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.
Who's behind your keepsake?
I’ve been in the industry for several years and have seen so many people come and go as well as so much go on behind the scenes. Having been removed from groups after trying to understand why some think it’s ok to be deceitful to clients, I did happen to grab some screen captures before officially being booted. Other big-time crafters should be ashamed of some of the things they do or advise their pupils to do. Everything from harsh chemicals to tints. Not only that, but you see how some people do their practice and intermingle client’s milks. It’s all been pretty eye-opening.
While some of these mentioned additives aren’t the most unsafe I’ve seen mentioned in past years, they still DO impact color, and adding more isn’t the answer to keep the milk pure. You want less, you want the closest thing to just milk as you can get.
You’d be sad to learn some of these crafters commenting are BIG TIME creators who are being trusted to preserve real clients’ milk. I think MOST creators mean well, they just haven’t opened their eyes that their method isn’t very pure and became blind once they start getting paid. At the end of the day, it’s up to the consumer to be aware of the kind of businesses they are using. Either way, I suggest vetting your creator as well as seeing how long they’ve been in business AND that they are an actual business.
