I got a pendant necklace and earrings. I have been very happy with them. I wear the necklace daily and the earrings multiple times a week. They have held up great! I had one minor issue and it was resolved quickly. Let me know if you have questions.</p> <p>Here is the link to her site:<br /> <a href="http://www.hollydaydesigns.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.hollydaydesigns.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2793521 Tue, 26 Dec 2017 14:08:06 +0000 littlejoy 2793521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping my own old post, because it's been a long time (I never had the jewelry made), but now that I have milk from both BFing journeys, I'm ready. </p> <p>Reviving this to see if any US mamas have more suggestions. I really want something high-quality that I can wear everyday, and that'll stand up through the years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2003410 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 22:23:56 +0000 Mae 2003410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: same on all accounts. Then I got sad because I am done breastfeeding. Then I got excited because I remembered I still have frozen milk in my freezer I forgot to toss when LO was diagnosed MSPI. Then I decided my husband would think I was nuts and I prob really don't need to spend the money... lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2003384 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 22:02:28 +0000 jedeve 2003384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just went from eww...weird...awesome...I want it. And I would probably never tell anyone what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2002897 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:45:58 +0000 littlejoy 2002897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jmarionsmith: Not yet. I'll get to it in the new year. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2002841 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:22:04 +0000 jmarionsmith 2002841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: did you make it? how did it turn out?</p> <p>@Arden: i'd totally be interested if you started doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2002830 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:15:27 +0000 littlejoy 2002830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: If you do decide to start it, please let me know. I might have already made my own, but I have many friends who would totally want to do this. I'd be happy to send them your way. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2002827 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 15:13:20 +0000 Arden 2002827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I've been thinking about adding this to my business, actually. It's a very meaningful idea and I know how much it could mean to some mothers to have a tangible reminder of their breastfeeding journey.<br /> I just have to practice with tons of my own before I risk someone else's precious milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2002790 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 14:54:34 +0000 littlejoy 2002790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: This is who I would go with (the woman in Australia) for ashes: <a href="http://beyondthewillowtree.tictail.com/products/loved-ones-ashes" rel="nofollow">http://beyondthewillowtree.tictail.com/products/loved-ones-ashes</a></p> <p>She just exudes this beautiful energy, and I know she really puts her heart into her creations. She works with people all over the world. </p> <p>@youboots: I thought of that, but it's just such a tiny amount that I'm not certain it would be enough.</p> <p>I think I'm going to go with the at home kit. I'm going to find a vintage locket in town, and pour into that. Thank you for the resources everyone!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001925 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 04:14:38 +0000 AprilFool 2001925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: Thank you. Bookmarking that for the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001850 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 23:46:00 +0000 youboots 2001850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: could you send part of it and re seal the rest and hang onto it just in case? I vote go with the company you are excited about, her jewelry is pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001815 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 22:44:54 +0000 Torchwood 2001815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I hadn't heard of making jewelry from ashes. We have R's, and that could be a really good keepsake to have. It seems weird somehow to just leave them on a shelf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001758 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:24:15 +0000 MamaCate 2001758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I don't have any resources but wanted to thank you for sharing this. It is definitely something I am interested in. Could you let us know what you decide to do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001754 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:21:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2001754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Little Misters Mom: haha me too. At first I thought "well that's...interesting" to "hey, that sounds really nifty!" lol I've never heard of this before!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001746 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:15:06 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2001746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the span of 5 minutes I went from being grossed out by the idea to sort of wanting one. I found these kits to DIY on Etsy, they get good reviews and you know the milk is your own. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/milkmombaby?ref=l2-shopheader-name" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/milkmombaby?ref=l2-shopheader-name</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2001733 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:05:01 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2001733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can only tell you who I do NOT recommend. There's a company called MommyMilk Creations - the woman who creates them is out of RI.<br /> I ordered my necklace from her in Septmeber 2013....and STILL haven't heard anything back in regards to when it will be done. She rarely responds to emails and she's pretty much shut down her Facebook because she was getting so many negative messages (I'm assuming from other women in the same situation as me). </p> <p>I keep putting off asking for my money back, because I really want this necklace. My son no longer nurses and I have no more milk....so she was my last chance. I can't tell you how sad it makes me.</p> <p>I hope you're able to find someone great to do this for you, because I really do think it's a special keepsake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000971 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 11:51:13 +0000 littlejoy 2000971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: She does some work with ashes of loved ones too. Again, not for everyone, but I could see that being very special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000908 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 11:13:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2000908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: That is seriously really beautiful jewelry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000877 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 10:45:36 +0000 littlejoy 2000877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Yeah, I have been looking on Etsy, but I was really hoping for a recommendation. Like I mentioned, I only have 1 ounce of frozen milk, so I am pretty reluctant to send to just anyone. :)</p> <p>@AprilFool: She's seriously the best!!!! <a href="http://beyondthewillowtree.tictail.com" rel="nofollow">http://beyondthewillowtree.tictail.com</a> I still might go with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000874 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 10:41:48 +0000 littlejoy 2000874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SerenaSF: The "uh" makes it sound like it's a crazy idea to you. Ha. I really, really struggled through my entire breastfeeding journey, so I want a little pendant or bead to remind myself of my resilience. Probably not for everyone, but I think it's so cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000585 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:52:17 +0000 AprilFool 2000585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: Could you link the Australian artist? Not often something is local to me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000579 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:38:39 +0000 anonysquire 2000579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They make jewelry using your breastmilk and they harden it with that stuff that I can't remember the name of... Anyways they make rings, beads, pendants, fill lockets and more.</p> <p>[attach=1857/14/nhbzsg.337x600.Screenshot_2014-12-28-23-37-36.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000577 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:33:47 +0000 SerenaSF 2000577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uh... what is breastmilk jewelry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000576 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:30:54 +0000 anonysquire 2000576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a couple on etsy. And also a kit that you can purchase on etsy and DIY it!! I'm Def going to look into it at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-jewelry#post-2000568 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:03:25 +0000 littlejoy 2000568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a resource for breastmilk jewelry in the US? I found an amazing artist in Australia, but honestly, I get nervous thinking about sending my one and only frozen ounce of milk overseas. </p> <p>I found a couple on Google, but I always love recommendations. Thanks in advance! </p>
