Customer Reviews
The ring you made is something I will treasure forever, thank you so much for doing what you do🩵
Hey Lauren,
Thank you so much for creating me such a beautiful keepsake to remind me of our little baby we never got to meet. In the time of you creating my keepsake we found out we are having another baby and I wanted to wait until I received my keepsake to wear it in our announcement photos. It’s completely perfect. I’ve had so many compliments from people who were completely unaware that these special things could be kept in a keepsake. You’re changing lives 💗🩵
I wanted a breastmilk ring to represent my own perseverance and the bond shared between me and and my daughter. After doing some research, I decided upon Milk & Stone because of their waterproof jewelry - most companies don't have true waterproof stones. Not only that, but they also create beautiful pieces that will last a lifetime. The process of sending in milk is very easy, and they're quick to respond to any questions you have. It took about 3 months total from sending in milk to receiving the final product. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, it's truly beautiful and timeless!
I received a ring today with breastmilk, hair, and birthstones. I absolutely love it.
Some time around 2014, I had a breastmilk and hair pendant made by a different business. It was so poorly made that the milk went translucent, and it was so ugly. I ended up breaking it apart and rescuing the hair from it to send to Milk and Stone, along with my 2020 baby's hair and milk.
The ring made by Milk and Stone is just beautiful. The ordering process is very easy, especially receiving a little ring sizer to measure my finger!
Thank you for this beautiful piece that I can treasure my babies with.
I exclusively pumped for my Son for 6 months and it was absolutely the hardest thing I have ever done. I ordered myself this ring with milk from our last pump to remind myself that I can do anything.
It came out beautiful! You can tell it’s made with love. Highly recommend Milk & Stone!

FAQ
Can I send frozen milk?
Yes you can!
If your milk is frozen please make sure you defrost it and mail it to us in a sterile milk storage bag.
Squeeze out any air inside the bag, seal it, wrap it in a paper towel and place it inside another milk storage bag. Label the second bag with your order number (not receipt number) and your name.
Your milk does not need to stay cold in transit.
What is the difference between Gold Filled and Solid Gold?
Gold filled jewellery has a thick layer of gold bonded to a base metal, while solid gold jewellery is made entirely of gold. Although solid gold is more valuable, gold filled pieces provide a more affordable option with a thicker layer of gold than gold plated jewellery. While solid gold can be repaired if scratched, gold filled jewellery cannot be repaired without exposing the base metal underneath. Gold filled pieces can last 10-30 years with proper care, but solid gold can last a lifetime, making it the recommended choice for keepsakes with irreplaceable inclusions or heirloom pieces meant to be passed down through generations.
How many inclusions can I add to my stone?
We recommend limiting your additions to 3 inclusions. The more inclusions you add the 'busier' your stone will look. We find that busy designs distract from the natural beauty of each inclusion and the story being told.
How much of my inclusions do I send?
Milk: 2-15mL (1 tbs) of milk inside a sterile milk storage bag with the air squeezed out.
Ashes: 1/2 teaspoon. Any ashes that aren't used for your piece are posted back to you with your completed jewellery.
Hair: A pinch about 5mm thick.
Placenta/Umbilical cord: One capsule or a 5-10mm dried section.
Sand/soil: 1/2 teaspoon. Soil can not be sent overseas.
Flowers: 2-4 Petals from each flower. These must be dried for a minimum of 3 weeks and pest free prior to being sent to us.
