How to care for your jewelry

All products are .925 sterling silver and rhodium plated for extra protection. Your breastmilk stone is made with your preserved milk and resin. To keep your jewelry looking its best, please follow our recommendations below.

1. Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals

It's important to keep your breastmilk jewelry away from harsh chemicals, such as cleaning agents, perfumes, and lotions. These substances can cause discoloration and damage to the milk stone. When applying beauty products or cleaning your home, it's best to remove your jewelry and store it in a safe place.

2. Store in a Dry and Safe Place

When you're not wearing your breastmilk jewelry, it's essential to store it in a dry and safe place. Moisture can cause the milk stone to deteriorate over time. Consider using the jewelry box it came with to protect your precious piece from dust, humidity, and potential scratches.

3. Clean with Mild Soap and Water

To clean your breastmilk jewelry, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently rub the surface of the milk stone with your fingers or a soft cloth to remove any dirt or residue. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the stone. After cleaning, pat dry with a clean cloth.

4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Extreme temperatures can have a negative impact on your breastmilk jewelry. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as prolonged exposure can cause fading and discoloration. Additionally, avoid extreme heat or cold, as it can weaken the milk stone and potentially lead to cracking or breakage.

5. Handle with Care

When wearing your breastmilk jewelry, handle it with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to rough treatment. The milk stone is delicate and can be damaged if mishandled. By treating your jewelry gently, you can preserve its beauty and integrity.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your breastmilk jewelry remains a cherished keepsake for years to come. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at hello@madeofmilkies.com
