Breast milk jewelry is a type of keepsake jewelry that is made using a small amount of a mother's breast milk. This unique form of jewelry serves as a sentimental reminder of the breastfeeding journey and the bond between mother and child.

History[edit | edit source]

The concept of breast milk jewelry emerged in the early 21st century as a way for mothers to commemorate their breastfeeding experience. The process involves preserving a small quantity of breast milk and incorporating it into various types of jewelry, such as pendants, rings, bracelets, and earrings.

Creation Process[edit | edit source]

The creation of breast milk jewelry typically involves several steps:

  1. Collection: A small amount of breast milk is collected from the mother.
  2. Preservation: The breast milk is preserved using a special process that prevents it from spoiling. This often involves mixing the milk with a preservative powder or resin.
  3. Incorporation: The preserved milk is then incorporated into the jewelry piece. This can be done by encasing the milk in resin or using it to create a bead or stone-like element.
  4. Finishing: The jewelry is finished and polished to create a durable and attractive keepsake.

  • Bracelets: Beads made from breast milk can be strung together to create a bracelet.
  • Earrings: Small amounts of breast milk can be used to create unique earrings.
