Jewelry made from breast milk
What is Breast Milk Jewelry?
The birth of a child is probably one of the most unforgettable moments in a parent's life. The subsequent breastfeeding period demands a lot from mothers, but at the same time it is a unique way of bonding between mother and child. Being able to feed your own child with your own body is a wonderful feeling.
Breast milk jewelry offers the opportunity to capture this unique time forever. Just a few drops of the precious gold are enough to create a wonderfully unique commemorative jewel.
In order for me to conjure up your individual breast milk jewelry, I need 10-20 ml of your breast milk, depending on the memorial jewelry.
You can choose from different pieces of jewelry:
Necklace made from breast milk
Bracelet made from breast milk
Earrings made from breast milk
Einfluss der Temperatur
Die Temperatur beeinflusst die Fingergröße: Bei Kälte sind sie kleiner, bei Wärme größer. Messt daher bei angenehmen Temperaturen für eine präzise Größe.
Der ideale Zeitpunkt zum Messen
Am besten misst du abends, wenn deine Finger am größten sind. Morgens sind sie oft schmaler, was die Messung verfälschen kann.
Messen bei breiteren Fingern
Wenn dein Finger am Mittelgelenk breiter ist, miss an beiden Stellen und wähle die größere Größe für einen bequemen Sitz, der über den Knöchel gleitet, aber nicht rutscht.
Zwischen zwei Größen?
Liegt deine Größe zwischen zwei Werten, entscheide dich immer für die größere. Wiederhole die Messung über den Tag für ein genaueres Ergebnis.
How is jewelry made from breast milk?
The process from liquid breast milk to memory jewel is very complex and I spent over a year tinkering and researching to find the best way for me.
The first step is to turn the milk into a dry powder. To do this, a little preservative is added to breast milk to inhibit enzymatic activity and prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. The breast milk is then heated until a paste is formed.
The paste is then dried over a period of 2 weeks. This slow drying is important to keep the milk free of bacteria and other contaminants.
Once the milk has dried, I grind it by hand with a small mortar to obtain a fine powder.
To create a commemorative jewel, I mix the milk powder with clear resin. Other desired fillings are also incorporated in this step.
As soon as the jewelry has hardened, I check whether everything meets my quality standards, sand and polish a little more if necessary and then package the finished souvenir jewel for shipping.
