Breastmilk Jewelry

Breastmilk jewelry is a simple and beautiful way to celebrate your breastfeeding journey and the incomparable bond between mother and baby. With just a small amount of breastmilk, we preserve and craft a “stone” of your design. Every piece is made to your specifications, so whether your style is whimsical or more refined, you can find something that resonates with you and honors your journey.

Jewelry FAQs

 

How do I take care of my jewelry?

Resin jewelry is sensitive and you can prolong the life by taking good care of it. This means not sweating or showering in it, not getting lotions or abrasive cleaners on it, and storing it in a cool, dry place. We provide a small cleaning cloth which should be used in place of any intense jewelry cleaning solution.

What about yellowing?

Any jewelry made with resin can change color over time. We do have a formula designed to prevent yellowing and a UV resistant layer on top, but the color can still change with prolonged sun exposure.

What will/can my piece look like?

Breastmilk naturally has a variety of looks to it. The average milk sample is a cloudy off-white color, but there is a wide range from more clear to opaque, blueish or creamy yellow, textured to smooth. Expect your stone (left in a natural style) to keep the look of your milk. If you don’t want to stay natural, we have three mix-ins: pearl, diamond shimmer, and bright white.

Can you use spoiled milk?

Yes! As long as there’s no mold in it, we can use it. We do ask that you make sure it’s thawed before sending, as thawed milk will have less chance of leakage in the mail. Please refer to our shipping instructions on this page.

Do you have pieces in solid gold?

Please reach out if you’d like one of our pieces in a solid gold setting. Many do have that option, but it will need to be confirmed on a case by case basis.

Shipping Instructions

  • We need at least 15ml (half an ounce) of thawed milk. It can be old or spoiled, but it cannot be moldy.

  • Milk should be in a breastmilk storage bag for best leak prevention, and then double bagged in ziplocks. Please do not use bottles or containers, as they are more likely to shatter or leak.

  • Lastly, place your triple bagged milk into a bubble mailer and ship to us at the address provided in your confirmation email.
