February 20, 2022Breast Milk Jewelry: a One-of-a-Kind Keepsake
If you want a unique and personal keepsake of parenthood, breast milk jewelry is truly one-of-a-kind!
Many new parents want to hold on to every token of a cherished moment of parenthood. Some hold on to their baby’s first locks cut from their first haircut. Other parents may hold on to the first nail clipping or the remainder of their baby’s umbilical cord after it falls off. So, what about turning breast milk into a one-of-a-kind (OOAK) piece of jewelry? If you haven’t considered this option, you may want to. It’s been around for years and is becoming more and more common amongst modern moms.
You may be wondering how this is possible. There are breast milk jewelry kits you can order to make breast milk jewelry at home. So, this do-it-yourself (DIY) concept allows you to be in control, making this token of motherhood that much more potent and meaningful.
The DIY kits have step-by-step instructions, along with ways that you can contact the seller to ask specific questions while creating your masterpiece. However, each DIY kit is different from another. Some sellers have created their own method for the breast milk preservative and jewelry making process. In addition, some kits may include preservatives to help maintain the color of the breast milk. Other kits may involve freezing, boiling, or dehydrating the breast milk. Whichever method is used, after a period of time, the milk is ready to be poured or mixed to create a plaster-like solid. After that, the mixture’s shaped into your chosen jewelry setting. In the end, many of these final pieces are shaped like hearts, ovals, circles, or other shapes used by fine jewelry. However, keepsakes like these pack more meaning and symbolism.
