How My Keepsake Journey Began: From Breastmilk Jewelry to Meaningful Art

When I first became a mom, I never imagined that my journey into motherhood would also lead me to becoming a keepsake creator. Like many new moms, I had a vision of how breastfeeding would go — but my journey ended much sooner than I had hoped. It was emotional and, honestly, heartbreaking at the time.

I wanted a way to honor the time I did have, to hold onto that bond and carry it with me. That’s when I made my very first piece of breastmilk jewelry — a small, meaningful keepsake just for myself.

From Personal Keepsake to Passion

When friends and other moms saw what I had created, they started asking if I could make something for them too. Each story was different — some mothers had nursed for years, others for weeks, but all of them wanted a way to preserve their breastfeeding journey.

What began as something deeply personal quickly became a calling. I realized I had not only found a way to heal my own heart but also discovered a gift for helping other mothers celebrate their journeys through custom keepsakes.

Why Breastmilk Jewelry Is So Special

Breastmilk jewelry is more than an accessory. It’s a one-of-a-kind keepsake that holds a piece of your motherhood story. Just like no two journeys are the same, no two pieces are alike. Each keepsake is handcrafted with care, from the preservation process to choosing the perfect setting that reflects your personal style.

Mothers tell me that wearing their jewelry helps them feel connected — a reminder of their love, strength, and bond with their child, no matter how long or short their journey was.

Expanding Into Ultrasound Paintings and Custom Art

As my keepsake work grew, so did my desire to capture other special moments. That’s when I began offering custom ultrasound paintings and portraits. An ultrasound is often the very first glimpse of your baby — the moment love begins to take shape. Turning that image into a hand-painted piece of art gives families a beautiful way to remember the beginning of their child’s story.

Along with jewelry, these motherhood keepsakes allow families to hold onto memories in a tangible, timeless way.

The Heart of My Work

At the core of everything I create — whether it’s breastmilk jewelry, ultrasound paintings, or original artwork — is the same mission: ✨ To help people celebrate what matters most and preserve memories that last a lifetime.

Creating keepsakes is both an honor and a joy. Each piece tells a story of love, resilience, and the beauty of motherhood. And every time I hand over a finished piece, I’m reminded of why I started this journey in the first place — to hold onto love in its most meaningful form.
