Keepsake FAQ’s

  • Breastmilk jewelry is a beautiful way to bring together those special pieces you can honor and empower your motherhood journey. Breastfeeding is a precious time we must bond with our little ones. This is a way to cherish these moments and remind you how you nourished your little one.

  • The current turnaround time is 2.5 to 4 months, depending on the influx of orders. If custom bespoke work is included, the timeframe may extend to 5 to 6 months. Orders are processed as they arrive, not in order number sequence.

    For the quickest turnaround, it’s best to place your order and send in your inclusions quickly when processing times are shorter.

    Please note that international shipping costs and customs fees (if applicable) are the responsibility of the buyer. Shipping times may vary depending on your location.

  • I allow only up to three inclusions to maintain a clean, minimalistic look. Adding too many elements may cause the keepsake to appear visually cluttered.

    For every additional breastmilk bag or inclusion beyond three, there is a fee per item to cover the cost of extra materials used. If you have any questions about your design, feel free to reach out before placing your order.

  • Fresh, expired, or frozen breastmilk is all acceptable. However, moldy milk cannot be used. If any milk received is found to be moldy, you will be notified immediately via email.

  • Yes, you can request to mix more than two different breastmilks in one keepsake. However, each additional breastmilk bag beyond one will incur a fee per bag to cover extra materials used.

    If you’d like to include multiple breastmilks, please note this in your order and reach out with any questions before sending.

  • Yes, I do keep any leftover breastmilk and inclusions for up to 5 years in case you’d like to order additional keepsakes in the future.

    If you prefer for any unused inclusions to be returned instead, please mention this in your order, and return shipping costs will apply. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

  • Yes, you can place your order now and send your inclusion when you're ready. However, if more than one year has passed since your purchase, a small fee will apply to cover material costs.

  • Yes, I do offer a rush service for an additional fee, depending on availability. If you need your order completed sooner, please purchase a Expedite My Order here.

    Rush availability is limited, so I recommend placing your order as soon as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out before purchasing.

  • Avoid direct contact and exposure of all harsh chemicals (perfumes, oils, chlorine, saltwater, hairspray, etc) to your stone. These toxins can alter your keepsake.

    Use a polishing cloth to routinely shine your keepsake.

    Gold filled jewelry can tarnish over time if not taken care of.

    Wearing your keepsake daily is perfectly fine as long as these steps are followed.

    • Label the package as: "Jewelry Materials" or "Craft Supplies"

    • Do NOT list items as: Breastmilk, ashes, hair, or human remains (this can cause shipping delays or restrictions)
