This item can be purchased for use with adults, children, infants + pets (I have taken impressions from cats, dogs + ferrets), and is safe for each.

As 1 piece of wax = 1 piece of finished jewellery, and is melted in the process of creating the jewellery, if you wish to duplicate a wax print, you will need to purchase a Master Mould. Please get in touch with any questions about this process, or head to the FAQ page for more information.

1. Once your order has been placed, you will receive a Fingerprint Kit in the mail with instructions on how to get the best print.

2. There are 3 pieces of wax per fingerprint piece ordered - ensure that you use all 3 as it's good for me to have options. An addressed return post label will be included in your package so that you can send your prints back to me.

3. Once I receive your impressions back, I will review them and be in touch only if there are any issues. To create the fingerprint in metal, I use traditional lost wax casting and as each piece is handmade, it takes approximately 4-6 weeks from when I receive the finished wax impressions back from you until you receive a dispatch notification.

1. These pendants are very organic in nature and as a result, each piece will vary in shape, size and finish. No 2 pieces are ever the same. To make this shape it is required that I cut away some of the print, so please be aware of that when taking the impression.

2. I can only make a finished piece as good as the print you take, so it is very important that you read the instructions carefully + reach out if you have any questions about the process. I am always happy to look at photos of the waxes before you send them back to me.

3. I can improve and fix small imperfections, but how you take the impression is mostly how it will turn out in metal. If the impressions are not taken correctly or are unable to be used, you will be charged $40 for your kit to be sent back to you to try again.

4. Due to the nature of lost wax casting, 1 wax print = 1 finished fingerprint. Once an order is completed I do not keep any remaining or unused waxes, so if you would like me to send them back to you with your final order please get in touch to let me know.

5. Due to fluctuating metal prices, you have 6 months from the date of purchase to complete your wax impressions and send them back. Additional fees will apply if your impressions are returned outside of this timeframe.

A note on age - whilst children under 1 do not have fully developed fingerprints, I have a specialised method for taking impressions from infants from birth, which is detailed in the instructions. Please take a moment to look at the infant impression option to familiarise yourself with the general look of these impressions before proceeding with your order.

Your kit will be dispatched within 1-2 days of purchase through Australia Post and you will receive a tracking number via email.

Whilst handmade things do take time, I am always be willing to work toward a specific date if required. If you would like to discuss this prior to purchasing, please get in touch and I’d be happy to discuss this further.

A pre-paid return postage label is included in all orders (for Australian customers ONLY).

The timeframe for receiving a finished piece does depend largely on you and also the time of year. It generally takes 4-6 weeks from when I receive the finished wax impressions back from you in the mail until you receive a dispatch notification that the final piece is on its way to you. Once your order has been finished, you will receive an email with a final tracking number.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: You are welcome to purchase this item, but will be required to organise postage of the wax kits back to me at your own cost. There will not be a return post satchel provided in your kit. International customers will also need to be aware of their own countries customs as well as. If you are an international customer, I will be in touch via email prior to dispatching your kit to ensure you are aware of these details and with further information on how to return your kit.
