Motherhood is a unique, often hard-to-explain experience. It's fairly common to see people hold onto the nuanced memories of motherhood through tattoos or monogrammed jewelry, but the latest trend highlights a specific aspect of the journey that can, depending on your personal experience with it, be something you want to truly remember forever.

If you're someone who is breastfeeding or has breastfed their baby, then you know the ups and downs that come along with it. For that reason, people are capturing that memory by purchasing breast milk rings, which are exactly what they sound like — rings containing your actual breast milk in solid form.

Often mistaken for opal jewelry, these keepsakes are a dainty way to preserve the memory forever. Here are a number of styles you can order.
