First impressions last

Searching for jewellery to appeal to a hip new mum or dad? Tired of seeing those same cutesie photo lockets and bracelets with twee charms? Check out the range of funky dog tags, pendants and even cufflinks by Smallprint, a UK-based company that creates gorgeous silver jewellery adorned with your baby's fingerprint. The process involves dipping your little one's digits in a substance called precious metal clay which is then fired in a kiln to form solid silver. Smallprint products can also feature your child's name, age and a short message on the front or back. Visit the web site for details.
