5x7mm Sterling Silver Teardrop Ring

Breastmilk jewelry is a baby keepsake, a symbol of the intimacy of the breastfeeding bond between you and your child, and a celebration of the amazing feat that you’ve accomplished as a mother.

• Keep your breastmilk stone natural or add pearl powder for a more lustrous finish or opal effect flakes for a pale, milky opal color and iridescent shine. Baby’s birthstone color shimmer available for $10.00. 

How much milk do I need to send?  We require two tablespoons of milk to create your breastmilk stone. However, we can and do work with low-supply mothers, and in these circumstances, we can work with one tablespoon of your milk. Will my jewelry match what is on the website exactly? 

Every mother’s milk is different, and these differences make your breastmilk jewelry piece unique and personal. Some breast milk contains more protein, creating a centerpiece with a brighter, whiter color. For fattier breast milk, the stone will have a creamy white appearance. If the breast milk is watery, the piece will have a lighter and more translucent look. And if the breast milk has a high sugar content, the stone might look dense. The composition of your breast milk also depends on the stage of your breastfeeding. Colors, densities and hues differ, and we craft each piece individually and by hand. Additionally, inclusions, such as gold and silver flakes, can layer and settle differently with each stone. Consequently, no two pieces are the same. Each is unique to you and your baby.

How to store: 

We encourage you to store your jewelry in the soft bag that we provide with each purchase, to keep the bag in a dark, cool place, and to avoid excessively humid environments. Whenever possible, avoid exposing your jewelry to prolonged, direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations as well, and always remove your breast milk jewelry before tanning or using a sauna.

We also recommend removing your breastmilk jewelry before you bathe or shower, before you wash your hands or apply hand sanitizer, and before you go swimming. The buildup of residue and chemicals from your water supply or swimming pool can dull the sheen of your breastmilk stone over time.

When needed, clean your breastmilk jewelry using cool water and mild soap, avoiding jewelry cleaners and harsh chemicals. Alcohol, while useful for cleaning the metal parts of jewelry, can potentially damage the surface of your breast milk jewelry stone, and it’s best to avoid exposure to perfume as well, since it is often alcohol-based. If contact with chemicals or even oils from your skin do dull the luster of your breastmilk stone, simply polish it with a soft, clean rag to restore its shine. 

Due to the personal nature of each piece, we do not accept returns or order cancellations. However, if you should receive an item that is defective, damaged or not what you ordered, we will help you resolve any issues as quickly as possible by replacing the item.

In 8 weeks (but up to 12 weeks for rings and complex pieces), your beautiful jewelry will be at your doorstep, providing you with a lasting keepsake of your breastfeeding accomplishment and a celebration of the lasting bond between you and your child. Cherish your beautiful breastmilk jewelry and wear it—with love, with pride, and with joy. After your order we will email you where to mail your milk.
