Can I Combine Breastmilk and Hair in My Jewelry?
Yes, absolutely. We can incorporate both breastmilk and hair into the same ring or jewelry piece. Customers may choose this option to celebrate both a motherhood milestone and their child's first haircut or beginnings of hair growth. Our artisans are experienced in working with multiple elements, ensuring each material is treated with the utmost care and respect throughout the crafting process.
How do I send both elements to you?
After placing your order, we'll send you a breastmilk collection kit containing everything you need to safely ship your liquid sample. When you are ready to return the kit, you can include a small amount of hair in a separate, clearly labeled bag within the same shipping package. Keeping the hair isolated ensures both elements arrive organized and ready for production.
How much hair is required for a combined piece?
We only need a very small amount of hair to create a beautiful effect—typically a small lock measuring about one inch in length and the width of a matchstick. If the hair is very short or fine, send what you have, and our artisans will work carefully to incorporate as much visible texture as possible.
How are the elements arranged in the jewelry?
Our artisans carefully preserve and combine these meaningful keepsakes into a beautiful piece of jewelry based on the specific setting you choose. Depending on the design, the hair can be delicately placed on top of the preserved breastmilk stone, swirled within the shimmer, or arranged in a specific pattern like a tree or a subtle curl.
Can I request a custom design layout?
If you have a specific design in mind, feel free to share photos or inspiration, and we'll be happy to discuss the options with you. We love collaborating with clients to bring a specific vision to life, whether that means a precise placement of the hair or a specific tint to the breastmilk base.
