How Durable Is Breastmilk Jewelry?
When choosing a keepsake, one common question customers ask is: How durable is our breastmilk jewelry? Our pieces are designed to last, but like all fine jewelry, they require proper care to maintain their beauty and longevity. Because your jewelry is made using a specialized preservation process combined with high-quality jeweler’s resin, it behaves differently than standard gemstones. With mindful everyday wear and correct preservation practices, your keepsake will remain a beautiful reminder of your nursing bond for years to come.
How does the breastmilk preservation process work?
To ensure durability, your breastmilk undergoes a careful preservation process. We transform the liquid milk into a stable, dry powder before embedding it into high-quality, professional-grade resin. This specialized formulation prevents the milk from spoiling, discoloration, or degrading over time, sealing your memories in a crystal-clear, durable finish.
How can I care for my breastmilk jewelry?
To keep your jewelry looking as vibrant as the day it arrived, treat it with the care you would give any fine heirloom. Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising to avoid unnecessary moisture and chemical exposure. When you aren't wearing your piece, store it in a dark, cool place away from direct sunlight.
To clean your jewelry, use the jewelry cloth we provide alongside your jewelry order. Gently wipe the surface of your breastmilk stone in circular motions until the metal and stone both look polished.
Are there other factors I should avoid to maintain my breastmilk jewelry’s appearance?
While our resin is highly durable, it is a specialized material sensitive to extreme elements. Over time, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and intense UV rays can cause the resin to yellow or soften. Additionally, harsh chemicals found in perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products can dull the polished surface of your keepsake stone.
We recommend storing your piece in a dark, cool place—such as a lined jewelry box—when you are not wearing it. Additionally, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, and harsh chemicals will keep the resin looking its best. We also advise applying products like perfume, lotion, etc, and letting them dry completely before putting on your jewelry piece.
