Some memories deserve more than a photograph.

One day, the late-night feeds end. Your baby grows, becomes more independent, and before you know it, the moments that filled your days and nights become memories.

Whether you breastfed for years, a few days, or only saved one small bag of milk in the freezer, your breastmilk tells your story. It represents the love, sacrifice, and journey that shaped your motherhood.

Preserve the chapter that changed you forever.


I transform breastmilk, ashes, hair, fur, and other meaningful inclusions into handcrafted keepsakes you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

  • Only 1 ounce of breastmilk needed
  • Human & pet ashes welcome
  • Expired milk and colostrum welcome
  • Handcrafted by a fellow mom in Washington

Your Keepsakes Journey

Choose Your Jewelry:

Choose your favorite jewelry piece. Fill in the form. You’ll have your choice of metal, add ins, adding whitener, and sizing if applicable. If you have any specific design requests, add it in the notes section/upload a sketch or inspiration image.

Mail Your Inclusions:

After purchase, you will get a confirmation email with your order number and the address to mail your inclusions to. Check your spam folder if you aren’t seeing the email.


You will need to read the ‘Mailing Instructions’ tab for full instructions.
You pay to send your inclusions to me and I send you the keepsake back for free. The turnaround time begins once your inclusions have been received.

I will email you to let you know your inclusions have been received

Inclusion Preservation:

Every preservation is worked on one at a time. For breastmilk, it goes through a heating process to remove moisture and bacteria for preservation. This turns to a paste that dries and is ground and sifted into a fine powder.

Handcrafting Your Keepsake:

Every keepsake is worked on one at a time. The preserved milk (or other inclusions) are mixed with jeweler grade resin and used to create your stone. If you provided a design idea with a sketch and description, or inspiration images, I do my best to bring your design to life. Please note, there are no guarantees on final placement.
The stone is placed in your chosen setting.

Carefully Packaged and Returned:

Your jewelry keepsake is quality checked and packaged with love to be sent on its way to you, as well as any leftover inclusions— excluding milk.

Preserved milk is held on file for 2 years. This allows for you to place additional orders if you want to use the same milk in another keepsake.

Meet The Keepsake Maker

Hi, I’m Jade, the owner of A Drop In Time Keepsakes.

After losing my brother in 2022, I created my first memorial keepsake because I needed a way to hold him close.

A few years later, I became a mom. Breastfeeding created a bond I never expected — one that felt impossible to let go of. My journey wasn’t easy. I struggled through pain caused by a hernia that wasn’t diagnosed until years later, but I pushed through and reached my goal of one year… and kept going until I was forced to stop at 2 years and 4 months for surgery.

I wasn’t ready to leave the chapter behind, so I found a way to preserve it.

What started as something deeply personal became A Drop In Time Keepsakes — a way to help others hold onto the moments that matter most.

Whether it’s honoring your breastfeeding journey or keeping a loved one close, each piece is created to turn your memories into something you can physically hold forever.

Every piece is handcrafted by me because I know these aren’t just jewelry orders. They’re someone’s story.

Quick FAQ

What can be preserved?

Inclusions I can work with include breastmilk, ashes, hair, fur, whiskers, claws, encapsulated placenta, umbilical cord, soil, sand, and flowers. If you have anything else in mind, please contact me via info@adropintimekeepsakes.com and we’ll chat about the possibilities!

Can I combine inclusions?

Yes absolutely, I can combine multiple inclusions for an additional $5.

If you have a second milk sample that needs preserved for your piece, it costs $25. Each milk will be preserved separately.

If you order more than one keepsake, be sure to note which milk is for which keepsake or if the preference is to combine the milks into one keepsake.

How do I mail inclusions?

Different inclusions have different methods to ship. You will need to read the ‘Mailing Instructions’ tab for full instructions.

Please make sure milk is fully thawed and at room temperature before mailing.

Can I use old, thawed, or expired milk?

As long as it isn’t moldy, it is good to use. The milk will not be consumed so it’s okay!

One day you’ll realize it was the last time.

The last nursing session.
The last walk with your best friend.
The last hug from someone you loved.

We rarely know it’s the last time until it’s already become a memory.
