How to Choose a Jewelry Design
You’re thinking about purchasing breastmilk jewelry and you’re excited to have this new piece to wear to remember your journey… and then you can’t make a decision because there are SO MANY decisions to make! Don’t worry: we’ve got you covered.
Follow these simple steps and you’ll be ready to press “complete purchase” in a few moments.
The first thing I need to share with you is that if you’re feeling very conflicted: GO SIMPLE. You will not regret a beautiful, classic, simple piece of jewelry with your breastmilk. I mean, honestly, look at how gorgeous this is:
The second thing you need to know is that we treat our customers like GOLD. If you order something simple and want to try a new or more intricate design next time, well you’re in luck. We always save preserved milk after crafting your jewelry, so we will have your milk here on hand indefinitely in case you want to order again! It will make your ordering process easier, you won’t need to worry about sending us more milk, and it will probably make your turnaround time even faster, too! Plus, we regularly share special sales, discounts, and promotions for past customers to add to their collection. Once you’re in, you’re a member of our family and we wanna spoil you ;-) Many of our customers choose a simple ring to start, and then add a necklace or earrings to their collection later.
If you’re sure you want something with a little more “pop”, but don’t have a specific vision, here are some things to consider:
Do you want to include your child(ren)’s birthstone(s), or a specific color?
Do you want to include your child(ren)’s lock of hair?
Do you prefer more classy/simple looks, or more abstract/creative?
If you want to include your child’s birthstone(s) or have a specific color in mind, you can do that with flakes, glitter, pigment, or a birthstone add-on to your necklace. Scroll through these and whichever one makes your breath catch and makes you say “wow!”, THAT'S the design that you will treasure. Going with your gut will never lead you astray!
Flakes or glitter down the side
Rose gold oval ring with breastmilk, pearl shimmer, and copper and pink flakes down the right side edge
Flakes in opposite corners
Rose gold oval ring with breastmilk, pearl shimmer, and copper and dark purple flakes grouped in opposite corners
Full stone pigment
Each silver stacking ring has breastmilk and pearl shimmer, and pigment to represent the birthstones of their children: January, March, November, and September
Birthstone add-on to necklace
If you want something simple, but still would like to represent your children’s birthstones, how about adding on birthstone beads to any of our necklaces?!
Yellow Gold Pearl choker with 8mm breastmilk bead with breastmilk, pearl shimmer, and opal flakes. Added 5 birthstone beads on each side.
If you love some of these designs, but don’t necessarily want to include your birthstone color or any colors, just stick with yellow gold, copper, or silver flakes or glitter. So beautiful, elegant, and will match everything in your wardrobe!
If you want to include a lock of hair, here are the most common ways to do that. Again, whichever one makes your breath catch is your WINNER:
Hair curved down side
Yellow gold Oval ring with breastmilk, pearl shimmer, and lock of hair curved down right side.
Hair in a heart
Silver oval ring with breast milk, lock of hair, pearl shimmer, and red poppy petals
Swirl

If you feel like you need a more unique design, but can’t quite commit, please remember that ALL of our pieces are unique and special to you because they are made with YOUR milk. No one else will ever have jewelry exactly like yours. Grab a necklace with just breastmilk and maybe a little pearl shimmer, and when you land on a vision that makes your heart sing, take advantage of our customer loyalty sales and purchase a matching ring with a fun and more creative design!
