The fingerprint impressions featured on the Jewellery on our website range from babies to adults impressions. We have tried to include as wide a range of different impressions as possible to give customers a true and fair indication as to the differences in each impression.
All fingerprint impressions are unique and individual, and therefore each impression will be different.

Fingerprint Impressions
We will supply enough impression compound to take 2 impressions of each fingerprint. If you are not happy with your impressions, please let us know and we will send out another kit free of charge. If a returned fingerprint is deemed by us to be unusable, we will contact you to let you know and send out a new Impression Kit. All our Fingerprint Jewellery will show an exact copy of the impression that you have taken, so please ensure that you are happy with the impression you have taken before returning. Example impressions are available upon request if you are unsure of how your impression should look.
Hand and Footprint Impressions ar taken using a non-messy inkless wipe, as used in maternity units.

Please ensure that you are happy with your impressions before returning to us. We will only contact you if you have not taken your impressions correctly or used the impression compound incorrectly. We cannot be held responsible for impressions not being as detailed as the customer may wish, ordering the incorrect item, or name misspelling by the customer.

Impression Compound should be used within 1 week of receiving your Impression Kit as the compound will begin to deteriorate after this time. If you require a new kit after this period a charge of £5.00 will be made.

No charge will be made for a 2nd Fingerprint Impression Kit, but there will be a charge of £5.00 for any further kits sent.
A charge of £5.00 will also be made for any extra Hand/Footprint kits.

Text.
Text can be added to the reverse of Charms, Pendants and Keyrings but not Cufflinks. There is no extra charge for this. If your requested text i.e. name or date will not fit onto the front of an item of Jewellery, whether this is because the text is too long, or the impression is large, we will put it on the reverse of the Jewellery, unless you have specifically requested for it to go on the front of the item in the 'Special Requirements' section of the order form, when we will contact you to discuss.

Returns
We take great pride in our craftsmanship and hope that you will be happy with your purchase. We will only offer to repair or replace an item that is damaged or faulty, Any item that contains a mistake such a s a misspelt name will be remade free of charge. We cannot accept returns on bespoke personalised orders.

All our Jewellery is quality checked and tested before sending out, please check your Jewellery upon receipt for faults, damage or name misspelling and contact us within 7 days. We only use the highest quality findings and fittings, our Sterling Silver Jump Rings are heavy duty for extra strength, and our Sterling Silver Cufflink Fittings are specially made to order and are strength tested before sending out. Please treat your Jewellery with care as Cufflink Fittings may break and Jump Rings can open if handled roughly.
The Customer ackowledges that due to the purity of fine silver, .999 jewellery is softer than .925 silver and therefore needs to be handled with special care. If worn every day the item may show signs of wear and tear and the detail may fade. This is more prevalent with charm bracelets and keyrings which are more prone to being knocked against hard surfaces.
