WWYD DH 40'th birthday gift

[dragonstail]

Utterly 1st world problem. Apologies.

It's my husbands 40th soon. I found the a person who does very plain cuff links with finger prints on. I took separate prints of a finger and a thumb from my son. They've just come back today - and are stunning! But clearly the same print on both. As they're finger prints it's obvious!

I don't know if I'm being fussy or UR to ask why/ if one could be the second print I sent? Two print were sent. Unless it's a genuine mistake?

What a lovely idea for a present. I would ask about the thumb print, if there's time I would wait till you get it and then package the present. If there isn't enough time, I would go ahead and package the present but still ask for the thumb print one and tell DH there might be an additional cuff link on its way! :) They will probably just send another one out...

Just ask...it might be that you needed to buy two pairs to get two different prints, or it might just have been an oversight.

This happened to me with an engraved item, they added a fathers day message but it was actually a birthday gift (around same time as fathers day) they sent another and it's was personalised item we got to keep the first one too.

Hi, I used to run a fingerprint jewellery franchise. Did you specifically ask for each cufflink to have a different print on them? If so then yes please go back to them. If not then she would have likely picked the best looking print to make the pair. I can't remember being asked to do different prints on each cufflink unless doing 2 different kids.

Thanks hot water - good point. I believe I did as I described a finger on one and a thumb on the other - however when I checked if the prints were too big she said she adjusted (I guess you can make the area smaller. I did fine art and did a bit of casting myself) so I wonder if she took the best print. I'll just check with her.

Incidentally, how did you get into it? I've looooong considered becoming a silver smith myself.

Yes the prints can be adjusted easily. I wonder if she has scaled down too much & they are different. If you send me a pic I could tell you. You can scale down hand & footprints too.
But please check with her, she won't mind & would rather you happy!
I bought a franchise. I had no experience at all.

I messaged her and she explained it was the best print taken; I imagine 4 sets sent out for two children. It's fine they're gorgeous!

Still thinking about setting up as a silver smith mind you.... !

(I realise it's silver clay!)

I love this idea! Totally want to steal it. Can you post a link?
