A year can pass by so quickly for so many of us, but new mothers notice the passage of time far more than most, given that nearly every day with a newborn brings with it a new milestone.
One of the most meaningful moments of a parent’s life is their baby’s first Christmas, and one of the best ways to celebrate such a deeply meaningful moment in the life of both parent and child is through a personalised gold casting of a baby’s hands.
Available in a variety of materials from nine-carat gold to silver, bronze, nickel, glass and plaster in a frame, baby castings are a way to make lasting memories of ephemeral moments, and capture a time when everything changes so quickly, including your baby.
The process is simple; book a session where an expert caster can come to visit and take impressions using a casting liquid. Once this half-hour process is done, the impressions are then turned into a wax cast that is perfected and filled with the chosen material, before they are delicately wrapped, packaged and sent to you.
Engraving is available to make it clear what moment the casting has captured and serve as a reminder of how far your child has come over the years.
This is often done directly, although a remote process is available for people who live too far away to make a home visit feasible where impressions can be taken by a parent.
Parenthood has a fleeting beauty to it, as so many parents can attest to blinking and seeing their newborn turn into a toddler, then go to school, college and flee the nest.
This makes capturing these milestone moments all the more vital and why a solid imprint that memorialises a baby’s first moments of beautiful life is so incredibly special.
