Keepsake Jewelry FAQs

Keepsake Jewelry – Frequently Asked Questions

✉️ How do I send my inclusions?
After placing your order, you’ll receive simple instructions on how to package and send your inclusions (such as ashes, hair, or breast milk). You’ll also get the mailing address to send them to me in Fredericton, NB.

📏 How much do you need?

  • Ashes: ¼ to 1 teaspoon is plenty. Unused ashes will be returned.
  • Hair: A small lock of hair, around 1 inch long.
  • Breast milk: 10 ml is ideal, but I can work with as little as 5 ml. Frozen milk is fine — just thaw before sending.
  • Flowers: A few petals per colour.
  • Sand or soil: About ½ teaspoon.
  • Fabric: A 1x1 inch piece is enough.
Never send your entire supply. I only need a small amount for each piece.

 

⏳ What is your turnaround time?
Once I receive your inclusions, I usually create your piece within 4–7 weeks. If I have the setting in stock, it may be sooner. I’ll send you a photo for approval before shipping your keepsake.

➕ Can I include more than one type of inclusion?
Absolutely. You can combine ashes, hair, flowers, or other inclusions in the same piece. Just note that the more inclusions you add, the smaller the amount of each that will be used.

🧼 How do I care for my keepsake jewelry?
To help your piece last as long as possible, I’ve created a simple care guide with everything you need to know. You can read it here: Jewelry Care Instructions

💬 What if I have questions before sending?
I’m happy to help! Send me a message through the website or Facebook anytime. I want you to feel confident and supported through the entire process.

    I started researching for a local artist who could design a breastmilk jewelry piece so I was so excited when I found Julie! Her work speaks for itself - it is crafted with love, with attention to detail and made into a beautiful long lasting piece of jewelry. I now have a reminder everytime I look at my wrist of my beautiful rainbow boy and our breastfeeding journey together. Thank you Julie!

    My partner had a breast milk pendant necklace made by Julie for my birthday. I wear it every single day, it is so beautiful and is a constant reminder of the journey of being a first time mom. I couldn’t be happier with it and so glad my partner found Julie!

    Shortly after my beloved Goldendoodle, Penny, passed away after blessing me with 12 1/2 years of unconditional love, I stumbled upon Keepsakes by Julie’s Facebook page. Her jewelry is beautiful and not at all “tacky” like some company’s keepsake pieces. I immediately knew I had to get a ring made. I ordered the silver twisted ring with resin stone in “pearl”. It turned out exactly as pictured on her page! I received it quickly and am so happy with the quality. Communicating with Julie was always quick and easy. I could just feel that she puts a lot of care into what she does. I would most definitely recommend her business for any keepsake items you may want. The leftover ashes were returned to me and I feel very confident that my Girl’s ashes were handled with TLC.

    I am so happy with my beautiful breastmilk ring! It has breastmilk, pieces of my daughters umbilical cord, her birthstone crystals and some opal flakes to give it that shimmer! Julie was a joy to work with, answering any questions I had along the way and making the process so easy. Service was very fast and efficient, and I felt well appreciated as a customer. I will definitely be ordering again in the future. If you’re thinking about ordering, it’s so worth! Highly recommend.
