We have a wealth of experience under our belts and we know our customers have many questions when buying such a precious keepsake. We'll try to answer those questions for you below but if your specific inquiry is not addressed here don't hesitate to get in touch.
Absolutely! Each and every piece we craft is made from a paw print sent in by the customer and just like a fingerprint, every paw print is different.
No, we don't. We tried it once on our cat and he was very scared and I felt very bad. I then tried it on myself and it was uncomfortable, even though I knew what I was doing. I wouldn't wish to do to my pet what I am not comfortable doing to myself. What's more, there is a danger that small pieces of the putty could get caught in your pet's nasal hairs and inhaled.
You will! Nobody knows their pet as well as its owner and we want them to feel comfortable while having their print taken.
We will send you one of our Inkless Paw Print Kits to take the print. It’s clean, safe and really easy to use. The kit itself contains clear, simple instructions.
You can either return your print to us in the pre-paid envelope, OR you can scan in your print and email it to us.

Our turnaround time is usually four weeks. We take time to make sure your pieces are finished to perfection. However, if you have a special birthday or anniversary and you've left it a bit late, let us know and we will see if we can finish your piece in time.
All silver does tarnish naturally. There are many things that can cause silver to tarnish, but the most common causes are wool, food (eggs, onions, mayonnaise), rubber bands, latex gloves and certain paints. Oily salts from fingers can also tarnish silver. Silver will tarnish much more quickly in humid environments.
You can remove light tarnish by using a gentle washing up liquid and warm water. Carefully brush with a soft bristle brush, such as an old toothbrush. After brushing, simply rinse with lukewarm water and allow to dry. Frequent light cleanings are preferable to waiting until the tarnish gets so stubborn that more abrasive polishes have to be employed.
If your paw print item tarnishes more, you can polish it with silver polish or a silver cloth, it should come up shiny as new. Chains can be soaked in a silver dip (following the manufacturer's instructions). Do not however dip your paw print piece as it will remove the antiqued effect.
Yes our pieces are now made of sterling silver.
Precious metal clay, because of its purity, is a relatively soft metal. If an item is worn every day or hung on a chain with lots of other items or on a key ring, it will gradually age.
