Covid 19 - Closed Due To Tier 4 Restrictions
Due to Essex currently being in Tier 4, First Treasures will have to remain closed as we are classed as ‘non-essential’ retail. Once these restrictions have been lifted, we will reopen; please see information below:
The health and safety of my customers is my absolute priority.
I have completely changed the way castings will be conducted during the pandemic. Castings are carried out in my studio and adjoining room in order to maintain strict social distancing of over 2m throughout. I will advise / coach customers during the casting process in order to capture the perfect casting.
All equipment will be thoroughly sanitised in between castings. Gloves will be provided for customers on arrival. Customers are required to wear masks throughout the casting and I will be wearing a mask as well. Payment by bank transfer only.
It is necessary to book a casting appointment. The turnaround time for castings is 4-5 weeks.
About Us
Since opening in 2013, First Treasures has created over 2000 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.
Our fingerprint jewellery range is made from pure silver, and it includes gorgeous necklaces, charms, key rings and cufflinks in various designs.
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.

"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."

"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."

"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."
