The Double Sided Fingerprint Pendant

Yes. We capture all ages, from newborns through to adult sized fingerprints. Our process is suited for most ages, however it is necessary that the fingerprint has visible lines on it.

Newborn fingerprints develop in the womb from 22 weeks, so they will be present on a newborn child. Whilst we have produced keepsakes from as young as a few days old, please note newborn fingerprints can be shallow and fine, so having a close-up check to see if the lines are visible will be able to determine if a print can be captured.

For newborn and children fingerprints, we endeavor to keep these as true to size as possible for the final piece of jewellery. However, if you wish to provide measurements upon the return of your digital prints, please add these into the notes section when you upload them. 

For adult prints (which may be larger than our pendants), we use our engraving technology to scale these down, whilst keeping the ratio and fingerprint detail in perfect condition for the final engraving

We accept any existing fingerprint, paw print, hand print or footprint. You do not need to use our Deja Marc fingerprint kit. We simply provide our fingerprint kits as most people don't have a print on file already.

If you have an existing fingerprint, select NO to needing a kit and an upload function appears. Please attach a clear image of your fingerprint / paw print here and commence the checkout process. 

If you wish for the team to qualify the quality of your print before you place an order, simply send this through to hello@dejamarc.com and the team will be able to review this for you.

We know it’s important for you to capture the best fingerprint, so we have produced full instructions and a How To video on our process page. If you still have questions after reading this page, send us an email to hello@dejamarc.com 

Our top tips to capture a fingerprint include:
-  If you are capturing a baby or child's fingerprint, we recommend doing this when they are relaxed or sleepy so their little hands are relaxed.
- If you are seeing a dark blob you are pressing too hard. Attempt a tap instead of a hard press.
- Do not roll your finger. Just simply tap it down on the print paper.

It's important to know that we do tidy up your fingerprints so they don't need to be perfect. If there is a smudge or a line is broken, don't worry, we will clean this up for you whilst ensuring the design remains aesthetically identical to your prints. 

If you’re trying to capture a paw print, we understand it can sometimes be a little daunting. Our key tips are to groom your pet, use treats and pick the right time of day. If you don't get it perfect, we can always tidy your print up for you and remove smudge!
