Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the whole process take?

Your order will be completed 14 days from receipt of the impression back into the studio! You will receive a phone call /e-mail to let you know the order is ready. Then if you are an internet order the product will be sent out to you by ‘signed for’ delivery. Individual collection or delivery requirements will have been discussed with local customers / party hosts at the time the impression was taken.

If you have a tight deadline to meet do discuss this with me as I can often help.

What's the best way to get a good fingerprint impression?
If you are an internet customer you will be sent an impression kit to take your baby/child’s print. The impression kit contains simple instructions on to how to achieve the best fingerprint impression from your baby/child. If your baby/child is particularly young or fidgety the kit enables you to take the impression whilst they are sleeping! Once completed you post the impression back to me in the pre-paid envelope provided. I will always acknowledge receipt of the impression by e-mail.
Local or group party customers who see me personally will have had the prints taken quickly and easily by myself directly into the clay.

Do you make special requests?
Yes! Please give me a call to discuss any ideas you might have and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

What is pure solid silver?
The fingerprint jewellery you receive from me is 99.9% pure solid silver! (As a comparison sterling silver is 92.5% pure with the remainder made up with other trace metals). The chains and cufflinks and tie slides provided with the fingerprint jewellery are sterling silver.

How old does my baby need to be?
There is no minimum age ! All babies are born with fingerprints however the ridges become more prominent over time, so before 6 months you may have a lovely unique finger ‘dimple’ in the jewellery rather than a clear visible whorl. Every baby is different and I have had some nice prints from several 8 week olds.

Adult fingerprint jewellery also makes a lovely gift!
