Baby Handprint and Footprint Ornament, Medallion

The Ornament

A plain round medallion edged in fine beading, your baby's handprint and footprint raised at the centre.

The quietest shape of the six. It reads as a keepsake rather than as a decoration, which is why it suits a first Christmas.

Craftsmanship

Electroformed metal over a sculpted form, finished in antique brass. The prints and the lettering stand proud of a blackened ground, so the piece reads by contrast rather than by outline, which is what carries under tree lights.

Personalization

Ink your baby's hand and foot on plain paper and photograph the sheets. We model both prints at their own size, with the creases and the soft edges left in. Then the name in capitals, a short line underneath — our Christmas miracle, my first Christmas, our little star — and the year. A preview comes back by email before anything is made.
