The mother-of-three is using breast milk to make jewelry, with sales expected to be $1.9 million in 2023.
The idea of making jewelry out of breast milk sounds strange, but a woman from London, England has made it a reality.
Ms. Safiyya Riyadh.
Safiyya Riyadh, 37, a mother of three, and husband Adam Riyadh, 41, run a facility that preserves special occasion flowers and turns them into sentimental accessories that can last forever.
The couple from Bexley, London, England happened to read an article about using breast milk as jewelry during social distancing because of the epidemic. The couple then decided to incorporate this idea into their work. Safiyya Riyadh facility started making more jewelry using breast milk.
Safiyya Riyadh's business has exploded in popularity, growing by 480% since the couple started using breast milk as an ingredient in their jewelry. Currently, they are estimated to reach $1.9 million in revenue by 2023.
Safiyya Riyadh shares that she is working with mothers and helps preserve breast milk by converting it into jewelry so that anyone can keep "memorial of the breastfeeding journey".
Jewelry includes necklaces, earrings and rings.
Customers need to provide at least 30 ml of breast milk to turn into jewels that create jewelry including necklaces, earrings and rings.
Safiyya Riyadh did a lot of research to find a formula to preserve breast milk. It ensures that the milk retains its original color. She also found a technical process that dehydrates the liquid and then combines it with a high-quality resin that doesn't yellow so the jewelry stays clear for a long time.
Her clients are usually mothers who have difficulty breastfeeding, parents who want to mark the end of breastfeeding, and those who have unfortunately lost their baby.
Safiyya shared: "Personally, I am also a mother, but I cannot breastfeed for a long time. Society puts a lot of pressure on women, they have to do many things and even give birth to children. When I first learned that breast milk could be preserved, I wished I could keep some breast milk when I gave birth to my last child to make wonderful memories of the times. Strength will be the emotional connection between mothers and babies, keeping memories of that precious time."
