bench.
That hands-on process gives Aimee control over the small details that influence how a ring, tie bar, pendant or pair of cufflinks looks and feels. The width of a band, the balance of a curve and the depth of a texture are all part of the final result.
Many pieces are made to order, allowing the jewellery to remain connected to the person who will wear it rather than being produced in large identical batches.
PERSONALISED FINGERPRINT JEWELLERY
Aimee’s fingerprint jewellery is one of the most personal parts of the Lord Coconut collection. A real fingerprint supplied by the customer is incorporated into the finished ring or pendant.
The print may belong to a partner, child, parent, family member or someone else important to the wearer. Because every fingerprint is unique, the resulting jewellery carries a detail that cannot be duplicated in exactly the same way.
This gives the piece meaning without relying on a visible name, date or message. To most people, the design may appear as an organic texture. To the wearer, it represents a specific person.
HOW A FINGERPRINT BECOMES JEWELLERY
The process begins with a usable fingerprint supplied by the customer. Aimee then translates the pattern of ridges and lines into a form suitable for the scale and surface of the chosen piece.
A fingerprint contains much more detail than can always be reproduced on a small ring or pendant, so the design needs to remain recognisable while working within the practical limits of jewellery.
The finished impression retains the natural irregularity of the original print rather than becoming a generic decorative pattern.
Because the design is based on an individual fingerprint, small differences between pieces are expected and central to the meaning of the work.
FINGERPRINT RINGS
The fingerprint rings in Aimee’s collection are available in different widths and metals, allowing customers to choose a design suited to their hand and personal style.
A wider band gives the fingerprint more visual presence, while a narrower ring can feel more understated. Sterling silver provides a cooler contemporary finish, while gold creates a warmer and more traditional appearance.
A fingerprint ring may be worn as a wedding ring, memorial piece, anniversary ring or personal keepsake. Its meaning is determined by the person whose fingerprint is used and the reason the wearer chooses to carry it.
A FINGERPRINT PENDANT
The fingerprint pendant offers an alternative for someone who wants personalised jewellery without choosing a ring.
It can carry the same emotional connection while remaining easier to gift when ring sizing is unknown. The pendant can be worn close to the body and kept private beneath clothing or worn openly as part of an everyday outfit.
This format may suit birthdays, anniversaries, memorial gifts, family milestones or any occasion where one person wants to keep a physical impression of another close to them.
FINGERPRINT JEWELLERY FOR WEDDINGS
Fingerprint jewellery can give a wedding ring a level of personalisation that goes beyond an engraved date or initials.
One partner’s fingerprint may be placed onto the other partner’s ring, creating a direct physical connection between the two pieces. Couples can also choose different widths, metals or finishes while retaining the shared fingerprint detail.
This allows the rings to relate to one another without needing to be visually identical.
For customers seeking a wedding ring with private meaning, a fingerprint can be both subtle and deeply personal.
WEDDING RINGS WITH TEXTURE AND CHARACTER
Aimee’s collection extends beyond fingerprint jewellery to include textured wedding rings in silver and gold.
These rings offer an alternative to a perfectly polished plain band. Hammered, brushed or softly irregular surfaces give the metal more depth and allow light to move across the ring in different ways.
Textured finishes can also be practical for everyday wear because light marks often blend more naturally into the existing surface than they would on a high-polish band.
The collection includes designs with clean edges, gentle curves and subtle colour contrast, making them suitable for customers who prefer contemporary wedding rings without excessive decoration.
CHOOSING SILVER OR GOLD
The choice between silver and gold affects the colour, weight, price and overall character of a ring.
Sterling silver has a cool, bright appearance and can be a practical option for a contemporary ring or meaningful personalised piece. It may gradually develop tarnish, which can usually be removed with a suitable polishing cloth.
Yellow gold has a warmer and more traditional appearance, while rose gold introduces a softer reddish tone. White gold provides a pale precious-metal finish for customers who prefer the appearance of silver with the qualities of gold.
The best choice depends on personal style, budget and how the piece will be worn.
CHOOSING A RING WIDTH
Ring width has a significant effect on both appearance and comfort.
A narrow band tends to feel lighter and more subtle, while a wider ring creates a stronger visual presence and gives more room for a fingerprint or textured surface.
Wider rings can feel tighter than narrow rings in the same measured size because more metal sits against the finger. Accurate sizing is therefore particularly important before ordering.
Couples do not need to choose the same width. The rings can share a fingerprint, metal or surface treatment while each person selects the proportions that feel right for them.
GETTING THE RING SIZE RIGHT
Have the exact finger measured using a suitable ring sizer before placing an order.
Finger size can differ between hands and may change with temperature, time of day and the width of the ring being considered.
A wide band should ideally be assessed with a wide-band sizer rather than estimated from a narrow ring.
Lord Coconut can assist with sizing and the specific options available for each Aimee Sutanto design.
STERLING SILVER TIE BARS
Aimee’s sterling silver tie bars are clean, understated accessories designed to sit neatly across a tie without unnecessary decoration.
The collection includes different profiles and shapes, allowing customers to choose a tie bar that feels more angular, curved or organic.
A handmade tie bar can add a quiet point of difference to workwear, weddings or formal events while remaining practical and easy to combine with other accessories.
Sterling silver works well with most suit and shirt colours, particularly navy, charcoal, black, white and pale blue.
HOW TO WEAR A TIE BAR
A tie bar should generally sit between the third and fourth shirt buttons, around the middle of the chest.
It should attach both the tie and the shirt placket so the tie remains in place rather than functioning only as decoration.
The tie bar should not extend beyond the full width of the tie. A slightly shorter length usually creates a more balanced appearance.
Aimee’s simple silver designs suit customers who want a refined accessory without logos, coloured enamel or highly decorative detail.
PERSONALISED CUFFLINKS
Aimee also creates cufflinks personalised with initials. These pieces offer a more individual alternative to standard formal accessories while remaining practical for weddings, work functions and special occasions.
Initial cufflinks may represent the wearer’s name, a partner, children or another personal connection.
They can make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries or professional milestones because the design is created specifically for the recipient.
Unlike ring-based gifts, cufflinks do not require sizing, which can make them easier to order as a surprise.
NON-CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
Aimee’s cufflinks and tie bars balance traditional accessory types with contemporary shapes and proportions.
Rather than reproducing standard oval or rectangular forms without change, she uses clean lines, negative space and carefully resolved construction to give familiar accessories a more individual appearance.
This approach is consistent across her collection. Even the most personal fingerprint pieces remain visually restrained and wearable rather than overly sentimental.
JEWELLERY FOR SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS
Aimee Sutanto jewellery is particularly well suited to occasions where the meaning of the piece matters as much as its appearance.
A fingerprint ring may mark a wedding or preserve a connection to someone important. A textured wedding band can become part of everyday married life. Initial cufflinks may celebrate a graduation or professional milestone, while a tie bar can complete an outfit for a significant event.
The jewellery works because the personal story is supported by thoughtful design and skilled making rather than being added as an afterthought.
A THOUGHTFUL MEMORIAL PIECE
Fingerprint jewellery can also be created as a memorial piece, allowing the wearer to keep a unique physical detail connected to someone who has died.
This use requires sensitivity, particularly when obtaining and preparing the fingerprint. The finished jewellery can remain private and meaningful without openly displaying a name or date.
A ring or pendant may provide a lasting connection that feels more personal than conventional memorial jewellery.
The suitability of a supplied fingerprint should be discussed before the piece is ordered.
HANDMADE RATHER THAN MASS-PRODUCED
Aimee’s jewellery is handmade and individually finished rather than produced as anonymous factory stock.
Small variations in texture, engraving and finishing are part of the process and help preserve the connection between the jeweller, the customer and the finished piece.
This is especially important with fingerprint jewellery, where the individual detail is the reason the piece exists.
Choosing handmade jewellery also supports the specialist skills needed to continue designing and making jewellery locally in Australia.
CARING FOR AIMEE SUTANTO JEWELLERY
Remove rings before activities that may expose them to strong impact, harsh chemicals or unnecessary abrasion.
Sterling silver may gradually tarnish through contact with air, moisture, perfumes and cleaning products. A suitable silver polishing cloth can help maintain brighter areas.
Use care when polishing textured or fingerprint surfaces so the detail and contrast are preserved.
Store jewellery somewhere clean and dry when it is not being worn, preferably in its original box or a soft pouch.
