​
CAN I HAVE A KEEPSAKE PIECE OF JEWELLERY WITHOUT ANY BREAST MILK?
Yes, of course you can.
You can also order any piece of jewellery made of anything you might find special. For
instance, the first baby lock of hair or a little piece of the umbilical cord, the first baby tooth, first baby socks or pijamas (a bit of cloth), cremation ashes. Also it is possible to order a fingerprint piece of jewellery.
HOW SHOULD I SEND THE SAMPLES?
Breastmilk: we need a minimum of 20ml of breast milk in order to pasteurized it. It should be safely kept in a milk extraction bag or a Zip plastic bag. Please try to get out as much air as possible. fold it and placed it in another similar bag. So we will have double hermetic seal. Please write down your name and surname in both bags. It can be expired milk, as long as it has been kept in the freezer.
Hair: we need a thing lock of hair (no more than 2cm long) Please tie it up with a thread, so it will be together and safe.
Umbilical cord: it will be enough with a little piece of cord, that you can take once the clamp has fallen off.
Cremation Ashes: we will need two teaspoons of cremation ashes for each piece of jewellery. It should be kept in a zip plastic bag. In case we do not use it all, we will send it back together with your piece of jewellery.
Fingerprints: first we will send you a special silicone for you to take the mold of the fingerprint. (we will send you as well a video explaining you how to take the mold, is really easy) Then you will send me, through post the fingerprint mold and with that we will make your piece of jewellery.
WHAT HAPPENS WITH SAMPLES THAT ARE LEFT?
we keep the breast milk that is left safely and tagged for one year. In case the client
would like to order any other piece during that time. After that period of time I will dispose
of the sample.
Dry samples such as umbilical cord, hair, cremation ashes... will be keep safely tagged for two year, after that period of time, the sample will be dispose with the exception of the cremation ashes, in which case they will be returned it to their families.
​
HOW CAN I KNOW MY SAMPLE WON’T GET MIXED WITH OTHERS?
We certainly know that many people fear this, which is perfectly understandable, but you can be certain that that won’t happen as I have a structured work system, spotless and extremely well organized. To
start with each sample is properly tagged with name and surname, plus a code associated with each client. When we are working on a project, only the piece of jewellery and the sample we are using for the purpose will remain on our working desk.
We never work on two projects at the same time. Finally, we never start making a new
piece until everything is spotlessly clean.
