Colour & Embellishments:
We have a range of colour and embellishments to pair beautifully with your chosen inclusion/s.
Pearl Pigment - Our pearl pigments have  a varying degree of sparkle/shimmer to suit your tastes. For bresatmilk jewellery these are recommended to use in place of a 'Base Colour' to maintain the white natural tone of the breastmilk. They also pair well with crushed white opal for a stunning light catching cremation keepsake.
Base Colour - This is the colour that sits behind any inclusions, on the bottom layer of your custom crafted stone/s. We recommend 1 base colour for smaller settings such as rings, or 1-2 complimentary base colours for larger settings such as pendants. (Complimentary means colours that work well together & blend nicely such as blue and green, or pink and purple combinations).
Embellishments - These added sparkles and flecks of colour are a great way to add that extra bit of 'bling' to your inclusion jewellery. Embellishments sit in the middle and foreground layers of your stone, depending on how visable or disguised you'd like your inclusion to be. Use these additions to make your piece pop, or to blend/disguise inclusions such as cremation ashes if you'd prefer they weren't the dominant feature of your keepsake. They can also be used to create style effects or to emulate birthstones, or add something extra to a simple piece with the addition of gildering leaf or opalescent shimmer. We recommend 1 embellishment for small bezel settings, or 2 embellishments for larger pieces such as pendants.

Sending your Inclusions:
We craft custom DNA Jewellery for people all over New Zealand. No matter where you live in the country, we can create your special piece.
Your precious inclusions are treated with the upmost care and respect.
All unused inclusions will be returned to you along with your finished piece, with the exception of breastmilk.
For breastmilk jewellery, we will dehydrate and preserve the milk into powdered form. The remaining powder will be halved, with half returned to you in a small keepsake vial, and the other half kept on file with your name and order number incase anything needs repairs or replacement in future, and allowing you to order more pieces later down the track when your breastfeeding journey is over.
*Learn how to prepare and send your inclusion here.
 
After Purchase:
After your complete your purchase here, Jen will be in touch via email to confirm colour choices and arrange for collection or delivery of your inclusion to our Forest Lake studio for crafting. During the crafting process we will email you with proof photos of your inclusion stone/s before it's set into your piece. This allows you to make changes to the colours, embellishments and depth of inclusions, so that it's just as you envision. We want to ensure you absolutely love your piece, so the finished setting will only be sent home after you've approved the final design.
