Mothers often want something kept to honor and remember motherhood.

1.Assorted breast milk jewelry

As with other forms of jewelry, you can create a wide variety of jewelry using breast milk. These include:

Ring: Breast milk ring is what the name suggests: a bracelet where the “stone” is actually made from preserved breast milk. These rings come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and you can choose to add sparkles or ferrous metals for a unique look. Some companies also incorporate other substances into their jewelry, such as powdered placenta or crushed umbilical cord.

2.How is breast milk jewelry made?

After you choose the design and color you want for your breastmilk jewelry, the designer will tell you how much milk they need to make the product.

Moms worry that sending milk out is a big process, but it’s not. Since breast milk will not be completely consumed, there is no need for refrigeration or freezing during transportation. Plus, while the amount of milk needed can vary from company to company, many companies only need 1 teaspoon to 1/2 ounce of milk, depending on what you order. That’s good news, as it makes breast milk jewelry more accessible to moms who don’t have too much milk.

Next, the jewelry designer will get to work preserving your milk. Milk is usually boiled to pasteurization and then a special preservative is added to remove moisture and turn the milk into a hard material that won’t rot or grow bacteria. Then grind the “stone” into a fine powder, add turpentine and add the required colors or shaders. It also includes a pearly shimmer to accentuate the look of breast milk, which can sometimes dull on its own.

The length of the process varies according to the jeweler and the type of product you order. Companies may need eight weeks or so, so make sure you clarify with your jeweler how long this process will take before you place your order.
