Milky jewelry
Breastfeeding is a real adventure in a mom's life. Whether it goes smoothly or, on the contrary, with great difficulty, it is nonetheless an unforgettable stage. In recent years, the concept milk jewelry seducing more and more women, looking of a unique and symbolic maternity object.
How it works ? Each manufacturer has their own preservation technique, but it is obvious that breast milk cannot be inserted into a jewel in its raw form.
