Jewelry Containing My Preserved Breastmilk

Women tend to become sentimental the moment they experience pregnancy, giving birth, and overcoming the struggles of breastfeeding. These moments are worth celebrating and remembering. 

For most moms, there’s nothing that signifies motherhood more than breastfeeding. There’s no better feeling than cradling their little ones and looking into their eyes while they nurse. So aside from capturing a million photos of breastfeeding moments, how can moms capture this special point in their lives when they are the only ones that their babies need — and that they served as a 24/7 buffet for their babies? The answer: preserve it of course with breastmilk jewelry.

Breastmilk jewelry is personalized jewelry that gives moms an opportunity to turn their liquid gold into wearable keepsakes. 

My breastfeeding journey lasted for 3 years and 2 months (April 2015 to June 2018). This includes all the struggles and triumphs of nursing and pumping. The weaning stage was a bittersweet moment because back then, I knew that the day would come that it will all end.  Breastfeeding moments will be over. The day would come that I shall nurse no more.

To my surprise, my husband surprised me with a reminder of my breastfeeding journey. Knowing that I always have pumped milk in the freezer, he gave me a pendant that contains my preserved breastmilk. I have never been a jewelry lover, but with the sight of a breastfeeding keepsake, I was so happy. 

My breastfeeding keepsake is a pendant containing my preserved breastmilk.

This is what it looks like when worn.

The necklace pendant was made by Pumped With Love, a jewelry store that offer customized jewelry made of breastmilk, hair, cut nails, umbilical cord, baby tooth, and even cremation ashes. 

My son has stopped breastfeeding for more than a year already. But every time I wear my breastmilk jewelry, I still have the moments close to my heart.
