Description
Breastmilk bead cast with just your breastmilk in UV resin. Breastmilk jewellery is a stunning way to remember the close bond you and your little one share. You can find a great La Leche League article on the wonderful properties of human milk here. You can add an additional element like baby’s first curl, umbilical cord or placenta powder too if you like.
We will carefully cast only your breastmilk into into resin and give you a choice of beads. You can see Nikki’s YouTube tutorials here and know that I never film without your permission. I’m considered an expert and offer advanced courses in making breastmilk jewellery, so you’re in safe hands. You might see my designs and stock images elsewhere because other breastmilk artists buy them from me over on Keepsaker Supplies (you’re welcome to buy from there if you’d rather DIY!)
Breastmilk Sending Kits
We’ll send you a kit a week or so after you order and here’s some advice on sending it in, please read it. It’s really important you keep some milk in the freezer while waiting for your kit, and after you send then keep some back just in case. 15ml is plenty as we will send you two pots. If you prefer you can fill one for us (7ml) and retain the other in your own freezer, it’s very rare we need the second backup pot and this gives low supply clients some extra security.
Breastmilk Bead colour options
boobie awards
Boobie awards are a way to celebrate the length of time you’ve been feeding your little one, from amethyst for “we tried our best” to ruby for three years and onwards. For the full Boobie Awards page click here.
sparkle mixes
You can choose to include one of our highly pigmented resin colour sparkle mixes to tint your milk, or one of our new breastmilk pearly sparkle mixes. The pearly sparkle mixes are very subtle and will give your milk a hint of colour in certain lights. All of our resin sparkle mixes contain ethical and synthetic mica (free from child mining), plant based eco glitters and opalescent flakes and are hand blended by Nikki.
Breastmilk Bead
European charm bead setting
All of our European charm beads come with a solid sterling silver Tree of Opals branded core that fit in perfectly with other beads like Pandora and Trollbeads. Our breastmilk bead charm insert hole size is around 4.5mm and should fit most Pandora, Biagi or Chamilia bracelets etc. For an interesting history on the European charm beads have a look at this Wikipedia page.
Bead Engraving
Our blank bead cores are available to be engraved with a few words. If you’d like a longer quote, more names and dates etc we recommend you add a separate laser engraved washer here, they sit around the bead on your bracelet.
Engraving can be done in Arial font as standard, Times New Roman, or Silver South Serif but please remember the core is quite small and it will curve around so the letters must be small. We don’t recommend image engraving or handwriting fonts like Vivaldi, Amazone BT or Silver South Script because they are a little too small to read. Click on each font to see it “in action” with your chosen words. We can work with any font, please get in touch to discuss alternatives.Copy and paste these emojis, sometimes the ones on a phone or tablet aren’t accepted when you try to add to basket!

We have a blog with baby and breastfeeding quotes here. For image engraving see this page – you can add handwriting, fingerprints, footprints, handprints or a special pattern.
This listing is just for the charm bead itself and you can add bracelets and charm accessories here.
Nikki’s YouTube Tutorial
If you’d prefer to DIY this bead you can purchase supplies over on Keepsaker Supplies and follow this tutorial. I have been teaching people how to make breastmilk beads in person and online since 2016.
