What can I include in my keepsake and what are inclusions?

Inclusions are the meaningful materials you send us to incorporate into your keepsake—like breastmilk, ashes, hair, umbilical cord, placenta, or dried florals. These are what make each piece deeply personal and one-of-a-kind.

Best-Selling Inclusion Guidance

Tree of Life

Our Tree of Life Inclusion Guidance is deeply symbolic and highly customizable.

Hair is often used for the trunk, while florals, umbilical cord, crushed birthstones, or colored flakes form the leaves. Some also choose to include ashes at the base of the design, symbolizing the strength and memory that grounds everything.

Every tree is a reflection of your story.

Mamma Favorite

Double Hearts

Our Double Hearts design is made to hold two separate hair samples—often one from mamma and one from baby, or between siblings.

It’s a keepsake that honors the bond between two hearts, held close forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are inclusions?

Inclusions are the physical pieces of your story—like breastmilk, ashes, hair, umbilical cord, placenta, or dried florals—that we carefully preserve inside your keepsake. Each one holds meaning, and no two are ever the same. It’s what makes your piece truly yours.

How do I send in my inclusions?

You can send them in using your own packaging, or purchase our Inclusion Collection Kit (available for U.S. customers only).

If you’re sending them in yourself, just follow our Guide here →

Do I need to purchase the Inclusion Kit?

Not at all—it’s totally optional.

Some customers prefer the ease of our kit (pre-labeled, with all the tools you need), while others are comfortable using their own packaging. Whatever works best for you.

How much breastmilk (or ash, hair, etc.) do you need?

We typically need:

• Breastmilk: 0.5oz
• Ashes: 1/2 teaspoon
• Hair: About 20 strands ( 1 inch long)
• Umbilical Cord: A small dried piece
• Placenta: 1 capsule
• Florals: A few dried petals or leaves

If you’re sending ashes, we’ll carefully return any we don’t use along with your finished piece.

For all other inclusions, we hold on to the extras for up to one year—just in case you’d like to create something else later on.

Can I include more than 1 inclusion?

Yes. Many mammas choose to include multiple materials—like milk and hair, or ashes and florals. Some of our designs even allow for separate bezels for each.

I’m not ready to send my inclusions yet—can I still order?

Yes. You have up to 1 year from your purchase date to send them in. Take your time. This is your story and your timeline.

Can you use inclusions from more than one person?

Absolutely. Whether it’s milk from two different feeding journeys, hair from multiple loved ones, or birthstones representing a whole family—many of our designs are made to hold and honor every layer of your story.

What if my ring size has changed since I ordered, but I haven’t sent in my inclusions yet? Can I update it?

We totally understand that things can change—but once your order is placed, your setting is already in motion. Every keepsake is handcrafted just for you, and production begins right away—even before your inclusions arrive.

Because of that, we’re unable to make any changes to your setting once your order has been submitted. This applies to all keepsakes—including rings, pendants, bracelets, and more.

If you’re ordering a ring and aren’t sure of your size, we recommend double-checking before placing your order. You can visit a local jeweler.♡
