A little piece of home.
There's something about a nest that feels instinctively familiar.
A place to grow.
A place to be held.
A place to belong.
The Nest Earrings capture a little bit of that feeling in something you can carry with you—long after the days of rocking, feeding, and holding your little one have changed.
A tiny keepsake of the place where it all began.
Why our customers love them
The Nest Earrings don't scream “breastmilk jewelry.” They're simply beautiful earrings—with a deeply personal story tucked inside.
We transform your breastmilk into a keepsake pearl by hand, preserving a little piece of this chapter in a form you can wear.
The sculptural gold setting gives these earrings just enough detail to feel special while keeping the overall look clean and effortless.
14K Fine jewelry, but delicate enough for everyday wear
Every pair is handcrafted to order by our team of women and moms in Maryland, USA!

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.
