Breastmilk Jewelry is a jewelry made from pumping or expressing breast milk as a souvenir that is often worn by mom. Mother's mementos come in many different types of jewelry such as rings, lockets, pendants and popular European style beads. Pendants may include special background colors, children's names and are made in many forms of choice. Some pendants may be set bezel, set pendant, made of only resin, or filled. Styles are filled with preserved milk and resin mixtures to fill holes or openings in the jewelry section, usually Sterling Silver. Generally, a filled form is a tree, a leaf, or a heart that represents love and life.
Various methods can be used to make jewelry. To preserve and protect it, it can be covered with a clear resin or glaze. Regardless of the process used for preservation there appears to be a long and tedious process involved in making a keepsake, which causes long waiting for order fulfillment. Long waiting for order fulfillment has led to online speculation about the practice, even getting media attention.

After purchasing a breastmilk recall design, consumers send their breastmilk to the creator so that the process can begin. Each creator may use different trading processes. In some methods, it is believed that solvents or chemicals are added to aid preservation. Other methods may include dehydration, freeze drying, downward cooking, or mixing of breast milk with other media, forming and healing taking place after a period of drying and/or preserving with a medium mixture. The coating, pouring, or mixing of preserved milk into the resin is believed to be the last step.
