There’s no single way to describe breastfeeding. For some mammas, it’s a beautiful bonding experience. For others, it’s painful, complicated, or cut far too short.

Feeding a baby—whether by breast, bottle, or both—isn’t just about nourishment. It’s a chapter of deep resilience and love in its most unfiltered form. It’s the soreness, the stillness, the hours that blurred together while you gave everything you had.

And it deserves to be remembered.

Breastmilk jewelry is one way to do that.

It’s not just jewelry. It’s a keepsake made from your milk—a piece of your story, preserved in something you can wear, hold close, and one day pass down.

So What Is Breastmilk Jewelry?

Breastmilk jewelry is a type of keepsake jewelry made using your actual breastmilk. Through a careful mechanical and chemical preservation process, the milk is turned into a solid, stone-like form and set into a necklace, ring, locket, or charm of your choice.

Some mammas use milk from their very first latch. Others send milk they pumped during NICU stays, mixed-feed days, or long nights that took everything they had. Some preserve milk from multiple children. Others include just a few drops from a short but meaningful journey.

There’s no “right” version of this story. What matters is that it’s yours.

 

Why Mammas Choose Breastmilk Jewelry (Even When Their Journey Wasn’t Easy)

It’s one thing to take a photo. It’s another thing to hold a physical part of a chapter that shaped you.

Breastmilk jewelry is chosen for so many reasons:

▸ To celebrate a breastfeeding journey.

▸ To honor a struggle or a loss.

▸ To feel connected to a child, even when they’re older.

▸ To reclaim a chapter that was hard, but powerful.

▸ To simply say, I did that.

It’s not about having a picture-perfect journey—it’s about honoring what this chapter meant to you. Even if it was messy, short, or nothing like what you hoped, that doesn’t make it any less worthy of remembering.

What Can You Include in a Keepsake?

Breastmilk is the most common inclusion, but it’s not the only one.

You can also include:

▸ A lock of your baby’s hair

▸ Umbilical cord stump

▸ Ashes (for memorial pieces)

▸ Dried flowers

▸ A handwritten note or engraving

▸ Placenta

We call these inclusions. They’re the physical parts of your story that you choose to preserve.

Maybe it’s just a few drops of milk from your freezer stash—a curl from your baby’s first haircut. A cord stump you saved and never knew what to do with. Whatever it is, it matters—and we treat it with the same care and reverence you do.

 

How does the process work?

Once you place your order, you’ll have the option to add a collection kit at checkout (if you’re in the U.S.) to safely send your inclusion. If you’re outside the U.S., you’re welcome to use your preferred courier. You’ll only need about half an ounce—or 15 ml—of milk.

Here's what's inside the Inclusion Collection Kit *available for US residents only

From there:

▸ We catalog and carefully store your inclusion.

▸ If it’s breastmilk, we preserve it by turning it into a stable powder.

▸ The jewelry setting you selected at checkout—crafted by our trusted partners—forms the base of your piece.

▸ We handcraft your keepsake using your inclusions and customizations: milk, cord, hair, engraving, birthstones, and more.

▸ We send you updates as your piece moves through production.

▸ Once it’s complete, we package it with care and send it home to you.

Everything is done by hand, with love, by fellow mammas who understand the weight of what we’re holding.

 

Will My Breastmilk Jewelry Last Forever?

Yes—if cared for properly.

At Mamma’s Liquid Love, we’ve spent years refining a preservation process that results in a durable, heirloom-quality keepsake. Your milk won’t spoil. Each piece is finished with a protective, jewelry-grade resin designed to shield it from daily wear.

That said, we recommend treating your keepsake with care—remove it before showering or swimming, and store it safely when not in use.

Like pearls, it’s delicate. Not because it’s weak, but because it’s precious.

Is It Weird to Wear Your Breastmilk?

We get this question more often than you’d think. And honestly? Not at all.

Wearing a keepsake made from your breastmilk isn’t strange—it’s deeply personal.

Because this isn’t just about milk. It’s about the cracked nipples. The midnight cries. The tears you shed when it hurt—and the ones you shed when it didn’t.

It’s about showing up, again and again, even when it was hard. Even when no one was watching.

And if a necklace can hold even a piece of that story, why wouldn’t you want to carry it close?

 

Is This for Me If I Didn’t Breastfeed?

Yes. 100%.

We’ve created keepsakes using formula scoops, hospital bracelets, ultrasound prints, and memorial flowers—because love shows up in many forms.

If this part of your journey meant something to you, that’s more than enough reason to honor it.

 

The Moment It Hits You: Words from Mammas

“I didn’t expect to cry. But the moment I opened it, I just felt everything all at once. Like someone had seen everything I’d been holding inside.” — Jessica

“This wasn’t for the baby. It was for me. A reminder of how far I’ve come —and how much I gave.” — Alexis M.

“I almost didn’t order because I thought I didn’t ‘deserve’ one. But I’m so glad I did. It helped me grieve, remember, and be proud.” — Malorie H.

 

These pieces aren’t just beautiful. They’re healing. They’re validating. They say the things you may never say out loud.

When moms receive their keepsake, we are often told it is their most prized possession.

 

Breastmilk Jewelry Is a Reminder…

Of the milk you made.

The time you gave. 

The love you poured into every feed.

Of the strength it took to keep going—and the tenderness you offered in the smallest, quietest moments.

Of a season that changed you forever, even if it wasn’t what you imagined.

It’s okay to want to remember.

And it’s okay to want something beautiful to help you do it.
