Glitters, Shimmers & Opalescent Flakes

Adding glitter, shimmer precious metal leaf or opalescent flakes is a beautiful way to personalise your keepsake and create a truly unique stone.

Whether you prefer a subtle sparkle or a bold pop of colour, these additions can be used to complement your breastmilk, ashes, hair, fur or other inclusions. They can be added sparingly for a delicate effect or incorporated more heavily to create a statement piece.

Opalescent Flakes

Opalescent flakes are one of my most popular additions. These delicate flakes catch the light beautifully, creating flashes of colour and depth throughout your stone.

Depending on the colour chosen, you may notice subtle hints of pink, blue, green, gold or purple as the jewellery moves in different lighting conditions. A wide range of coloured opal flakes are available, allowing you to create a keepsake that feels truly personal.

Many customers choose colours inspired by:

• Birthstones

• Favourite colours

• Rainbow baby journeys

• Sports teams

• Wedding colours

• Children's favourite colours

Shimmers

Shimmers can be added to your breastmilk stone create a softer, more subtle sparkle than glitter.

Popular choices include:

• White Shimmer

• Pearl Shimmer

• Gold Shimmer

• White Dye

These finishes enhance the natural beauty of your breastmilk stone whilst maintaining an elegant and timeless appearance.

Precious Metal Leaf

For an elegant and natural looking extra, precious metal leaf can be added to your keepsake stone. The delicate flakes catch the light beautifully and create subtle depth within the stone without overpowering your inclusions.

Due to the nature of opal flakes, glitters and handmade keepsake jewellery, no two stones will ever be identical. Colours, flashes and patterns may vary slightly from the examples shown.

This natural variation is part of what makes every keepsake completely unique to your story.
