I got a charm done of DS's thumb for DP when he was 1 year old from precious charms. They were excellent with their service and it turned out beautifully.
Hi Loula. I got my fingerprint pendants back today and I LOVE them as I said they were taken at 10 weeks and I think they look great. Obviously there isn't the 'clearest' fingerprint like an adult would have but there are lines on it and you can tell that it's a finger print kwim. I was going to be happy with the indentation of his little finger tip anyway so I think at 3 month olds the prints would turn out really clear.
Claytime did send a kit. From what I found smallprint was the only one who took the print directly. I thought that was pretty cool which is why I was going to go through them but I as I said I was annoyed with the local rep as I drove so far and she couldn't engrave what she had told me she could in an email so I was almost going to give up on the idea. I then did some more google searching and found these guys who were also cheaper and thought it didn't really matter that the print is taken from a mold. The selling point from smallprint is that your child actually touched the jewelery but hey I'll get DS to put his finger in the fingerprint pendant I have now and it'll still feel like he's touched it kwim Anyway if someone else comes across this thread they will know that 10 week old prints do turn out looking good and cute I'm sure you'll love yours when you get it done.
