Remember to watch the video before starting now.
We have also collected a number of good tips that may be useful before you make the impression.
Imprint of baby/kid or pet
Imprint adult (+8 years)
Imprint of
Children under 3 years old
On very young children, the fingerprint is not very clear yet, so you can take the print under their foot or inside the palm of their hand. Their print, just like their fingerprint, is completely unique and a nice reminder of how small they once were.
You will receive the same kit with the two-component silicone, the impression will only be taken where you think it is most clear.
imprint of
Pet
You can have an imprint made of any pet you have, the two-component silicone is easy to work with, non-sticky and not harmful to your animal.
You have about 90 seconds after mixing to take the imprint of your pet. Here, treats or other bait can be a good idea. If you have any questions about how to take the imprint of your pet, you are always welcome to contact us before you get started.
Imprint of
Adults and children +3 years
Every fingerprint is unique. When you make your fingerprint in the two-component silicone, you can immediately see the fine little lines that will be transferred to your jewelry.
The silicone is soft and to get a nice impression, your finger must be gently pressed into the silicone. If you press too hard, the impression may be smeared. Always watch the tutorial video before you start.
Imprint of your child
When you order a piece of jewelry from Touch Copenhagen, you help create your own unique piece of jewelry.
You will receive a package with a folder that guides you step by step through how to mix the two silicone materials, how you and your child make the impression - it is completely harmless and does not get dirty.
Please note that babies' fingerprints are not as clear, we recommend waiting until they are 3+ months old.
When you are satisfied with the print, send it back to us.
Then it is our turn to create the jewelry when we receive the print from you.
We transfer your child's fingerprint to a wax version of the chosen piece of jewelry and adjust it all by hand. Then your piece of jewelry is cast in silver and polished again by hand for the perfect look.
Remember that the jewelry is handmade, and none of the jewelry will be the same, the shape cannot always be maintained 100% and small irregularities etc. may occur. This helps to make the jewelry your own and unique.
If you have chosen the gold-plated jewelry, this is the last thing that will be added.
Finally, we will send your final jewelry to your home.
