Ordering & Process
Visit our Shop page, choose your product (silhouette illustration, charm, or gift card), and complete checkout. After ordering, upload your profile photo through our Photo Upload page using your order number. We’ll take it from here!
Our digital illustration is a high-resolution file you can print yourself at any size. An art print is a physical, archival-quality print we produce and ship to you. Both start with the same hand-refined silhouette — you choose how you’d like to receive it.
Yes! Family groupings are one of our most popular options. For illustrations, we compose multiple silhouettes together. For jewelry, you can add multiple charms to a single chain. Upload one clear profile photo per person.
Just one great profile photo per person. A true 90° side profile with natural lighting works best. Check our Photo Guide for tips on capturing the perfect shot.
Yes — just include your original order number or email address when uploading your photo, and we’ll match the style. This is especially common for families adding a new child to an existing set.
02
Photos & Quality
A good profile photo shows a true side view (90°), is taken at eye level, and shows the nose, lips, chin, and neckline clearly. Natural lighting and a simple background help most. Visit our detailed Photo Guide for visual examples of what works and what doesn’t.
Absolutely! Email your photo to hello@dapperdarling.com and we’ll let you know if it will work well — before you place your order. No charge, no obligation.
Hair is one of the most personal parts of the silhouette. We capture it exactly as it appears in your photo — curls, wisps, ponytails, and all. That’s why we recommend photographing your child with their hair the way they usually wear it.
Our prints are produced on archival-grade paper with inks rated to last 100+ years without fading. The exact stock varies by product, but every material is chosen for longevity and quality.
03
Products & Materials
All jewelry is crafted from solid 14k gold or sterling silver — never plated, never filled, never hollow. Each piece is hand-engraved by our goldsmith in Athens, Greece using traditional techniques. The result is an heirloom-quality piece designed to last generations.
Store your charm in a dry place when not wearing it. For gold, a soft cloth wipe is all you need. For sterling silver, a jewelry polishing cloth will restore shine if patina develops. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfume, and chlorine.
04
Shipping & Returns
Yes! We ship to most countries worldwide. International shipping rates and timelines vary by destination and are calculated at checkout. Jewelry orders from Greece may have separate tracking once they ship from the goldsmith’s studio. Usually it takes between 10-16 days of shipping.
Because every piece is custom-made from your photograph, we’re unable to accept returns. However, we send you a proof for approval before production — so you’ll love your piece before we make it. If there’s ever an issue with quality, please contact us and we’ll make it right.
Yes — all domestic orders ship with tracking. You’ll receive an email with your tracking number as soon as your order ships. International orders also include tracking, though visibility may vary by destination.

It all depends on our season! We have two pre-orders every year. Rush season starts in October and goes until December. Slow season then goes from December until March. After that, rush season picks back up from March-June. After that, it will be slow season until we hit our Christmas preorder again in October!

It shows what type of photos we need at the bottom to create the perfect silhouette. If you are still wondering if it is a good photo. Please email: HELLO@DAPPERDARLING.COM with your photos and we can help you!
We only require 1 photo and only 1 photo. For mostly all circumstances, we are only able to use 1 photo to create the entire silhouette. We are unable to combine two photos together to create it.
Nope! & that is totally expected. We have a printing supplier & an engraving supplier so anything that is printed gets shipped together & anything that is engraved gets shipped together from two different places!
If you click on the product listing, you can choose the wash/wreath combo you would like, choose if you want a print or digital, and the sizing as well! After that, the product listing photo will change to each wreath/wash combo and you can see which combination you like best 🙂
The paper you will be receiving your art prints on is 120# Cotton cardstock Eggshell paper with just a touch of texture. They are packaged in sturdy envelopes and shipped via FedEx

Payments are managed through the Affirm app or website. You can set up autopay or make manual payments each month.

AFfirm Financing
Buy and receive your purchase right away, and pay for it over several months. This payment option allows you to split the price of your purchase into fixed payment amounts that fit your monthly budget.
If Affirm approves your loan, you’ll see your loan terms before you make your purchase. See exactly how much you owe each month, the number of payments you must make, and the total amount of interest you’ll pay over the course of the loan. There are no hidden fees.
The application process is secure and real-time. Affirm asks you for a few pieces of information. After you provide this information, Affirm notifies you of the loan amount that you’re approved for, the interest rate, and the number of months that you have to pay off your loan — all within seconds.You don’t need a credit card to make a purchase. Affirm lends to the merchant directly on your behalf.
You may be eligible for Affirm financing even if you don’t have an extensive credit history. Affirm bases its loan decision not only on your credit score, but also on several other data points about you.
Affirm reminds you by email and SMS before your upcoming payment is due. Enable Autopay to schedule automatic monthly payments on your loan.
To sign up for Affirm, you must:
– Must be a resident of the U.S. (including U.S. territories).
– Be 18 years or older (19 if you’re a ward of the state in Nebraska)
– Have a Social Security number.
– Own a phone number that receives SMS and is registered to the United States or U.S. territories
Affirm loan-application process steps:
- At checkout, choose Pay with Affirm.
- Affirm prompts you to enter a few pieces of information: Name, email, mobile phone number, date of birth, and the last four digits of your social security number. This information must be consistent and your own.
- To ensure that you’re the person making the purchase, Affirm sends a text message to your cell phone with a unique authorization code.
- Enter the authorization code into the application form. Within a few seconds, Affirm notifies you of the loan amount you’re approved for, the interest rate, and the number of months you have to pay off your loan. You have the option to pay off your loan over three, six, or twelve months. Affirm states the amount of your fixed, monthly payments and the total amount of interest you’ll pay over the course of the loan.
- To accept Affirm’s financing offer, click Confirm Loan and you’re done.
After your purchase, you’ll receive monthly email and SMS reminders about your upcoming payments. You can also set up autopay to avoid missing a payment.
Your first monthly payment is due 30 days from the date that we (the merchant) processes your order.
Affirm may sometimes need more information about your finances and your ability to repay in order to make a credit decision. If you are prompted to link your checking account and would like to proceed, please provide the login information for your online bank account. Affirm does not store your online login credentials—they are transmitted securely to your bank.
If Affirm asks you to link your checking account, Affirm won’t be able to offer you credit if:
– Your bank is not listed
– You choose not to link your checking account
– You don’t use online banking
– The username and / or password you provide is incorrect
– *You’re unable to successfully connect your checking account
Affirm isn’t always able to offer credit for the full amount you request. In these cases, Affirm asks you to make a down payment with a debit card for the remainder of your purchase. The down payment amount can’t be changed and must be made upon confirming your loan and before the loan offer expires.
Yes! Affirm works hard to be completely transparent. You’ll see the amount of interest you’ll owe on the terms page and again on the loan confirmation page. If you pay off your loan early, you’ll receive a rebate for any interest that hasn’t yet accrued.
The annual percentage rate (APR) on an Affirm loan ranges from 10% to 36%. Affirm discloses any required fees upfront before you make a purchase, so you know exactly what you will pay for your financing. Affirm does not charge any hidden fees, including annual fees.
When Affirm determines your annual percentage rate (APR), it evaluates a number of factors, including your credit score and other data about you. If you finance future purchases with Affirm, you may be eligible for a lower APR depending on your financial situation at the time of purchase.
This APR calculator will give you an idea of how much interest you actually pay: HTTPS://WWW.AFFIRM.COM/APR-CALCULATOR/
When you consider Affirm financing, carefully evaluate the loan terms that Affirm offers you and determine whether the monthly payments fit your budget.
Affirm calculates the annual percentage rate (APR) of a loan using simple interest, which equals the rate multiplied by the loan amount and by the number of months the loan is outstanding.
This model differs from compound interest, in which the interest expense is calculated on the loan amount and the accumulated interest on the loan from previous periods. Think about compound interest as “interest on interest,” which can increase the loan amount. Credit cards, for example, use compound interest to calculate the interest expense on outstanding credit card debt.
Before each payment is due, Affirm sends you an email or SMS reminder with the installment amount that is coming due and the due date. You have the option to sign up for autopay, so you don’t risk missing a payment.
Follow these steps to make a payment:
1. Go to WWW.AFFIRM.COM/ACCOUNT.
2. Enter your mobile phone number. Affirm sends a personalized security PIN to your phone.
3. Enter this security PIN into the form on the next page and click Sign in.
4. After you sign in, a list of your loans appears, with payments that are coming due. Click the loan payment you would like to make.
5. Make a payment using a debit card or ACH bank transfer.
A refund credit appears in your account within three to ten business days, depending on your bank’s processing time.
You cannot edit your order after you have confirmed your loan. If you want to add items to your purchase, apply for another loan with Affirm or use a different payment method.
Refunds can be processed up to 365 days from the date your order is placed.
