Breast milk jewelry

Texas mom Bridgette Boudreaux has figured out a way to turn breast milk into jewelry, allowing mothers to permanently "commemorate the bond between mother and child." She calls her business JoBri Milk Charms, and she boasts, "You're getting what came from you." She can also add some placental blood to the jewelry, upon request.

I have the nagging feeling that we've seen breast-milk jewelry before here at WU, but I searched and can't find it anywhere. So maybe not.

Just waiting for someone to some outfit to market dingleberries as an accessory--which, unlike this stuff, is more marketable to the green set as there is very little (if any) additional processing required.

Well, when you've got a winning idea there's no sense in not milking it for all it's worth.

I remember breast milk cheese from a NY chef. Maybe that's what you were thinking?

I'd stay with a locket with a lock of hair and picture.

If you're getting where you came from how about some jewelry made from "other bodily fluids" ?

No reason it wouldn't work. I'm sure that would be a gift any girl would cherish.

What about the fluids that stained Monica's dress. Are they now stored away in a secret FBI vault along with The Arc of the Covenant?

If you wish to make some artificial coprolite jewellery from your loved ones faeces, here is a method to petrify wood. I am not sure if the process will transfer?

Why not, you're already wearing that cremation ash jewelry you had made when your cat died.

I'm pretty sure we've had breast milk ice cream, as well. On the site, that is, not in person.
