Silver Fingerprint Jewellery - How old does a baby need to be?

This is a question that we get asked a lot and it's actually an important consideration when choosing the type of fingerprint / handprint jewellery you want to buy.

There is no hard rule on when a child's fingerprint develops, as every child is different, but a fingerprint generally becomes defined at around six months of age.  This is why we suggest hand or foot prints for babies under 6 months, as it's likely that the fingerprint print will not be as defined as you would like.

How will I know?  Our fingerprint kits capture the finest detail, so whatever you can see on your child's finger, will be replicated on the mould and transferred onto your piece of finished jewellery.

If you have a really young baby and want to buy a piece of jewellery for a special occassion, such as a birthday or Christmas, and can't wait for  - we would suggest that you purchase the handprint / footprint kit.

It's important to purchase the correct kit as they are both different.  For taking fingerprints we supply two putty like substances, which you combine and create a mould with (don't panic - it's straightforward and instructions are provided!).  For a hand or foot print, we send inkless wipes to capture the print.

We have lots of information on our website, should you have any other questions - please see: How silver fingerprint jewellery is made  |   Fingerprint Jewellery - FAQ's   |   Tips for capturing the fingerprint / handprint

Silver Fingerprint Jewellery Kits - How do they work?

Fingerprint jewellery kits, like baby casting kits, are becoming increasingly popular and a more affordable alternative to having your child's prints taken in a shop or studio.  Yet the outcome is likely to be just the same. 

As with home baby casting, kits are provided with instructions so that you can easily take the prints (fingerprints, handprints or footprints) from the comfort of your own home.  Not only does this cost you less but it is also much more convenient for you and your child.

What is the process?

1.       Once you have purchased your item of jewellery online, you will be sent a kit with instructions usually within 1-2 days, depending on the retailer.

2.       Using the kit you will take your child’s prints. 

a.      Fingerprints are taken using a putty like compound which is firmly moulded around the end of the finger, to take the print. 

b.      For Handprints and footprints, you will be sent an inkless print kit to take the prints.  You should be sent enough for a couple of attempts in case you are not happy with your first.

3.      Along with your kit you are usually sent an order form that asks you to confirm the charm shape that you would like, the details of the inscription and any other details such as alternate delivery address.

4.       You will be asked to send both the prints and order form back to the retailer.  At For Keep's Sake, we provide you with a pre-paid and addressed envelope, to make the process even easier. 

5.       Your unique piece of keepsake jewellery will then be specially hand crafted and returned to you within approx 2 weeks. Again this may vary according to the retailer.

What is the outcome?

There should be little difference in the final piece of jewellery between a home fingerprint kit and one where the prints have been taken in a shop or studio.  

The kits are designed for you to take a quality print of your little one and because the finished item is hand crafted by professional jewellery makers, the quality of the item will still be high.

Again the finish could vary across retailers, but we pride ourselves on creating fine pieces of jewellery that are lovingly made with exceptional attention to detail.

if you are looking to purchase, our fingerprint/ handprint / footprint jewellery starts at £32.00 and all of our charms are 99.9% silver.   If you have any questions, take a look at our Fingerprint Jewellery FAQs or feel free to Contact Us or Comment below.
