No, since these are individually manufactured products made from materials you sent in, the right of withdrawal does not apply.

I need approx. 20 ml of breast milk for one piece of jewelry. For each additional piece of jewelry I need 5 ml extra breast milk.

The milk does not have to be expressed all at once. You can also pump several times until you have the required amount. You should store the breast milk in the refrigerator in a closed container until shipping.

Since the milk does not have to be suitable for consumption, it does not matter how old the milk is. It should simply not have developed any mold and should have been continuously cooled or frozen by the time it is shipped.

The strength of hardened breast milk can be compared to solid plastic. It is quite scratch-resistant and stable.

Due to the preservation process, breast milk in hardened form cannot decompose further. Nevertheless, breast milk remains a natural product, which in rare cases does turn yellow. This is neither a quality defect nor a manufacturing defect. The clear casting resin can also yellow slightly over the course of several years, as many plastics do. According to the manufacturer, the casting resin I use is very UV resistant.

Breast milk varies greatly. There is white, yellow or even greenish milk. The fat content also plays a role. Therefore, each jewelry is unique in its own way. And may differ slightly from templates. Since I make everything by hand myself, slight deviations can occur here too.

I 100% guarantee that your breast milk will be used to make your jewelry. Having breastfed myself, I understand how emotional and personal this topic is. It is very important to me to create your personal jewelry with your breast milk and to capture this wonderful time with your child. I couldn't reconcile anything else with my conscience.When your milk arrives, I pour it into a container and label it straight away. Hair and umbilical cords are labeled in the same way so that there can be no confusion.

Breast milk must be placed in a well-sealed breast milk bag. Pack the first breast milk bag into a second breast milk bag and close it tightly again. Breast milk bags are available at the drugstore or on Amazon. Please be sure to label the breast milk bags with your name! Then put the bags in a padded envelope and only send them by post Monday to Wednesday so that the envelope doesn't stay at the post office over the weekend. You must thaw frozen breast milk beforehand and only then may it be sent. Shipping is at your risk; if there is damage (leakage), the envelope and its contents will be disposed of.

If possible, a small tuft of hair/fur, approx. 3 to 4 cm would be perfect, but not a must. I will of course send the leftover hair/fur back to you.

Then place the hair in a bubble envelope or envelope, label it and send the stamped envelope to the address given on the invoice.

The best way to dry an entire bridal bouquet is to hang it upside down in a dark, dry room. The darkness keeps the color of the flowers as best as possible. However, this process takes some time. If the bouquet is tied too tightly, mold can form because not enough air gets to individual areas. If this is the case, it is better to take the bouquet apart a bit. If things go a little faster, individual flowers can be dried in a thick book. It is also possible to send the fresh bouquet via express delivery, which will then be dried using a special process. The process ensures a more color-intensive and fresher result.

Please send me 1-2 flowers/blooms from the bridal bouquet for a piece of jewelry. I will of course send the leftover flowers/blooms back to you.

The flowers can be already dried or fresh.

Whole bouquet If you want to send a whole bouquet, it is best to send it in a box stuffed with newspaper. What's important is that the ostrich doesn't have much freedom of movement, but can still "breathe" a bit. can. Please send the package to the address stated on the invoice. Fresh flowers Fresh bouquets or flowers must be sent express. When packing, make sure not to wrap them in foil or plastic, as there is no air in them and they will begin to rot very quickly. It's best to wrap the bouquets or flowers with some newspaper, but not too much so that the air can still circulate around them.

Each souvenir jewel is manufactured using a complex process and requires a lot of time to dry in order to be really durable and scratch-resistant. After drying, each piece of jewelry is sanded and polished. A UV seal is then applied over it, which takes some time to dry. Since this is a very time-consuming process, delivery times are up to 12 weeks. Depending on which piece of jewelry is to be processed and which piece of jewelry is chosen, the delivery time is longer or shorter. For more detailed information about the delivery time of your souvenir jewel, please send me an email to info@erinnerungsjuwel.at.
