Breast milk hues and variations

More Shades Than You’d Ever Expect

Some milk samples are almost pure white. Others resemble creamy coffee.
Some are translucent, while others are thick, golden, or velvety.

Its color shifts with breastfeeding phases, diet, time of day, overall health, and even how much time has passed since the last feed.

At Galacta, we treat every milk sample as what it truly is: a unique and irreplaceable material.
Once it arrives, it’s carefully labeled, sealed in a sterile vial, and stored in our archive for at least two years — in case the jewelry ever needs to be remade.

The photos show exactly that: diversity.
Every mother has her story. Every milk sample has its shade.

The preservation process makes those differences even more visible: in the vials, the color and texture vary wildly.
But during jewelry making, the milk naturally returns to the soft, pale white it had when freshly expressed.

No matter how it looks in the vial, the final keepsake stone will always be white.
