Breast milk jewelry

Breast milk keepsakes come in various jewelry types such as rings, lockets, pendants and popular European style beads.

Other methods may include dehydrating, freeze drying, cooking down, or mixing breast milk with other media.

Once the preserved breast milk and resin mixture is ready, it is carefully poured into molds, or a bezel setting, to create the desired stone shape.
