Breast milk jewelry is jewelry made of a mother's breast milk as a keepsake often worn by the mother in various jewelry types such as rings, lockets, pendants and popular European style beads. Pendants may include custom background colors, children's names and be made in many shape choices. Some pendants may be bezel set, locket set, or made from just resin. There are also filled styles available where a piece of jewelry, usually Sterling Silver is filled with preserved breast milk. Generally the filled shapes are trees or hearts to represent love or life. Various methods are used to make the jewelry. Generally, the milk is processed by being dried and shaped. The final product hardens as it ages, resulting in a substance resembling white clay. To preserve and protect it, the piece may be covered in a clear resin or glaze.
