Before you Order
Before ordering your jewelry, we invite you to take a moment to explore the essential elements that will help you make an informed choice. Every La Voie Lactée creation is designed to stand the test of time—and every detail matters.
For memorial jewelry made with ashes, the process is exactly the same; the only difference is that ashes are incorporated into the stone instead of breast milk.
A Guide to Help You Choose
Our jewelry is available in three materials: Sterling Silver (.925), Vermeil Gold Plating, and Solid 10K Gold (14K and 18K gold are available upon request).
To learn more about our materials and better understand the differences between each finish, we invite you to visit our dedicated Materials & Craftsmanship page.
Ring Sizing
It is important to provide a standard ring size (full or half size). Orders cannot be processed using finger circumference measurements in mm or cm, so please ensure that you provide a standard ring size when ordering.
A visit to a local jeweler is the best way to obtain an accurate measurement. Specialized ring-sizing tools are also available on Amazon.
Choosing the Finish of Your Breast Milk Stone
Once you have selected your jewelry design, it is time to create the soul of your piece: your breast milk stone.
You may choose from several finishes—Pearl for a soft satin effect, Sparkling for a touch of light, or simply White or Natural in their purest expression.
Pure white is rarely the natural color of breast milk. Very few milk samples are naturally bright white. To create a soft and harmonious appearance, a small amount of pigment is carefully added to the stone, as explained on our preparation page.
However, if you would prefer your stone to reflect the natural color of your breast milk without any additions, simply let us know and we will gladly honor your preference.
Product photos have been edited to provide a consistent visual presentation. We encourage you to visit our Instagram page to discover the thousands of creations we have made and the beautiful variety of finishes they display.
Each finish reveals a different shade of your story.
Choose the one that resonates most with your heart and your journey.
✨ Pure White Finish
The easiest finish to maintain and the most stable over time. Bright white, soft, and uniform, it offers a classic and timeless appearance—almost celestial.
✨ Sparkling Finish
Luminous and eye-catching, it captures light like a cherished memory. A subtle white base is incorporated to help preserve its beauty over the years.
✨ Natural Finish
Here, the milk expresses itself exactly as it is, without alteration. Once crystallized, the stone may range in color from off-white and cream to soft yellow or pale gray. A raw, intimate, and authentic tribute.
✨ Pearl Finish
The most mysterious and ever-changing finish. Sometimes marked by deep pearlescent reflections, sometimes more subtle, it evolves according to each mother's milk. It may display shades of cream, ivory, or gray—a delicate surprise that is always unique. In its waterproof version, its beauty is simply remarkable.
🌙 Colored Flakes
You may also add delicate flakes to your stone—gold, silver, iridescent, or colored—for a personal and magical touch. Multiple color options are available directly on the product page.
Hair Locks
For some, a tiny lock of hair is all that remains of their child's baby years. For others, it may be a cherished lock saved from a first haircut.
A lock of hair can be incorporated into your stone, with or without breast milk.
To ensure the placement reflects your vision, we recommend including a sketch indicating your preferred positioning of the hair within the stone.
Umbilical Cord & Placenta
It is also possible to incorporate finely ground umbilical cord or placenta into your stone, with or without breast milk.
Please note that it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the material has been properly dried and reduced to a fine powder before being sent.
You are welcome to include a sketch with your inclusion to indicate your preferred placement within the stone.
✨ A Deeply Personalized Creation
Every La Voie Lactée piece is highly customizable—from the metal you choose to the design itself, from the stone finish to the meaningful elements incorporated within it. You have the freedom to create a piece that reflects your story, with intention, beauty, and meaning.
We invite you to browse the "They Love It" and "Inspiration" highlights on our Instagram page for ideas and inspiration.
A touch of creativity, a piece of your story—that is the essence of La Voie Lactée.
You may also choose to add unique elements to your stone:
Soft or deeper color tones, delicate dried flowers, or any meaningful symbol that resonates with your journey.
Simply share your vision with us, and together we will explore how to bring it to life.
