Breast milk is a sacred river of purity and life, a physical manifestation of your spirit, flowing into and nourishing your newborn child. Whether you nursed well into toddlerhood, or struggled to get through those first few weeks. Maybe you had to depend on the generosity of other mothers to nourish your baby through a milk bank, or perhaps you were a milk donor yourself. Some women choose to nurse openly in public, while others pump and bottle feed their breastmilk to their children. Each mother’s breastfeeding story is unique, and each one deserves to be celebrated.
This new handblown glass Mother’s Milk pendant is a symbol of love and sacrifice. A simple yet stunning necklace that is also a wonderful keepsake created to honor your breastfeeding journey. Mother’s Milk jewelry is also a memorable thank you gift for your lactation consultant, wet nurse, midwife, post partum doula, milk donor, and any supportive person who has helped you in your efforts to provide the very best for your baby.
In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week, we are offering up this new glass pendant design at a discounted introductory price of only $18! (This limited time offer is good until August 7.) Each hand crafted glass art milk droplet is individually flame sculpted and one of a kind. The glass is then kiln annealed to ensure durability. Each pendant is appx 1” long, and comes lovingly wrapped in a gift box with a free black cotton necklace cord. These photos show the Mother’s Milk pendant on an 18″ sterling silver box chain. (The chain is not included, but is available separately on the Necklace Options page.)
O, thou beautiful damsel, may the four oceans
Of the earth contribute the secretion of milk
In thy breasts for the purpose for improving
The bodily strength of the child
O, thou with the beautiful face, may the child
Reared on your milk, attain a long life, like
The gods made immortal with drinks of nectar
~Sushruta (translated)
