Breast milk jewelry is jewelry made using a mothers own breast milk to commemorate her nursing journey. It gives her a tangible reminder of the time spent nursing and bonding creating their buttermilk memories together. We use a small amount of your breast milk & milky mama magic dust (preserving powder) to create one of a kind stones, that are then added to our beautiful jewelry designs. All of our pieces are custom made with your milk (or other inclusions) and hand crafted at my studio in South Florida, USA.
We preserve your milk using a preserving powder. Once its preserved and set into a paste I let it dry. I hand crush the dried product into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. I then mix it with jeweler's resin to be set into precious one of a kind milk stones.
Yes!! Since your milk will not be consumed, its okay! If it's been in the freezer for years, No problem!! If it was in a bottle or refrigerator too long, totally fine. If your milk is moldy, its not going to be okay to use for jewelry. But other than that it will work!! When I receive your milk, I unpackage it Immediately. I label it with your name & order #, and put it into a fridge/freezer until its processed.
We off to include breast milk, formula, lock of hair, dehydrated placenta powder, dried umbilical cord powder, Human cremation ashes, animal cremation ashes & dried flowers. Check with each piece to make sure your specific inclusion is available for that item. If you have a request for an inclusion that isn't listed, please email us and we will see if we can make it happen.
We can only accommodate order changes for no additional fee up to 24 hours after your order has been placed. There is a $40 fee after the 24 hour time frame. We apologize for the inconvenience.
We will review all customer requests, and will try to accommodate them. If unable to design your piece as requested the design decision will be made by the Jewelry artist.
It is very important to me that I provide not only the best quality breast milk jewelry, but that my customers are very happy with their service. Our turn around time is up to 14 weeks from the time I receive your milk/inclusions in the mail. This timing ensures I have time to process milk, receive any products I need to complete your order, and craft your piece. BUT, it is very possible, and even very likely that you will receive your jewelry long before 14 weeks!! It will be worth the wait I promise!
Breast milk jewelry and other DNA keepsakes are very unique and special, you will want to keep them with you as long as possible. As special as they are, taking care of your jewelry isn't a tall order. There are a few simple guide line to keep in mind. Most Metals can or will tarnish over time but can be cleaned with a polishing cloth to revive them back to life *** see sunshine cleaning cloth in our shop. This includes sterling silver, copper and stainless steel. Plated metals (Silver, gold, rose gold) and gold filled jewelry can or will also tarnish over time. You can extend your jewelry's life by doing the following:
Remove jewelry before sunbathing, washing your hands, working out, showering, or swimming. Remove your jewelry before applying any soaps, lotions or using chemicals. Store in a cool dry place. This is very important not just for metals but also because DNA is organic material and can mold with overexposure to water & other liquids.
