I have more than one child, can you make me a set of 2 or 3 charms to accommodate this?
Absolutely, we can create sibling charms of 2 or 3 cascading charms with names on each charm. Please see options available or email us with your requirements. Please note, 3 or more charms will usually need to be hallmarked and thus will incur an extra charge, we will confirm this when you are ready to place an order with us.
We can also create double-sided charms to accommodate more than 1 print with names. Again, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
How do I decide the size of charm I need?
You can refer to the charm size guide here. In general terms:
- A medium charm is usually picked for charm bracelets and chains.
- A medium charm can fit one print and one name. (This size is best for a child’s fingerprint)
- A large charm is usually picked for chains.
- A large charm can fit one print and a name. (This size is best for an adult fingerprint)
- A small charm can only fit 1 print such as 1 fingerprint or 1 handprint/footprint (This size is dinky and is best for a baby or young child.)
