RIGBY – Providing a keepsake to remember the special bond that’s created between a mom and her baby during the first few months of life is the idea behind a business owned by two local women.
Sharlee Hill, 33, of Lyman (near Rexburg) and Sam Feltman, 31, of Rigby are the owners of Sister’s Keepsakes, an online brand that makes jewelry out of breast milk.
“We take breast milk and preserve it into a powder. We then put it in a resin and set it in a stone for jewelry,” Hill tells EastIdahoNews.com.
The type of jewelry offered includes rings, necklaces or earrings. Hill and Feltman make it from breast milk that a customers sends them and the customer picks up the jewelry in person. Unlike other companies offering similar products, Feltman says their products are made to get wet or be worn almost anywhere.
“We put a top coat on them … because we want them to last,” she says. “That’s definitely something that makes us unique.”
The duo also makes decorative items out of animal or human hair. Jewelry can also be made to store someone’s ashes.
Hill says breast milk rings are the business’s most popular product.
