Why preserve breastmilk into jewellery?

I often see or get asked: “Why would someone want to purchase breastmilk jewellery?”

Here are some beautiful reasons…

Celebration of Motherhood

For many, breastfeeding is an important milestone in their parenting journey. Jewellery made from breastmilk can symbolise the effort, bond, and love involved in that stage of life.

Commemoration of a Journey

Some parents want to remember the challenges they overcame—such as difficulties with latching, supply, or pumping. The jewellery serves as a tangible reminder of resilience.

Bond Between Parent and Child

Breastmilk is unique to each parent-child relationship. Turning it into jewellery creates a one-of-a-kind keepsake that represents the physical and emotional connection.

Memory-Making

For parents who are weaning or have finished breastfeeding, it’s a way to preserve and honour that chapter of life.

Grief and Healing

For those who may have lost a child, breastmilk jewellery can hold special meaning as a memorial piece.

Symbol of Nourishment and Nurture

It embodies the act of giving life and nourishment, transformed into something lasting and beautiful.
