Hi, I’m Tiffany—the mama and maker behind Milky Way Breastmilk Jewelry. I’ve been pouring my heart into creating one-of-a-kind pieces for mothers like you since the very first time I preserved a few drops of my own milk. And if you’re here, you’re probably wondering what makes custom breastmilk jewelry so special—or why you might choose it over a cheaper or faster option online.


So let me tell you.


Made by a Mama Who Gets It

I’m not a big brand. I don’t mass-produce anything. I’m one woman in a little home studio, carefully crafting every piece that comes through my hands. When you send your breastmilk to Milky Way, I’m the one who opens it. I’m the one who preserves it. I’m the one who turns it into something you’ll carry forever.


This isn’t just a product to me. It’s a piece of your story. And I take that very seriously.

You won’t find a production line or outsourced help here. What you will find is someone who knows what it feels like to give everything for your baby. To cry in the middle of the night. To cheer for an extra ounce pumped. To close a breastfeeding chapter with mixed emotions.


That’s the kind of energy that goes into every piece of custom breastmilk jewelry I make.


The Difference is in the Details

When something is made just for you, you feel it.


You’ll never get a generic design at Milky Way. You’ll choose your base style, and then we’ll customize it together. Want a pearl shimmer? Birthstones? A lock of hair? Dried flowers from your baby shower bouquet? Engraving that says “You made me a mom”? Let’s make it happen.


I’ve even had moms include umbilical cord fragments, placenta powder, and ashes from a loved one. Your piece should reflect your journey—not just the milk itself, but everything it represents.


That’s what makes custom breastmilk jewelry so meaningful. It’s not just what it’s made from. It’s what it holds.


Why Moms Choose Custom

I talk with a lot of moms, and here’s what I hear over and over again:


  • “I didn’t want something off the shelf. I wanted something made with care.”

  • “This was my way of honoring everything I went through.”

  • “It’s more than jewelry. It’s healing.”


And honestly, I get that. I’ve made pieces for NICU moms. For loss moms. For women who fought for every feed. For moms who chose formula after struggling—and wanted to remember the courage it took to make that choice.


This kind of jewelry isn’t about perfection. It’s about meaning.

When you choose custom breastmilk jewelry, you’re saying: This mattered. I mattered. My journey matters.


And I’ll make sure your keepsake reflects that.


No Mass Production, No Rush—Just Love

It takes time to make something this personal. I hand-preserve your milk, mix it with love and care, and create your piece slowly and intentionally. It may not ship in 2 days—but it will last for years. I also use a preservation method that helps prevent yellowing, so your piece will stay beautiful over time.


This is a keepsake you can wear every day or pass on to your children one day. It’s a little piece of your love, frozen in time.

And I’m honored to make it for you.


With love,

Tiffany V.

Maker, Milky Way Breastmilk Jewelry
