Heirloom Cross Necklace

• cross size

• Pendant available in sterling silver, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, or 14K white gold

• Chain available in sterling silver, yellow gold fill, rose gold fill, 14K yellow gold, 14K rose gold, or 14K white gold

• Choose between 16 inch or 18 inch chain. Model is wearing a 16 inch chain, but please measure for yourself. It may fit differently on you!

• All design requests can be entered in the form at checkout. If you’d like to send us a photo or sketch of your design idea(s), please reply to your order confirmation email with those images and we will attach them to your order.

• We highly recommend adding white pigment to your breastmilk for this piece. The inside walls of the bezel reflect into the stone and it appears very dark without the addition of white pigment.

• This necklace can be designed with any combination of inclusions: breastmilk, formula, lock of hair, dried flowers, umbilical cord, placenta, pregnancy cap, sand, soil, and more. Please note that the channel in the cross is very small—intricate designs likely won’t work.

Because your story deserves more than something mass produced: At Milk + Honey, every keepsake is handcrafted by a small team of women and moms creating meaningful jewelry for women and moms just like you. We know how much trust it takes to send your precious inclusions through the mail—and we honor that trust every single day.

For over 8 years, we’ve been carefully perfecting our preservation methods, craftsmanship, and customer experience. More than 20,000 keepsakes have passed through our hands so far, with every batch of milk preserved individually, one at a time.

No rushing. No assembly lines. No warehouse jewelry.

Just beautifully crafted heirlooms made with intention.

Thoughtfully crafted in the USA: We proudly create everything in the USA using high-quality precious metals and materials sourced to last for generations. Our heirloom collection is handcrafted alongside a USA-based small business, and each piece is custom made just for you by skilled artisans and metalsmiths.

Because meaningful jewelry should feel meaningful.

Your inclusions: From breastmilk to flowers to cremation ashes, every inclusion is handled with love, dignity, and meticulous attention to detail. We’ve built foolproof systems to carefully label, track, and protect every keepsake throughout the entire process—so you can feel confident your story is safe with us.

You’re never “just another order” here.

A small business with a big heart: Milk + Honey is powered by a team of 8 women whose families are directly supported by this work. Your order helps put food on our tables, sends kids to soccer practice and dance lessons, and allows us to continue creating keepsakes.

A portion of every order supports our Grieving Mother’s Program, which donates memorial jewelry to mothers who have experienced pregnancy or child loss. Supporting women through every chapter of motherhood—including the hardest ones—is deeply woven into the heart of what we do.

And honestly? We think that’s pretty special.

With 750+ five-star reviews (scroll down to read!), 500+ five-star Google reviews, and thousands of meaningful pieces created, we’re incredibly honored to do what we do.

Most importantly, we believe customer care matters just as much as craftsmanship. We want you to feel heard, cared for, and genuinely excited every step of the way.

Please treat your necklace like the precious keepsake that it is!

• Remove before bathing, swimming, applying lotions, sunbathing, working out, etc. Essentially, limit exposure to water, heat, chemicals, and sun.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Be gentle around the “milk stone”; it's delicate.

Please read through our Frequently Asked Questions and Terms and Conditions before ordering.

You’ll receive an order confirmation email after placing your order, which will include all shipping instructions for sending your keepsakes to us. You can also see them here.
