Description
Placenta or umbilical cord bead for Chamilia and Pandora bracelets. Our babies are only small for a moment. They gain their independence so quickly starting from when the umbilical cord is cut separating them from your shared placenta.
We will cast a tiny bit of your baby’s cord stump or dried placenta powder 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!)
placenta and umbilical cord bead colour options
You can pick one of our nineteen colour sparkle mixes, or choose “classic cord” for a piece set in clear resin with a white background. Click on this colour options page to see more info about each variation, including how we place each of the colours and shimmers. Each piece will look unique because of the natural colours of the umbilical cord and placenta powder and we can’t predict the results. Colours vary from white to red, black, pink and brown and everything in between.
adding hair
You can add a first curl as an additional element to any of our umbilical cord and placenta keepsake pieces, just write what you’d like in the box above.
cord and placenta powder 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 ash back and don’t send too much. “Less is more” with keepsake jewellery.
*tw baby loss* If you are looking for a loss piece for a baby or child then please email Nikki on in**@*********ls.com with the subject line “Pro Bono”, who will try to reply straight away. We have a small fund available for these pieces and some instructions on our Non-Profit Baby Memorial page on how to save a first curl, placenta and umbilical cord if your baby is to be born sleeping and ash if they are cremated.
Umbilical Cord Bead
Gold European Keepsake Bead Findings
All gold European beads come with solid gold insert that fit in perfectly with other beads like Pandora and Trollbeads. Our charm bead insert hole size is around 4.5mm and should fit all Pandora, Biagi or Chamilia bracelets etc. They are solid 9ct gold, 375 hallmarked yellow or rose gold and made from scratch in our small workshop in Bath. Our gold beads are hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office and fully fitted (not glued in) so the core goes all the way through the middle.
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!
