Q&A
Due
to the uniqueness of the Loveprints concept and designs, we have compiled
a summary of some of the frequently asked questions we have encountered.
Child
vs. Adult Prints
Infants and children do not develop deep finger print impressions until
later in life, so adult prints will show more grain in the actual print.
Children's prints are impressions of the finger size and shape, capturing
and preserving a childhood moment in time. Adult prints will look more
like a finger print while children and infants will be an impression.
Some people may want to take imprints of the same child over and over
as the years pass and include them all on one bracelet. Others will
want to include one imprint of each family member at the same time.
Whatever it may be, each print will be unique depending on the age of
the child or adult. The photo pictured below depicts the difference
between an adult and an infant/child print.
Variation
in Size and Print
There will also be a variation in the size of each print depending on
the size of the finger and the pressure that is applied when the actual
imprint is taken. The above picture depicts an illustration of this.
These imprints were made from the same amount of imprint clay. They
vary in size when finished due to the amount of pressure applied when
the imprint was taken and the difference in size of the finger used
for the impression.
Size
of the Finished Print
The size of the finished print will be about 2/3 the size of the actual
imprint clay. There is a little shrinkage that occurs in the finishing
and design process.
Sterling
Silver
The finished impression is the highest quality sterling silver available
(.999 sterling silver).
Engraving
One of the unique features of Loveprints is that you can wear it with
either the engraved side or the imprint side showing. Each Loveprint
is engraved on the back with a monogram, initials, date of birth, anniversary,
or an item of your choice (up to 5 characters). The possibilities are
endless!
Artistic
Design
Each Loveprint is a freeform sterling silver nugget and the shape may
vary depending on the imprint.
