I decided to exclusively breastfeed my son when I was 6 months pregnant with him. I read so many books and articles and even spoke with mommy friends on how to go about breastfeeding successfully. I encountered a lot of obstacles but we persevered. I even quit my job to stay home with my son so I could breastfeed him successfully for the first year of his life since that was the crucial period. And I have no regrets. So when I found out about breastfeeding jewelry, which was usually in a necklace form where the milk was incorporated into a pendant, I researched far and wide until I found the maker I believe suited my needs.Mommy Jenn is the creator of breastmilk jewelry for Sharing Moments by Jenn. I really liked how diverse her designs are and how many types of jewelry she could make. Plus her story resonated with me; she quit her job to take care of her son. She began by crafting a keepsake for herself and her friends, and her business grew by word of mouth. She can incorporate breastmilk and DNA samples like umbilical cord, dried placenta, baby hair, baby nails, milk teeth and even fur babies hair or a dearly departed's ashes. Mommy Jenn makes pendants, earrings, bracelet bead charms, bracelet dangling charms, rings, bangles, cuff links, and frame keepsakes.
The process begins when Mommy Jenn receives the breast milk, and this is preserved with 100% natural and organic elements which work to stabilize, dry and prevent any bacteria growing once it's infused to our hardener. Preservation takes 3-4 days, and once the milk is fully dried, she grinds it to a very fine powder. Then she will start casting by mixing resin to turn it into a stone-like texture. This is the time for molding, drying, designing and polishing will take place. Everything is carefully made by hand and infused with love.
I sent Mommy Jenn some breastmilk and a lock of my son's hair. I asked her to make them into a night sky with the moon and stars. It stands for my loving him to the moon and back. (Cheesy!) When I saw the finished product I was truly amazed and got goosebumps! She even placed iridescent sparkles all around so it looked like a starry night sky. She also included a very nice necklace I could use free of charge. I would highly recommend having her make your breastmilk jewelry as she is very easy to talk to, patient and meticulous in making the keepsakes. Another big plus is her prices which are very affordable compared to her competitors based on my market research. Mommy Jenn is based in Singapore but she comes to the Philippines to share her talent. You can order through their Facebook or Instagram accounts. You won't regret having Mommy Jenn make your keepsakes and I am totally sure you'll love what she makes.
