A letter from the owners
Friends and followers,
As always, we’re overwhelmed with your support of our business for another year! Your orders and support are so appreciated. We were able to add two additional team members to our growing team this year—we’re now up to EIGHT WOMEN!! Can you believe it? We started as a little breastmilk jewelry business that made jewelry in the extra bedroom in 2018. In a little over 6.5 years, we’ve grown so much as a business, as businesswomen, as artists, as mothers, and as friends.
This sweet honeycomb eternity band is minimal and classic and a crowd favorite at Milk + Honey. And yes, the bands are stackable!
Available in 925 sterling silver, solid 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, and 14K white gold. Each band measures approximately 5mm from top to bottom, and the stones inside the cells are approximately 4mm across. You can choose to fill all cells, have a random amount filled, or choose a specific amount. Please note this information at checkout. Each ring has a total of 17 cells.
Please note that rings that are this thick (5mm from top to bottom) may feel more snug on your finger, especially if you’re stacking them. Head to a jeweler to get sized, and ask for their recommendation for sizing when wearing a 5mm ring. You may need to size up a half size or 3/4 of a size!
*Disclaimer: This ring style changed slightly in August 2024. Any rings purchased prior to August 2024 may not stack nicely with a ring purchased after that time. So sorry for the inconvenience.
You'll be prompted to choose all options (size and design requests) at checkout.
Prices reflect inclusion of one batch of milk per band.
Note: The cells in this ring are too small to include a lock of hair.
Please read through our entire FAQ page before ordering!
Our entire heirloom collection is crafted by a master jewelry artisan, on par with (or better than!) what you’d find in a cream-of-the-crop fine jewelry store. Each custom piece is crafted individually by Buffalo Craft Co. for Milk + Honey®’s customer, is made of heavy and thick solid 14K gold, and hand polished to a mirror finish. We use the highest quality materials in our unique timeless designs, and our prices reflect both the superior quality and the ever-changing metals market. No warehouse rings from China will be found around here! If you have questions, please shoot us an email.
This year wasn’t without its hardships, though! I’m sure you’ve noticed that your groceries have increased in price to a staggering amount (I know I have!). Well, in the jewelry world, the equivalent of that is GOLD. When we started this company on April 20, 2018, the price of gold that day was about $1,336 an ounce. Today (December 17, 2024), it’s $2,660 per ounce. Literally almost a 100% increase! In 2024 alone, the price of gold has increased over 31%. We’ve hesitated for a long time to increase our own prices on solid gold items enough to reflect the increase of the market value. After all, having products that are affordable is important to us! Nothing is changing for our gold fill and sterling silver items. However, things changed on the solid gold (14K) front when…
…We started testing a new jeweler for our heirloom collection. We wanted to work with someone who was going to give us the absolute highest quality craftsmanship, an opportunity to grow our collection to include more diverse, heavy solid gold pieces that were designed to last for a lifetime, AND on par with the quality you’d find in the finest of fine jewelry shops. And guess what? We found him.
Mark Farrell is renowned for his craft, his company is made up of top-tier jewelers, and the pieces we’ve been getting from them are absolutely stunning. Go check them out HERE.
Our signature piece! Offered in solid 14K yellow, white, and rose gold, with a solid gold chain. Option to choose a gold fill chain, for affordability. If you’re looking for a more affordable version, check out our Sterling Silver Honey{comb} Necklace!
Set on an 18 inch chain, with the option to have all hexagon cells filled with milk stones, or just some. Piece is approximately 30mm x 17mm. Please share all design requests in the “requests” box at checkout. Use the number system on the photos on this product page to specify any preferences for certain honeycomb cells. Honeycomb charm can be placed horizontally or vertically on the chain. If placed horizontally, the total length of the necklace is 18 inches.
**IMPORTANT: For the honeycomb necklace specifically: Because the cells are are relatively thin, sometimes (although rarely) the milk stones can appear blueish, grayish, or translucent. We recommend adding white pigment to this piece if you want to avoid that.
Optional customization to add birthstone beads to your necklace HERE. Note: The cells in this necklace are too small to include a lock of hair.

It has always been very important to us that we set ourselves apart as a keepsake jewelry business by providing unique and beautiful pieces that are hand-crafted by real people in the USA, whose families depends on their artistry. I’m proud to say that we’ve been able to do that since the beginning. But over time, as we learn and as we grow, we’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to work with more and more of the finest metal craftsmen (and women!) out there. This year alone, we hired two new incredible metalsmiths who craft a lot of your silver and gold fill jewelry, and now we’re working with the cream of the crop for our fine jewelry collection as well.
We could very easily hop on a jewelry warehouse site in China and buy a billion crappy rings that look a lot like ours (on the surface). Instead, we employ two rockstar metalsmiths and work with an incredible jeweler to cast every unique single piece, custom ordered for every single unique customer.
In addition to getting a superior hand crafted product, you’re not supporting a massive warehouse overseas. You’re supporting our employees—women and their families in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Your order supports our entire team of eight women, our 16 kids, our 6,204,099 pets (only a slight exaggeration), and now the awesome team at BCC. Your order supports small businesses and the economy in the USA! And as always, a percentage of every single order goes directly to our Grieving Mother’s Program, which regularly donates jewelry to mothers who are grieving their babies.
Our fan-favorite—the classic oval ring.
This 9x11mm oval has a unique custom hexagon pattern on the back! Available in sterling silver, solid 14K white, 14K yellow, and 14K rose gold.
Simple, classic, yet remarkable! Pairs perfectly with the Heirloom Oval Necklace.
You'll be prompted to choose all design options at checkout.
{{Note: If you’re looking for a more affordable oval ring, we have one on our site available in sterling silver and yellow/rose gold fill HERE}}

Therefore, beginning in 2025, we’ll be adjusting our 14K jewelry prices to better reflect the gold and metal market as well as the superior quality that we’re so thrilled to be offering for our fine jewelry items. We’re completing testing our new jeweler now, so any heirloom pieces or 14K jewelry ordered through the end of 2024 will be made by our new caster, at our current prices. You lucky ducks. Beginning in 2025, our prices for all 14K pieces will increase.
We offer Afterpay at checkout to split your total into four monthly payments. Keep an eye on our collection in 2025—we’re planning to add heirloom pieces and other jewelry in all price ranges. Click HERE to get on our email list so you won’t miss a thing.
Without you, your support, your orders, your reviews, your engagement on social media, and your word-of-mouth recommendations to family and friends, we truly wouldn’t be where we are today. We’re proud of what we’ve built, and we will continue to give you the very best jewelry, experience, and customer service that we possibly can.
xo,
Maria and Meghan (and the entire milk + honey team!)
