Getting a good readable, fingerprint of your baby isn't always the easiest task. So here's what we recommend.

1. Try getting the fingerprint while your little one is sleeping. 

2. Have all your supplies ready to go and easily accessible. Supplies you will need are: -pencil-paper or whatever material you want the fingerprint transferred to-something sturdy to place the paper on so you are not bending the paper while trying to get the print. -a few baby wipes for quick clean up

3. Team up! If someone else is around, then have them help out by handing you the supplies so you can move quickly and efficiently. 

4. Get more than one print. Get as many prints as you can while you are getting messy, this way you have lots to choose from. 

Our top 4 quick tips for getting the best pet silhouette photos: 

1. Have your pet stand or sit. Any background is OK. If possible have someone assist you by holding a treat out of camera view and tell your pet to sit while you take the photo. 

2. Make sure the camera is at the same level as the subject's head. 

3. Take the picture straight from one side. 

4. Take as many photos as you can. If you are taking the photo using an iphone you can press and hold the shot button and capture many photos in seconds. Then simply choose the best photos and send them into us. If you are not sure which photos will work the best you can send us an email and have us review them for you at info@meirako.com

JEWELRY CARE.

This ones at the top because it is so important!

Exposure to moisture in the air can wear down your jewelry whether it be sterling silver, gold-filled or gold vermeil. No matter how high the quality of metals are, over time this exposure causes oxidation and discoloration. If you are not wearing it, then storing it properly is key! Follow these simple and easy storage tips and your  jewelry will last a lifetime.

• Before storing your special piece, wipe it down with a soft cloth to remove any oils that may be on it from wearing it close to your skin. This will also help to remove any dirt and give it a fresh shine.

• Once it is wiped down, place it in a small individual anti-tarnish pouch or ziploc bag. You’ll want to make sure you get rid of as much air as possible before sealing it to prevent exposure to air.

• Whichever method you choose, the anit-tarnish pouch or the Ziploc bag, ensure it is not stored near a heat source and doesn’t have any weight on it. This can cause discoloration and deformation.
