Pure Breastmilk Jewelry

At our studio, I’m proud to offer breastmilk jewelry that preserves the purity of your milk without powders or artificial tints. Instead, I use a unique preservation method, developed to capture the natural colors and qualities of your breastmilk. Unlike the widely used “powder method”—in which breastmilk is mostly evaporated away, leaving only traces behind—my pieces incorporate your milk in its truest form.

Many methods involve heating the milk with a pre-tinted powder until it evaporates, then drying and crushing this mixture for final use. If you're considering a piece from another creator, I recommend asking how your milk is preserved. If they use a powder method, request a demonstration with water; a reluctance to share basic information can be a red flag. While creators don’t need to share their exact process, transparency in preservation style is essential when it comes to investing in something so meaningful.

My process is designed to keep the milk’s natural hue, and as you can see from the photos, this may differ from the stark white that powdered methods create. If you’d like to know more, feel free to check out additional information and videos in previous blog posts.

Comparing Breastmilk Preservations

Here is a good example of three breastmilk preservation method recipes. Images are taken in natural light with a DSLR on Manual mode.

In the cup, I have the same batch of breastmilk used for the experiment so you can compare the examples of methods WITH the actual milk. The top image is after it has dried (you can see it preserved on my other blogs or YouTube), and the bottom is after is has been crushed.

Here we have my method on the left. It doesn't make nearly the amount the other two do, but remember, it also doesn't have nearly the filler "substances." Also, take note, that my method is not meant to be dried out, I did so for the sake of keeping the experiment fair. (You can also see my method in the wet form as it is used via a previous post.)

The second, toward the bottom, is the CA method. You can read more about this method in previous posts.

Lastly, the famous MM breastmilk preservation powder recipe on the right. You can read more about this method in a previous post as well. - As you see, it retains the least amount of actual breastmilk color out of the methods shown. I still don't understand why this became the "go-to" recipe for breastmilk preservation. It CLEARLY has pigment in it. It made it big because the lady who started creating it didn’t tell the whole truth or the full result of the method, and didn’t care while the people in her group blindly followed.

This is why you should ask what method your DNA artist is using, and ask them to show you the method of preservation with water. This way, you can make an informed choice about your keepsake, asking this gives you a great idea as to how much your milk will actually be coloring your piece. While they don’t owe you their recipe, if they don’t want to tell you ANYTHING, that is a big red flag.

Famous powder/dust, the CA method, my method (dried), and the actual milk used for this experiment.
