Why Is Breastmilk Jewellery So Special?

Breastmilk jewelry is more than just a piece of jewellery—It’s a tribute to motherhood. Each piece is carefully crafted through a special process: breastmilk is diligently preserved, transformed into a fine powder, and then encased in durable acrylic resin to create a one-of-a-kind "stone." A clear protective coating keeps the piece shining while protecting it from UV rays.

Placed in beautiful sterling silver or gold., these pieces become art you can wear, that carry the love and care of your breastfeeding journey.

Care Tips to Keep Your Breastmilk Jewelry Radiant

Though strong, breastmilk jewellery needs a little love to stay beautiful. Here’s how to care for it:

  • Avoid excessive heat. Do not expose your jewellery to hair dryer, open flames or even using an oven or cooking.

  • Avoid submerging your jewellery in water and that includes showering, mineral spas, bathing, swimming ete. Resin is water resistant but not water proof.

  • Avoid storing your jewellery pieces in direct sunshine. Light and heat will speed up tarnishing of sterling silver creation.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals/cleaning solutions such as perfumes, hair spray, nail polish remover etc.

  • If your jewellery gets grubby, clean it with baby soap and warm water and dry it through with soft cloth. Do not store your jewellery in damp place.

  • Do not use anything abrasive to clean your resin with it will scratch the surface. Breast milk jewellery keepsakes sometimes may have a color change which is very normal as it is an organic matter and it is completely made of your own breast milk.

  • Be kind to your resin jewellery and keep it in a jewellery box when you are not wearing it. Ensure that it is clean and dry before storage as moisture will speed up the tarnishing process. Clean sterling silver creation with a silver cleaning cloth to remove tarnish and restore its brightness

Drying Your Jewellery

Proper drying is key to preserving your jewellery's quality:

  • Pat Dry: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently blot the jewellery dry. Avoid paper towels or tissues,since they can damage the surface.

  • Air Dry: Place your jewellery on a clean, soft cloth in a safe area. Ensure it’s completely dry before storing it to avoid tarnish or mold..

  • Skip the Heat: Avoid using hair Dryers or heat sources as high temperatures can damage the resin or metal.

Storing Your Precious Pieces
