How to Commission a Bespoke Piece of Breastmilk Jewellery
So, you’ve been thinking about getting a beautiful keepsake made from your breastmilk. Maybe you’ve spotted a few pieces online—a breastmilk ring here, a breastmilk necklace there but you haven’t quite found a design that you love. Did you know you can commission your very own piece of breastmilk jewellery so you don’t have to settle for a piece that isn’t quite right.
If you are thinking how on earth do I go about commissioning one of these things? Good news is it’s much simpler than you think.
Whether you’ve just finished your breastfeeding journey, or you're still in the thick of it but want to capture this fleeting time, a bespoke breastmilk jewellery piece is the most meaningful (and gorgeous) way to do it. I promise, it doesn’t have to be complicated—even if you’re juggling kids, a career, a dog walk, and whatever that thing is you forgot you were supposed to do today.
Here’s a quick rundown of the process, step-by-step, so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 1: Let’s Chat
First things first: get in touch. Drop me a message and let me know what kind of piece you’re dreaming of. Is it a breastmilk ring with your baby’s birthstone? A breastmilk necklace that sits close to your heart? You can share inspiration images or even sketches or scribbles if you’ve got them.
Step 2: I’ll Sketch Some Magic
Based on what you’ve told me, I’ll sketch up some design options just for you. I’ll also give you a rough idea of cost, but there’s no pressure to rush.
Need to tweak something? Want to swap a gemstone, change a shape, go totally minimal or big and bold? No problem. This stage is completely free and there’s no obligation to go ahead if it’s not quite the right time.
Step 3: Ready to Go? Let’s Make it Official
Once you’re happy and want to move forward, I’ll ask for a 50% deposit to lock in your bespoke design. I’ll then send you a breastmilk collection kit, complete with instructions and a pre-paid envelope. No extra faff—just pop in your milk and post it back.
Step 4: I Get to Work
As soon as your milk arrives, I’ll get started turning your vision into a precious keepsake. Every piece is carefully made by me. The process usually takes around 6–8 weeks, depending on the design and how busy I am.
Step 5: The Big Reveal
Once your breastmilk jewellery is ready, I’ll send you pictures so you can get a sneak peek. When you’ve fallen in love (and paid the final balance), I’ll package it up beautifully and send it to you by special delivery.
That’s It!
No stress. No hidden costs. Just a truly special way to honour your breastfeeding journey with a meaningful piece of jewellery you’ll treasure forever.
If you’ve been wondering whether breastmilk jewellery is for you, I say: trust your gut. If you’ve got a vision in mind (or even just a vague idea), get in touch—I’d love to help bring it to life.
