Also, if you are sending less than 5ml of breast milk, please send it in one container by frozen mail rather than dividing it into smaller portions to prevent leakage.

breastfeeding jewelry

A: Breast milk jewelry is a special piece of jewelry made just for you, with your breast milk poured into it. It is not made by simply adding breast milk, but rather by leaving it for a long time, and each piece goes through a delicate process that is different for each individual piece.

A: We value our customers' trust, just as we value the bond between mother and child. We will videotape the breast milk storage process and send a private link to the email address you used to pay for your purchase. By sharing this process, we hope to bring you closer to the process. If you lose the private link, please let us know your order number and we will resend it. The link to the video of the breast milk storage process will not be shared with anyone other than you. Breast milk jewelry is an intimate and precious gift for mothers, as it symbolizes their love for their babies. We take great pleasure in creating your breast milk jewelry and other accessories, and we want to share our experience as much as possible.

A: Each product is unique, born from the breastfeeding journey. Some breast milk is high in fat, some cannot be crushed, some is light, some is dark, some is thin and powdery. Each type of breast milk is what your baby needed at the time of your breastfeeding. We capture the essence of breast milk and preserve your memories.

A: Each and every product is made by hand. Because it's not machine-made, it's not perfect, but it's unique. Even if we make something twice using the same materials, it won't be the same. For example, the color and shape may vary slightly. Also, even if the same breast milk is used, the color intensity and hue may vary. We do our best to preserve the natural appearance of breast milk. Also, because it's made by hand, there may be small air bubbles. Even if these characteristics exist, they do not affect the lifespan of the product. We take pride in each product and offer a warranty, so please see our warranty information on the terms and conditions page.

A: Yes, if you have multiple children and happen to have breast milk from both feeding periods stored, you can mix them together to make a product. If you would like to make multiple products separately, you can use breast milk from one child for each product. Please contact us in advance if you would like to make a product using multiple breast milks.

A: Yes, you can.

Other materials will only be added if you select the additional option.

others

We accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, Paypay, Pay-easy , Paydy, smartphone payments (QR code), LINE Pay, bank transfer, postal transfer, VISA, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, PayPal, and many other credit cards.

A: For the safety and health of our customers, we do not sell kits that allow you to make your own. The materials used in breast milk jewelry contain substances that can be very dangerous to the maker and their family. I wear a special mask when I work, and my workshop is equipped with special ventilation systems.

Another reason is that my pieces are made using specialized tools and techniques for jewelry making. I spent months learning the techniques from jewelers, other keepsake artists, and at jewelry school. I have a dedicated workshop for all of these materials, tools, and equipment. It takes up an entire room, and I can't work in a makeshift workshop like a table at home.

A: Sakura Milk Jewelry offers two types of crushed opal: Vero Opal (Synthetic) and Ethiopian Opal (AAA gem quality). Vero Opal (Synthetic) has a vibrant color that is easy to see, making it perfect for adding a striking effect to your jewelry gemstones. Ethiopian Opal, on the other hand, has a softer glow that is only visible when the light hits it directly.
Some customers may be hesitant to choose synthetic opal, but in terms of appearance, synthetic Bello Opal will make you look even more beautiful.

A: We cannot engrave all jewelry, but we can engrave approximately 10 characters depending on the jewelry we have. Please select your product from the link below and check the engraving options.

Engraving available for jewelry

A: Yes, you can add your child's hair to most products.

A: Cutting a child's hair for the first time is a big deal for most parents. In America, it is very fashionable to leave a lock of hair as a keepsake to remember the first milestone in a child's life.

A: Yes, we can make all kinds of keepsakes. For example, pet hair memorabilia, a child's first haircut, or flowers for preservation. If you have a request that is not on the list, please contact us. Most of the products featured on our site can be made into other keepsakes upon request.

A: Please see this page for more information about creators.

umbilical cord

A: The tiny umbilical cord that has dried and fallen from a baby's belly button can be turned into jewelry as a precious keepsake. It's difficult to store as is; in Japan's humid climate, it can easily get moldy. Furthermore, its small size makes it easy to lose. Also, if you store it in an umbilical cord case, it's rarely seen, and the case takes up space in your keepsake collection. The umbilical cord connects us to our baby in the womb. It may be a little sad if something happens to it while you're storing it. In some cultures, keeping your baby's umbilical cord close to you is believed to bring you closer to your child or to bring back something loving and precious as you get older.

A: Yes, many of our product listings have this option.

A: There are no special requirements, but to prevent loss, we ask that you use a tracking system for shipping. Please refer to thefollowing for packaging instructions.

A: No, you can send us any part or all of the cord you want. It's fine if it's broken into pieces. However, if you would like the whole cord to be kept as a keepsake, please find a suitable size keepsake and let us know. If you send us the whole cord and some of it doesn't fit, we will carefully pack it together with the keepsake and return it to you.

A: You will receive an email with your shipping address within 24 hours of purchasing your product. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, please feel free to contact us and we will resend the email or provide you with the necessary information. Please also check your spam folder just to be sure.

Frozen breast milk is the perfect material for breast milk jewelry! (Even breast milk that has been frozen for a while is fine!)
