Embryo Keepsakes

A Beautiful Way to Honour Your Fertility Journey with Keepsake Jewellery

If you’ve completed your family and are left wondering what to do with your remaining embryos, you’re not alone. It’s a super personal decision, and whatever you choose, it should bring you peace and feel right for you.

For many families, continuing to store embryos isn’t the best option, but the idea of embryo donation or embryo disposal doesn't feel right either. That's where keepsake jewellery comes in. A meaningful way to celebrate your journey while creating something completely unique and special to treasure. 

What is Embryo Keepsake Jewellery?

Embryo keepsake jewellery is a unique and meaningful way to honour your fertility journey & the path that brought your family together. Whether or not an embryo became part of your little one’s story, it still represents hope, love, and possibility. Transforming it into a custom jewellery piece allows you to carry that story with you always.

How Does the Process Work?

Turning your embryo into a piece of jewellery is a delicate and respectful process. We carefully preserve your embryo within a beautifully crafted custom jewellery piece, ensuring that it remains a cherished symbol of your journey. Many families find comfort in having a tangible reminder of their experience rather than choosing indefinite storage or difficult alternatives.

Important Considerations

Please note that we are unable to accept embryos that have been preserved in formaldehyde or have undergone chemical testing. If your embryo is stored in a straw, it can be cremated- please check with your local funeral home for further information. If your embryo has been returned to you in a vial with clear liquid, we are able to preserve and dehydrate the contents in our studio for crafting.

If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us at any time and we can guide you through these processes.

After preserving your embryo, because of its microscopic nature, they will be unable to be seen in your keepsake. Because of this, we will issue an authenticity certificate so you can be sure there is no chance of cross contamination & the inclusions in your keepsake are 100% your own.

We suggest choosing colours & flecks that you love, to represent this journey as it encompasses those precious embabies inside.
