Let customers speak for us
It was a hard journey being able to breastfeed my son. But I committed and changed everything about my life to try and give him the best. I will always be proud of myself for giving him 16 months of pure nourishment. What a beautiful way to commemorate our journey. @milkandstone_ really made a beautiful piece I get to look at every day, and it was absolutely worth the wait! 🤱✨️💍
I am absolutely in love with my ring! I cried as soon as I opened the box because it commemorates my breastfeeding journey so perfectly. The fit is flawless, and the shimmer is breathtaking! The artist who crafted it is truly amazing and was so supportive and communicative throughout the entire process. It was worth every single minute of waiting and every penny spent. This piece is more than just jewelry, it’s a treasured keepsake that I will cherish forever. Thank you so much!
I got the La Lune Circle pendant with breastmilk, moonstone shimmer and ruby flakes for my son’s birthstone (July). It is just brilliant and exactly what I was after
I purchased this ring for myself and a pendant for my daughter - Lauren went above and beyond to find a bigger jump ring so the pendant would suit my daughter's bracelet. Cannot thank her enough for her help and for creating two beautiful keepsakes. Could not recommend more highly, process was super easy and was kept in the loop all the way. Would make a great gift for a new mum, getting a gift card to make something like this would be the perfect gift!
Absolutely love my adore ring. It’s such a beautiful reminder of the journey I took with my son and is stunning!
Lauren & Jared were so great at communicating throughout the process and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Worth every penny. Definitely would recommend. Excellent product & customer service.
I am extremely happy with my beautiful pendant. It is absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I was after. Lauren and her team kept me updated during the whole process. I highly recommend Milk & Stone. Thank you Lauren!
Both rings ive ordered turned out so beautiful! Im 100% satisfied with how they turned out.
I loved how my ring turned out. Email confirmation for next step is sent so I'm aware of the work progress.
After six years of breastfeeding, I wanted something truly meaningful to commemorate that journey and this breastmilk stone pendant is everything I hoped for and more. From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly smooth and thoughtful. I received regular updates throughout the creation process, which made it feel so personal and special.
When it finally arrived in the mail, I honestly cried. The pendant is absolutely stunning! far more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The craftsmanship and quality are exceptional, and it’s clear how much care went into making it.
This is so much more than just jewelry; it’s a deeply emotional and precious keepsake that holds years of love, sacrifice, and connection. I will treasure it forever.
Thank you so much milk and stone I absolutely love it!
I loved my keepsake ring. It was definitely worth the wait ! I loved how laure and her team kept me updated threw the process. So thankful, My ring is perfect, makes my heart is soo happy.
My husband ordered the 4mm Luna Circle ring. We use breastmilk from our youngest, ashes from our 2 month old son, and umbilical cord from our oldest. There isn't a diamond or precious stone in existence that could EVER be as special as this stone. I don't have words for how perfect and amazing this ring is!! I get to have my babies close always!!! Thank you so much!!!
I’m so obsessed with my ring. Totally worth every penny and 3 months of waiting to have such a precious memory keepsake with me forever! I couldn’t be more blessed to have the reminder that I can do hard things even when the going gets tough. My son has blessed me beyond belief & i will never forget how strong he has made me especially with my 15month pumping journey coming to an end eventually. Couldn’t have asked for a better Mother’s Day gift.
You can almost FEEL the intention that went behind creating this pendant. So thankful that it was held so well for something so meaningful.
A beautiful way for my husband to remember and be close to our baby girl who passed away. Thank you for helping us carry her with us everyday.
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.
