More Than Milk: Meaningful Inclusions for Your Breastmilk Keepsake

When you choose to have a breastmilk keepsake made, you’re not just preserving a moment—you’re telling your story. Every keepsake I create is uniquely yours, and one of the most beautiful parts of that process is adding inclusions—the meaningful little extras that make your piece even more personal.

If you’ve been wondering what you can add to your breastmilk ring, pendant, bead, or charm, here’s a list of special inclusions that can be infused into your keepsake to represent your journey, your baby, and the love you poured into every feeding.

Nurture Essence Ring

Birth Flowers

Delicate and symbolic, dried and crushed birth flowers can be added to your piece for a soft, romantic touch. Whether it's your baby’s birth month or your own, these blooms add color and connection to the moment you became a mother.

Mica Powders

For a subtle shimmer or pop of color, mica powders are a favorite. Think opal-inspired glow, dreamy pearlescence, or even a soft hue that matches your baby’s nursery or your favorite tone.

Glitter & Sparkle

If you love a little extra dazzle, glitter can be added in various colors and finishes. From soft champagne sparkle to bold and holographic shimmer, glitter is a fun way to reflect joy and celebration in your keepsake.

Gold, Silver & Rose Gold Flakes

For a touch of elegance and timelessness, real metallic flakes add stunning depth and luxury. Whether you’re drawn to warm rose gold, classic gold, or sleek silver, these inclusions elevate your keepsake with a rich, textured beauty.

Locks of Hair

Adding a tiny curl or snip of your baby’s hair—or even your own—can create a deeply emotional connection within your keepsake. This is especially meaningful for first haircuts or babies who’ve graduated from nursing.

Placenta Powder or Umbilical Cord

These sacred inclusions represent the earliest bond you shared. If you have a small amount of encapsulated placenta or preserved umbilical stump, it can be finely ground and respectfully added into your piece to honor that life-giving connection.

A Note on Combinations

Many families choose to blend multiple inclusions—like a birthflower and a lock of hair, or shimmer and metallic flakes—to tell a fuller story. I’m always happy to help you design something that feels balanced and beautiful.

Your Keepsake, Your Story

No two keepsakes are ever the same—because no two stories are. Whether you want your piece to be soft and natural or full of sparkle and symbolism, the options are as limitless as the love that inspired it.
