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.

  1. Abi (verified owner)

    I absolutely love this piece. I had kept hold of my little boy’s umbilical cord stump but it was just loose in a drawer. Now it is a beautiful piece of jewellery, and will be preserved forever. Umbi cord is surprisingly gorgeous set into resin. I love it!

  2. Emma (verified owner)

    I love my umbilical cord stump charm very much and the genuine opal adds a beautiful shimmer to it. The charm was made from the stumps of my two babies and will be treasured forever. Thank you so much!

  3. Tylerchloerush (verified owner)

    My charm arrived this morning and I can’t believe how beautiful it is. Such a special piece that symbolises the bond between me and my baby and something that I can treasure forever. I absolutely love it and was definitely worth the wait, already looking to order another piece.

  4. Samantha Stevens (verified owner)

    I love all my pieces, I can’t get over how amazing they look. Nikki went out of the way to ensure I was happy and sent me a proof for each piece of my order. She made my elements into tiny stars which I love! My daughter is my shining star.
