Jewelry Care & Warranty — Mama Milk Fairy
Your breastmilk and DNA keepsake jewelry is more than just a piece of adornment — it’s a deeply personal legacy item, handmade with love and care. To help your jewelry last a lifetime, please follow the care instructions below. You’ll also find details about your warranty and tips for cleaning and storing your keepsake.
How Do I Care for My Breastmilk or DNA Jewelry?
Every keepsake I create is made with high-quality jewelry-grade resin. This gem-like material is durable, but not indestructible. With proper care, your keepsake can last a lifetime.
To protect your piece, please:
Remove it before showering, swimming, bathing, or exercising
Avoid contact with lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaning products
Do not expose it to prolonged sunlight, UV lamps, or extreme heat
Avoid sleeping with your jewelry on
Handle with care — avoid dropping or hitting it against hard surfaces
Regularly check prongs or settings to ensure your gem is secure
Reminder: Breastmilk and DNA jewelry is not meant for everyday wear. It is considered adornment jewelry — treat it like a legacy piece.
Can My Jewelry Discolor, Tarnish, or Mould?
The resin preservation method I use is trademarked and proven across thousands of keepsakes. Your preserved breastmilk, ashes, hair, or other inclusions are sealed safely and should not mold or discolor — if cared for properly.
However, environmental exposure (like heat, chemicals, or moisture) can affect both the resin and the metal setting. Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
How Should I Clean My Keepsake Jewelry?
Use a soft polishing cloth only on the metal setting (sterling silver, gold filled, or solid gold)
Do not use polishing cloths on the resin gem
To restore shine to the resin component, gently wipe it with a soft cloth and Flitz International polish (the only brand I recommend)
Do not polish gold plated jewelry — it can rub off the plating
How Should I Store My Jewelry?
Keep your jewelry in a lined jewelry box or tarnish-resistant pouch, away from:
Direct sunlight
Heat sources
Moist or humid environments (e.g., bathrooms)
Each order includes a jewelry box or pouch that’s perfect for storage. Avoid storing pieces in exposed containers.
What Is the Shelf Life of Keepsake Jewelry?
Your preserved breastmilk or DNA gem is designed to last indefinitely. While resin is durable, your piece is one-of-a-kind and not replaceable — so please care for it accordingly. If properly cared for, your jewelry will remain a treasured heirloom for years to come.
My Jewelry Lost Its Shine — What Can I Do?
Humidity can affect the shine of resin (just like silver can tarnish). Here’s what to do:
Use Flitz International polish on the resin only
Use a soft cloth — no brushes or abrasive materials
Do not polish gold-plated metal; only gently clean the gem
Avoid generic silver polishes as they may damage your keepsake
