I love my pendant! It was wonderful to get status updates when my milk was received, cured, processed, and shipped back to me. The result is beautiful and I’m so glad to have this memory item for my lost baby.

I absolutely LOVE my necklace! It’s so beautiful! Im 6.5 months into breastfeeding and unfortunately, it will be coming to an end soon since my supply is dropping. It means so much to be able to save this little piece of our bond and wear it close to my heart. I will treasure it always!

The only reason I provided a 4 was due to the video. I expected to see more of the process such as my milk being received and opened. I expected to see the jewelry being made. It was not a very extensive video and specifically, did not include showing the milk I sent being manipulated. The milk had already been powdered and I could not tell it was mine since it wasn’t the package I sent being opened. However, the final product is beautiful.
Jeff (store manager) –
Hello Jessica, thank you so much for your feedback! Its true, that the video starts only from the moment we open the bag with dry milk, however, we state it right before you purchase the video in our drop-down menu. We get many requests for the videos, and I can keep up only if the video is of me making the piece only, not milk processing (which takes multiple steps and takes two weeks to turn it into powder).
I am very happy you love the final product, though! Thank you again! 🙂 Anna

Everything about this experience was excellent!
* The website was easy to use when planning my wife’s “boob juice” pendant and necklace. What they showed was what I got. Actually, it’s shinier, bigger, and prettier.
* The collection package (with pre-paid return packaging) was pretty straight-forward although using the second bag required a little thinking; not much, though.
* The communication throughout the entire process was perhaps the best I’ve ever experienced from an online retailer. Keepsake told me (a) when they shipped the collection package; (b) when they received my return package; (c) when they started the manufacturing process; (d) when they started curing the pendant; and (e) when they shipped it.
I ordered the pendant/necklace around Thanksgiving on an expedited basis. Keepsake delivered the product to me 1.5 weeks before Christmas.
My wife cried (happy tears) when she opened the gift. When our boy weaned off of “boob juice” (sorry, I just like saying it), it was tough on her. Now she feels like she has a tangible keepsake of all the hard work she put into breastfeeding: sacrificing so much sleep to feed and pump, dealing with the pain, pumping in odd public places… basically planning her diet and day around feeding and pumping.
THANK YOU!

I’m immensely grateful for this beautiful necklace. My little girl was stillborn and I couldn’t bear to throw away the milk my body made after her death. This piece will be a treasured connection with my beautiful little one who passed too soon.

This was a beautiful reminder of my breastfeeding relationship with my daughter. I ordered it shortly before she turned 1 and I received it toward the tail end of our weaning process, which was a special time. Keepsake Mom sent periodic updates describing what stage of processing the jewelry was in so that I could know when my milk was received, and how long to expect it to take. I plan on ordering another one for each of my future children!
