Stone Resurfacing
- Description
Milk & Stone offers a resurfacing service using our world-first waterproof and non-yellowing stone material, designed to extend the lifespan of your keepsake and reduce the chance of yellowing over time.
If your keepsake was originally made by Milk & Stone and your stone has become scratched or dull, we can repair it with a new outer layer.
Please contact us before purchasing to confirm compatibility of our stone material with your keepsake.
This service is available for pre-approved orders only and does not include the cost of shipping your jewellery to our workshop.
For yellow resin keepsakes, we also offer the option to crush the original resin stone and incorporate its fragments into a brand-new Milk & Stone keepsake, preserving its sentimental value in a fresh design. Your jewellery components will be returned to you with your completed order
Let customers speak for us
I picked up my pendants from the PO earlier today, and to say I love them would be an understatement. Thank you so much ❤️❤️ They were so well worth the wait.
The ring you made is something I will treasure forever, thank you so much for doing what you do🩵
I just received my ring and I am seriously so thankful to you for making such a beautiful keepsake for me. This is such a beautiful reminder ❤️ you are amazing
I cannot recommend Lauren and her company, Milk and Stone, enough. I sent in my milk (from the US!) while I was still nursing my toddler and received my ring just a few weeks after we officially stopped. She made the process simple and easy with frequent communication and I am forever grateful for this beautiful keepsake I have to remember this special time of nurturing my baby. Completely worth the wait, thank you Lauren!
Seeing my little love drift off to sleep while breastfeeding is pure magic. This beautiful keepsake will always remind me how special this time is.
Thank you so much.
4 years and 5 pregnancies later we were blessed with our boy. Unfortunately my breastfeeding journey wasn't as long as I would have liked but now I have a beautiful keepsake to remember that special time.
I absolutely love my ring with my mums ashes I feel no matter where she is I still have her close.
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 was so impressed with your communication through the entire process! It was amazing! Thank you so much!😊
Hi Lauren,
Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece for me; it’s even better than I could have imagined.
In a week & a half I will have been exclusively breastfeeding my little love for 6 months & I’m so glad that I now have something to symbolise how special this journey is. Thanks again 🥰
Breastfeeding didn’t come naturally to me or my baby, but we learned together. Each session felt a bit easier as we found our rhythm. Our bond grew stronger with each passing day, and I found a new appreciation for my resilience.
I could not be happier with my keepsake necklace. The customer service was outstanding and I got updated throughout the entire process. It turned out exactly as I had hoped and I would highly recommend.
My friend and I had our first babies two months apart and I chose Milk & Stone to create breastmilk keepsakes for us to cherish our journeys. The process is very easy to follow because Lauren provides clear and detailed instructions on how to prepare and ship the inclusions for the jewelry. I especially appreciated receiving email updates with what part of the process the jewelry was in.
There are countless makers out there for breastmilk jewelry but I found that M&s was the only one to truly offer a waterproof and non yellowing option.
The end product is dainty, beautiful, and of high quality.
Like with any exquisite, handcrafted piece of art
- it is worth the wait. Thanks a million, Milk & Stone team!
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!
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.
