Colors and additions
You can personalize your Milk Gems Memorial/ DNA jewelry (eg. jewelry containing breastmilk, cremains or ashes) by adding a lock of hair, real pearl powder, colors or gold leaf. Keep scrollint to see examples. Keep in mind that your inclusions such as breastmilk, a lock of hair or ashes is unique and will never look the same as someone else's.
What looks bright and colorful in someone else's jewelry may look very different in your jewelry. This is especially true for cremains jewelry, where color differences can vary significantly. I will always strive to create the perfect balance between shades, shimmer parts and effects in your Milk Gems jewelry. Having trouble choosing add-ons? See my recommendations at the bottom of the page.
Pearl powder is incorporated in the left ring and in the left heart. The right ring and heart is breastmilk without an addition. Pearl powder provides a whiter color and gives a subtle shine that is really visible in the sun.
An opal effect has been created in the yellow gold earrings by adding small reflective sheets / pieces that give a pink and yellow glow. The glow and color are a lot more limited and coarser than with real opal.
Flowers (in the bottles) top row from left to right:
1) rose petals 2) purple mallow 3) peony petals
The flowers (in the bottles) bottom row from left to right:
4) white cornflower 5) helichrysum flowers 6) calendula leaves.
Adding color to ashes gives an extra dimension to your jewellery. It does not mask the ash, but it is less noticeable that it is an cremains jewellery.
No color has been added to these earrings. This allows you to see the ashes in their natural state.
For memorial jewelry or jewelry containing ashes, depending on the jewelry and your wishes, I also add colored stones. This gives a special effect and completes the piece of jewelry. Green stones have been added to this pendant to create a nice contrast.
Sometimes a little shimmer in combination with color and/or stone memorial jewelry gives a different dimension. Cremains jewelry does not have to be grey or black. Feel free to choose a different color.
I can hand engrave or add a stamp letter to jewelry. A punch letter is processed on a heart or round coin and added to your Milk Gems pendant. It hangs separately next to your pendant or charm. Engraving is done in the metal part of a Milk Gems piece of jewelry. Engraving is not possible with every piece of jewelry. Finally, with some jewelry you can also add a text or letter in the jewelry itself. This is indicated on the jewelry page where this is possible.
