About Us
Since opening nearly 10 years ago, First Treasures has created over 2500 beautifully handcrafted framed and freestanding 3d hand and foot casts, handclasp sculptures and outprint tiles of all the family.
Once out of the mould, any imperfections are removed painstakingly by hand to ensure that each cast captures every last detail of the hands and feet; jewellery, finger nails, joints and palm lines are all clearly visible in each finished product.
First Treasures casting techniques are safe and gentle for children right from birth. All of our 3d casts and 2d outprint tiles are available in a variety of finishes, with a choice of 7 frame types and an infinite selection of mount colours and combinations, making each piece truly individual.
We create a wide range of beautiful personalised jewellery, capturing those unique, fingerprints, handprints, footprints and pawprints in stunning silver. All of our hand, foot and fingerprint jewellery pieces are made to order with each piece unique.
All major credit cards accepted. Gift Vouchers for castings are available and make perfect gifts for Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Christenings.
The Studio
Covid 19 - No Contact Safe Casting Service
The health and safety of my customers is my absolute priority.
Despite Covid 19 restrictions lifting, whilst case numbers are so high, I will continue to be taking the following precautions. I therefore politely ask for customers co-operation in this.
- Castings are carried out in my studio and adjoining room in order to maintain strict social distancing of over 2m throughout.
- All equipment will be thoroughly sanitised in between castings.
- Customers are required to sanitise their hands using the gel provided before entering the studio.
- Customers are required to wear masks throughout the casting (I will be wearing a mask too).
- Payment by card preferred.
- The turnaround time for castings is 4-5 weeks.
- For those of you that would still prefer not to come to the studio, the very successful zoom castings will still be offered.
- Completed orders are to be collected from my studio.
- Booking is required for all castings; to check availability and to book in, click the ‘Book A Casting’ button.

"Love love love first treasures and Laura x I love Laura’s castings so much I have had 21 individual pieces made, from my daughters hands and feet castings at different ages, mine with my eldest, my daughters hands together, my husbands hand with our youngest as well as hand/feet impressions and I love every single one of them and it is so lovely to have the reminder of how small they once were. Laura is lovely and welcoming and is so patient especially if you are like me and don’t always know what you want exactly. I love them so much I don’t mind travelling to get them done and would recommend first treasures to anyone."

Purchased a baby/ newborn hands and feet impression sculpture picture frame. The lady from First Treasures was extremely friendly and welcoming on arrival. Remained very professional, caring throughout. We could tell she was very experienced with children (having her own) and our new born (6 weeks) health was always put first. Studio was extremely clean and a lovely sight to see. I also really appreciate the strict guidelines around Covid throughout. Again, it just makes your little one protected (which counts above all else) Final product was incredible and my wife (plus myself) are extremely impressed with it. Highly recommended and something we will cherish throughout our lifetime.

"Absolutely love my frame - had my 4 week old baby girls hand and feet cast for a ‘love’ frame. Laura was happy to accommodate my requests for the start and the end result is everything I wanted. Was able to easily pick a time that suited me for the appointment with the booking app and my frame was ready ahead of time. Friendly efficient service and cheaper than other companies. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about having something done - the only problem would be making a decision if you don’t know what you would like as it looks so good you will love it all."

Laura makes the most beautiful casts and so perfectly presented. She was an absolute pleasure throughout the whole process and her procedures are all very covid safe.
She is brilliant and engaging with children and everything is done with complete ease. Would highly recommend Laura's services.

"Laura casted our daughters hand and foot when she was 3 weeks old in a beautiful frame with engraving. It’s so precious to us and looks amazing. She was lovely and welcoming and kept us updated with the making of it. We went back 8 months later to have some special Christmas keepsakes presents made for grandparents. We had 4 hand print tree baubles made and a globe with her hand casting inside. These went down really well with the grandparents and will be treasured forever. Also a really reasonable price point! I’m sure we will see Laura again. Definitely recommend."

Cannot recommend first treasures highly enough... Laura cast my biggest baby 5 years ago and now my recent baby, she also did me the honor of Framing my angle baby casts that were done by the hospital so they matched my other 2... These are by far my favourite keepsake from my babies... Thank you Laura 🙂
