Can you use frozen breast milk to make jewelry?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

I can definitely use frozen breast milk to create beautiful and meaningful jewelry pieces. In fact, the freezing process does not impact my ability to work with the breast milk at all. Whether the breast milk has been frozen for a few months or several years, I can still transform it into a unique keepsake for mothers.

One of the oldest samples of breast milk I have had the privilege of working with was frozen for a staggering 18 years! The mother who entrusted me with her precious milk wanted to create a special piece of jewelry to commemorate her breastfeeding journey with her child. I was amazed at the longevity of the frozen milk and thrilled to be a part of creating something so sentimental for her.

When it comes to making breast milk jewelry, the first step is to thaw the frozen milk. I carefully handle the thawing process to ensure the milk retains its quality and integrity. After thawing, I utilize a special preservation method to transform the milk into a solid material that can be shaped and crafted into various jewelry designs.

Once the breast milk has been preserved, I can mold it into different shapes, such as beads, pendants, or even rings. The possibilities are endless, and I work closely with the mother to create a design that holds personal significance to her. It’s a collaborative process that allows the mother to have a say in how her breast milk is transformed into a cherished piece of jewelry.

I take great pride in creating breast milk jewelry that not only captures the essence of a mother’s breastfeeding journey but also serves as a beautiful reminder of the bond she shares with her child. Each piece is unique, just like the mother and child it represents.

Frozen breast milk can indeed be used to create jewelry. The freezing process does not affect the quality or suitability of the milk for jewelry making. Whether the breast milk has been frozen for a few months or several years, I am able to work with it and create meaningful and sentimental pieces for mothers. It is a privilege to be a part of preserving such precious memories and milestones in a mother’s life.
