Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
Yes! save your preserved milk indefinitely for future orders. Only send about half an ounce to avoid storage issues.
When placing a new order with preserved milk, fill out this FORM after checkout.
- 02
Each milk stone is a solid, durable piece made to withstand normal wear. Since every piece is handmade, colors may vary slightly—and that’s part of the charm. Tiny bubbles can sometimes appear during the curing process, but I do my best to minimize them.
- 03
Breast milk jewelry is a beautiful and personal keepsake made using your own breast milk. Once your milk is received, it’s carefully sterilized, preserved, and mixed into resin to create a one-of-a-kind stone that’s handcrafted just for you.
- 04
Because processing starts immediately after receiving your milk, changes are not possible once it's been shipped. Double-check all details before sending.
- 05

Yes—always. I treat each inclusion with the utmost respect and care. Every stone is made using only the materials you provide, and no two pieces are ever the same.
- 07
Due to the custom nature of each piece, returns are not accepted. However, if you are unsatisfied, I’m happy to work with you and can remake stones for a small fee.
- 08
Yes, multiple milk samples can be combined. Please leave a note at checkout and clearly label each sample.
- 09
With proper care, milk stones can last for many years. I suggest applying a fresh topcoat annually (available for $5 on my website).
Most settings are sterling silver, which can tarnish over time but can be polished easily. Rose gold or yellow gold plating will wear over time, depending on usage. If you would like a colored gold that does not fade, solid gold is the only choice.
