Meet the Maker

Hey, I’m Ashley, the founder & crafter at The Spilt Milk Co, where I handcraft keepsakes that hold memories of love, loss, and everything in between.

From my studio in Papamoa, New Zealand, I create DNA keepsake jewellery that captures life’s most precious moments.

Whether it’s a piece of breastmilk jewellery to honour your feeding journey, a cremation ash keepsake to remember a loved one, or a special charm filled with pet fur or a lock of hair. These aren’t just pieces of jewellery, they’re tangible connections to the people and moments that tell our story.

I founded The Spilt Milk Co. in 2018, creating keepsakes during nap times while raising my 3 babies. And now, six years later, I’ve had the honour of crafting thousands of pieces for families across Australia and New Zealand.

Every precious piece created tells a story of love, loss, resilience, and celebration, and I am always so honoured to help tell your story & be a little part of your journey to create a meaningful treasure that you can hold close, always.

When I’m not in the studio, you’ll find me at the beach with my partner and our three girls, soaking up the beauty of this place we call home.

Thank you for trusting me with your memories & most precious elements, it’s an honour to become part of your story. ✨
