You will have multiple options regarding any leftover milk powder: 1. I will store your milk powder on file for any future orders you may want to place. This can save you money from the initial shipping of inclusions. When purchasing any of my pieces, you will be asked if you already have milk powder stored with us and if you would like to store any inclusions you are sending with your current order. 2. I am happy to send back the preserved milk with your order! If this is an option you wish to pursue, please be sure to include this in the order notes. 3. If you wish, we can discard any leftover inclusions after your order is complete. Please indicate this choice in the order notes.

I ask for 1 ounce of milk, triple bagged, to be sent once an order is placed. Milk bags work best for shipping and help to prevent any leaking.

If you choose to store your milk on file with me, I will keep it for 2 years. If you request, I will keep it on file for longer. This can be a great way to save money on shipping throughout the ordering process.

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, UV rays and extreme temperatures. Always remove before going into a sauna or before tanning. Remove your jewelry before you bathe, swim, wash hands, apply sanitizer lotion or oil. ​ The build up of residue and chemicals can dull the sheen of the breast milk stone. Do not use anything abrasive or scrub your jewelry with anything rough. If exposed to abrasive materials, the gold finish may wear down and metals in your jewelry can tarnish over time. ​ Store your jewelry in the box provided and store in a cool and dark place. To clean your jewelry, use a mild soap, cold water and polish with a dry cotton cloth.
