Breastmilk jewelry, also known as milk jewelry, is jewelry that has a stone made out of your precious breastmilk. I turn your milk into a stone using a very special natural process. The piece will represent your journey, if was easy or hard, even if you had to supplement or use donor milk, or if you were a just “enougher”, Even if you took a boat load of supplements or use medications to help induce lactation. No matter what you went through, your journey is unique to you as will also be your breastmilk jewelry!

The turnaround time is up to 14 weeks (as of March 1st, 2022) from when I process your inclusions to when your order is put in the mail.

Inclusions are picked up on Saturdays. Inclusions are processed on Saturday and Sundays. Occasionally, we will pick up and process milks during the week but it is typically done on the weekends.

If you order a piece with leftover milk on hand, the TAT is 3 weeks until it goes in the mail as long as the piece is on hand. If the piece you have ordered is not on hand the TAT will be about 5 weeks (this is not exact, it does depend on when it comes from the jeweler).

*Turnaround time can change due to unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be announced through the facebook group as well as the banner on the homepage of the website which is found at the top of the page.

The preservation process is chemically done, the final color will alter from the original color due to the preserving process as well as any medications or supplements that you may take. The preservation process leaves the stone a white appearance with some slight variations.

I work with 925 sterling silver, rose gold filled, yellow gold filled and rose and yellow gold plated. I also work with solid golds with genuine diamonds.

This is a anti-tarnish strip. You can put this strip directly in the jewelry box that comes with your order.
This strip works to absorb sulphides and other pollutants in the air that will cause tarnish to occur.
