Breastmilk Jewellery - Preservation process
The Start of Something Amazing

Breastmilk preservation – Over the past decade, breastmilk jewellery has become increasingly popular, with many artists around the world offering their services. However, the community of breastmilk jewellery makers is a close-knit group, with many successful artists keeping their preservation methods secret.

There are several methods used to preserve breastmilk for jewellery, including liquids similar to those used in the cosmetic industry, freeze-drying, dehydration, or adding a combination of special powdered formulations. In 99% of cases, the processed breastmilk is mixed with resin and set in a mould or cast in a setting. However, it is important to note that raw liquid breastmilk should never be added directly to resin.

Preserving breastmilk is a delicate process that requires extensive testing to ensure the correct balance is reached and the longevity of the precious keepsake is secured. A failure in the preservation process can not only be devastating to the artist, but also heart-breaking for the client. That is why many successful breastmilk jewellery artists spend countless hours researching and testing to ensure that the keepsake will not discolour and turn brown within weeks or months of its creation.

Preserving breastmilk for jewellery is a complex and delicate process that requires rigorous testing to ensure the longevity and beauty of the final product. Many successful breastmilk jewellery artists take this process seriously, dedicating countless hours to researching and testing to ensure that their clients receive a priceless keepsake that will stand the test of time.
