How Does Breastmilk Jewelry Work?
Creating your breastmilk keepsake is simpler than you might think. At Made of Milkies, every piece is handcrafted using your own breastmilk to create a meaningful keepsake that tells your story.
Whether you're preserving your breastfeeding journey, celebrating a milestone, or honoring a chapter of motherhood, your jewelry is designed to help you carry those memories with you.
Step 1: Choose Your Jewelry
Browse our collection of rings, necklaces, lockets, earrings, and keepsakes to find the piece that speaks to you. Every design is handcrafted and made specifically for your order.
Once your order is placed, we'll prepare your collection kit and ship it within 2 to 3 business days.
Step 2: Receive Your Collection Kit
Every order includes a collection kit with everything you need to safely send your milk.
Most pieces require only 10 ml of breastmilk, which is approximately two teaspoons. Detailed instructions are included to make the process as simple as possible.
Step 3: Send Your Milk
After receiving your kit, collect your milk and return it using the provided instructions.
Fresh, refrigerated, frozen, and older stored milk can often be used to create your keepsake. If you have questions about your specific milk, please contact us before ordering.
Step 4: Your Breastmilk Is Carefully Preserved
Your breastmilk undergoes a preservation process that allows it to become part of your jewelry for years to come.
Every keepsake is individually handcrafted, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. Variations in color and appearance are natural and make each piece uniquely yours.
Step 5: Your Jewelry Is Created
Once your inclusions arrive, your jewelry enters production.
Current turnaround times are always listed in the website announcement bar. Every piece is handcrafted in Connecticut with care and attention to detail.
Once your piece is complete, it will be carefully packaged and shipped directly to you.
