PEARL SHIMMER, WHITE PIGMENT, LOCK OF HAIR
This european bead is a great example of the addition of white pigment and pearl shimmer. White pigment brightens your milk color, to be pure white, regardless of what color your milk is when you send it. Pearl shimmer gives a shimmery/pearlescent look. When in sunlight (where this photo was taken), the shimmer really sparkles! When not in light, it’s more subtle. See another euro bead on this page for an example of no pearl shimmer and no white pigment.
LOCK OF HAIR, GOLD AND COPPER FLAKES
We can accommodate a lock of hair in any stone that is 8mm or larger. This would be a perfect addition from your baby or child to any breast milk piece. It could also make a fantastic gift for grandparents—you can create a piece with just hair—no breast milk! You can specify how you’d like the lock of hair placed, if you have a preference. Visit our instagram feed for lots of hair ideas!
COLOR SWIRL
This stone is filled with white breast milk and pearl shimmer and a blue color tint is swirled in.
GLITTER
This raindrop necklace has blue glitter in the bottom, and gradually transitions to breast milk at the top, creating an ombre look! You can include any color glitter (literally we have 10,000 colors) in any piece. See the other glitter piece on this page (gold glitter in a honeycomb necklace).
YELLOW GOLD FLAKES
Yellow gold flakes set into a deep purple ring with breast milk.
BIRTHSTONE COLORS (source)
If you want your stone(s) to resemble birthstone colors, please indicate in the “request” box which birthstone color you’d like, and ALSO describe the color. For instance “Pigment to resemble January birthstone, garnet—deep red”. There are many different garnet colors, and we want to be sure to get it right!
RAINBOW SHIMMER
Rainbow shimmer is gorgeous! It reflects a lot of light! When in a plain breastmilk piece, it appears like this. When paired with other colors (either flakes, pigment, or glitter), it will reflect those colors in the piece and add extra depth! (See the purple ring on this page);
NO PEARL SHIMMER, NO WHITE PIGMENT
This bead, unlike the other european bead on this page, does not include any pearl shimmer or white pigment. As you can see, the color and texture are much more “creamy”. There is no “sparkle”. People who prefer a more natural look should choose these options when ordering! Of course, your milk may not be nearly as “yellow” when it is processed. Some milk naturally appears quite white!
YELLOW GOLD FLAKES
Yellow gold flakes are super popular in our pearl earrings!
CREMATION ASHES AND REMAINS
We're honored to memorialize your loved one's ashes in a beautiful piece of jewelry. We can add any color tint and/or flakes to fill it out--pictured is blue pigment with gold flakes. We only require a small amount of ashes, we handle every piece with gentle and loving care, and we will send back any ashes that we do not use in the piece.
A VARIETY OF CHOICES!
If you're having a difficult time choosing, buy more than one! Pictured from the left: blue tint and pearl shimmer, tie-dye with 5 colors and pearl shimmer, regular breast milk with pearl shimmer and a lock of hair, and purple tint with pearl shimmer.
PLACENTA
We can use dehydrated placenta powder in any of the pieces in our collection. Honor the life-giving organ by keeping it with you forever. Placenta must be dehydrated and ground before mailing. This ring is pictured with placenta ash and glitter, set in jeweler’s resin (no breast milk).
OPAL STONES if you’re looking for an opalescent look, you can add (synthetic) crushed opal to your breast milk stone!
GREEN COPPER
A very unique and bold choice, green copper powder is sure to make your jewelry stand out! It’s beautiful!
IRIDESCENT RAINBOW SHIMMER/PURPLE GLITTER
This piece was done in purple for Prematurity Awareness. It has purple glitter and iridescent rainbow shimmer. See how the shimmer reflects the purple glitter, giving the whole stone a muted purple look?!
COLOR TINT
We are happy to add one or more color tints to any piece of jewelry. To make your selection, indicate the colors you want in the “request” box when you order, and specify how you want them set!
COPPER/ROSE GOLD FLAKES AND PLACENTA
This ring includes placenta powder, as well as rose gold/copper flakes, set in breast milk! We offer yellow gold, rose gold, and silver flakes.
FLOWER PETALS, LOCK OF HAIR
These rings include dried flower petals of different colors. Save your special flowers from funerals, memorial services, weddings, and other important events. Indicate in the “requests” box when you order that you want to include dried flower petals. The petals MUST be completely dry before you mail them, to prevent mold growth! This ring also has a little lock of hair wrapped around the left edge!
FABRIC
You can even add fabric to a piece of jewelry! Pictured is a ring with a piece of our customer’s grandfather’s beloved couch cushion. Atop the fabric are some silver flakes.
UMBILICAL CORD/COPPER FLAKES
If you saved your baby’s dried umbilical cord stump, you can grind it and send it in to be used in your jewelry piece! Instructions for grinding are in the FAQ section. This piece includes breast milk, umbilical cord, and copper flakes.
COLOR SWIRL/GLITTER
Pictured is a ring with pink and blue color swirls, as well as pink and blue glitter!
COLORED FLAKES
In addition to silver, copper, and yellow gold flakes, we offer a variety of colored flakes that you can add to your piece to make it unique! Here are some of your options! If you don’t see the color here that you want, just request it on your order form! We have many, many colors!
iridescent UNICORN DUST
This addition appears holographic!
“I ordered my ring after I stopped nursing my 18 month old. It was a really emotional process for me. I had followed milk + honey on Instagram for quite a while and decided to order jewelry to commemorate that special time. I loved all the different options and that you could create something truly unique. I loved all the unique jewelry I saw, but I chose to go more natural. I requested that no pigment or glitter be added to my ring and it turned out more beautiful than I could imagine. I love it. It does take a while, a few months, to get your jewelry back, but the company is very up front about that. They keep you updated with emails to let you know what process your ring (or whatever jewelry you ordered) is in. I love supporting a family business, especially one that does such amazing work. I 100% recommend them and will be getting another piece of jewelry when I’m done breastfeeding my next baby.” —Whitney
“Amazing quality breastmilk jewelry! This is my second piece that I ordered and I’m in love with both my pieces. You can be so creative and fun with your jewelry creations, the surprise of seeing your jewelry at the end is so exciting. Amazing customer service too. So worth the money to have these sweet keepsakes. I’m thinking of ordering a necklace next!” —Sarenna
