Breast Milk Initial Jewelry
A breast milk initial necklace combines two of the most personal things you can wear: a stone made from your own milk and the first letter of your baby’s name. Where a plain initial necklace says whose mother you are, this one also says how you cared for them.
The Alix necklace is the heart of this collection. A small milk stone sits beside a letter charm on a fine chain, handcrafted in our studio in 925 sterling silver or solid 9K, 14K and 18K gold in yellow, rose or white. Choose any letter of the alphabet.
Why an initial with your milk
Initial jewelry has always been a mother’s way of keeping her children close, and it works beautifully for more than one child: add a letter for each. Combined with a breast milk stone, it becomes a keepsake that is specific to one baby and one season of your life, which is why it is a popular push present and first Mother’s Day gift.
Ordering your initial necklace
Select the metal and the letter, and we mail you a free breast milk shipping kit with a leak-proof vial, a prepaid tracked return envelope and clear instructions. About one tablespoon of milk is enough. Your milk is stabilized, blended with a special acrylic resin, cast in thin layers and polished into a stone, then set by hand. Standard production is six to eight weeks from the day your milk arrives; see our shipping and returns page for the full process.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add more than one initial?
Each Alix necklace carries one letter. For several children, many mothers order one necklace per child and wear them layered, or pair the initial necklace with a breast milk charm for each additional baby.
Silver or gold for an initial necklace?
Rhodium-plated sterling silver is bright and accessible. Solid gold is stronger and better for a necklace worn every day, and it is never plated at Mama Jewels. Compare both in our Silver Collection and Gold Collection.
