Can I wear my keepsake every day?
Gold Plated and Rose Gold plated keepsakes are NOT suitable for everyday use. Gold plated or Rose Gold plated pieces are coated with a thin layer of gold, and good after care must be taken to maintain the integrity of the piece. If you want to wear your keepsake more often we recommend to choose white gold plated.
925 Sterlin Silver is a good and durable material but it is NOT solid gold, so a good care of your keepsake it is paramount.

How is my milk processed?
Once we receive your milk, it will be meticulously processed to eliminate bacteria and preserve it using chemical agents. It will then be subjected to a drying process that could last several days. Once the humidity has been eliminated, the milk is now in the form of crystals. At this point it will be crushed manually using a pestle and mortar until it is reduced to a very fine powder that will be used to create your precious milk stone. Milk stones will have different colors based on the composition of your milk, so it will be a truly unique jewel.

Do I need to lookafter my jewel?
​Your keepsake will deserve careful attention to maintain its beauty. Do not expose it to water (wash hands, take shower, etc), do not wear it while you work out, sunbathe or sleep. We recommend storing your jewel in the velvet pouch provided. Avoid direct exposure with chemicals (perfume, hairspray, lotion, etc), extreme temperatures and prolonged exposure to sunlight in order to prevent discoloration of the keepsake stone, preserving its charm and ensuring it remains a cherished piece for years to come.
