The Process

  • Choose Your Jewelry

    Choose your jewelry setting and if you have additional inclusions to add, add it from the “additional inclusions” collection on the home page. Choose your customizations. If you have any specific design requests, add it in the notes section/upload a sketch or inspiration image. Then checkout. If you have any questions on if something is possible, please email info@adropintimekeepsakes.com so we can chat. Make sure to read the FAQ and policies for any questions you may have.

  • Mail In Your Inclusions

    After you have placed your order you will receive a confirmation email that will contain 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. The turnaround time begins once your inclusions have been received. I will email you to confirm I have received your inclusions.

  • Handcrafting Your Piece

    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 into a fine powder. The preserved milk (or other inclusions) are mixed with jeweler grade resin and used to created 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. If no design idea is provided, I have creative freedom. The stone is placed in your chosen setting. And lastly, quality checked and packaged with love to be sent on it's way to you.

✨How It All Started…✨

After losing my brother in 2022, I created my first piece of jewelry using his ashes.

Not long after, 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 knew one day this chapter would end… and I wasn’t ready to let it go.

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.
