💇 Hair

We require approximately 30 strands of hair per item of jewellery, ideally at least 3cm long.

How to package it:

• Place the hair into a small, named snap-lock bag.

• If possible, gently tape the ends of the strands together to keep them neat and together.

Please note:

Hair naturally varies in colour, texture and thickness. Your chosen resin colour can affect how visible the hair is in your finished piece.

Lighter colours can make hair more difficult to see. Please keep in mind that hair can appear similar to how it looks when wet once it is incorporated into resin.

We will always do our best to accommodate your chosen colour and achieve your desired look, however we cannot guarantee 100% visibility of hair.

🍼 Breastmilk + Formula

We require approximately 10ml of breastmilk per item of jewellery.

Your breastmilk can be fresh or frozen, and it does not matter how old it is.

How to package it:

• Place the required amount into a named breastmilk storage bag. Please do not use regular plastic bags as they may leak.

• Double-bag your breastmilk for additional protection during transit.

• As the breastmilk is being used as a keepsake and is no longer for consumption, it is okay for it to be sent at room temperature.

🍼 Formula

We require approximately 1 teaspoon of formula powder per item of jewellery.

How to package it:

• Place the required amount into a small, named snap-lock bag.

• Double-bag the inclusion for extra protection during transit.

👶 Umbilical Cord

For a standard umbilical cord keepsake, we require a dried umbilical cord stump from your baby's belly button.

Your cord can still be attached to the original cord clip or muka pito tie — these will be returned to you.

If your cord is not dried:

If you have a fresh or frozen cord, we can dehydrate it for you for an additional $50 processing fee.

For a standard keepsake, we require approximately 5cm of the undried cord.

Please place it into a named, leak-proof container or small snap-lock bag and double-bag it for transit.

We recommend using an overnight courier for fresh or frozen inclusions.

How to package it:

If you are ordering a keepsake made from the cord itself, please send the whole fresh or frozen cord, cut away from the placenta.

Place it into a named, double-bagged snap-lock bag or small leak-proof container.

We recommend using an overnight courier.

🌿 Placenta

If you already have placenta powder:

We require approximately 2 placenta capsules per item of jewellery.

Place the capsules into a named plastic bag or small container.

If you have frozen placenta:

We can process a small portion of your placenta into powder for you for an additional $50 processing fee.

Please send approximately a matchbox-sized piece or smaller.

Place the placenta into a small, named snap-lock bag or leak-proof container and double-bag it to prevent leakage.

We recommend using an overnight courier for fresh or frozen placenta.

Please do not send whole or large pieces of placenta.

🐾 Pet Fur

We require approximately 1 teaspoon-sized portion of fur per item of jewellery.

How to package it:

Place the fur into a small, named snap-lock bag.

Please note:

Pet fur naturally varies in colour, texture and thickness. Your chosen resin colour can affect how visible the fur is in your finished piece.

Lighter colours can make fur more difficult to see. Please keep in mind that fur can appear similar to how it looks when wet once incorporated into resin.

We will always do our best to accommodate your chosen colour, however we cannot guarantee 100% visibility of pet fur.

🕊️ Cremation Ashes

We recommend sending approximately 1 teaspoon of ashes.

This amount is ample for approximately 1–8 keepsakes, depending on the type and size of the pieces being made.

If you have less than this, don't worry — we can work with as much or as little as you have.

Any unused ashes will be carefully returned to you with your completed keepsake.

How to package them:

Place the ashes into a named snap-lock bag or small container and double-bag them for extra protection.

🤍 Early Pregnancy Loss

We require the fetal tissue to be sent to us in a small, named snap-lock bag or leak-proof container, which should then be double-bagged to prevent leakage.

To use the tissue in a keepsake, it needs to be carefully dehydrated and processed into a powder.

We waive our usual $50 processing fee for early pregnancy loss keepsakes.

Important:

If your tissue has been sent away for testing, it may have been preserved in formalin.

Unfortunately, we cannot process tissue that has been preserved in formalin as it is hazardous for us to work with.

There may be other options available, so please contact us before sending your tissue if you believe it may have been preserved in formalin.

🧬 Embryo Straws

We are very honoured to offer this special service for IVF families.

We work with a local funeral home to arrange for your embryo straw to be cremated. The resulting cremation ash can then be incorporated into a special keepsake.

Because every IVF journey and clinic process can be different, there can be several variables involved in obtaining and sending your embryo straws.

If you already have your embryo straws:

If your embryo straws have already been returned to you, you can send them to us as they are.

Please package them securely and clearly label them with your name.

If your embryo straws are still with your clinic:

You will first need to contact your fertility clinic and arrange for your embryo straws to be returned to you.

Some clinics may be able to send them directly to us, however you may need to provide the clinic with permission or authorisation for them to release and send them to us.

Some clinics may also have a stand-down period of approximately one month from the time you contact them before the straws can be released.

As these requirements can vary between clinics, we recommend contacting your clinic as early as possible if you are considering an embryo straw keepsake.

If you're unsure about any part of the process, please get in touch with us and we'll help guide you through the next steps.

🌸 Dried Flowers & Botanicals

We can work with as much or as little as you are comfortable sending.

Your flowers or botanicals need to be completely dried before we can use them.

If your flowers are not dried, we can dry them for you. Please note that:

• The colour may change during the drying process.

• Additional processing time may be required.

• Your finished flower may look different once dried.

How to package them:

Place your dried flowers or botanicals into a named snap-lock bag or small container.

🏖️ Sand, Soil & Shells

We require approximately 1 teaspoon per item of jewellery.

This can include sand, soil or small shells.

How to package them:

Place the inclusion into a named small snap-lock bag or container and double-bag it for extra protection.

🦷 Baby's First Tooth

Please ensure the tooth is clean and dry before sending.

How to package it:
