1 Ounce Breastmilk | 1 Teaspoon Ashes
I Create Your Keepsake
I will email you when I receive your inclusions. Your inclusions are then carefully preserved and incorporated into your handcrafted piece.
Your Memory Comes Home
Your finished jewelry is quality checked, packaged with care and sent back to you.
Preserved milk is kept on file for 2 years. All other leftover inclusions will be sent back to customer.
If there is any leftover ashes in the resin, a heart mold will be filled with the remaining amount so you’ll get every piece of your loved one back.❤️

Handcrafted by Me
I'm Jade, the artist behind A Drop In Time Keepsakes. Every piece is personally handcrafted by me, never mass-produced.
After losing my brother in 2022, I created my first memorial jewelry using his ashes. Later, becoming a mom and experiencing my own breastfeeding journey gave keepsake jewelry an entirely new meaning to me.
A Drop In Time Keepsakes grew from those two deeply personal chapters of my life.
Today, I create each piece knowing I'm not simply being trusted with an order—I'm being trusted with part of someone's story.
