Is Galacta Jewelry Water-Resistant?

(Here’s what we tested — and what it means for you)

One of the most common questions I get — and rightly so.

Galacta jewelry holds something irreplaceable: a drop of your milk, a lock of hair, maybe a cord stump…
And when something that personal is made into jewelry, you want to know: is it safe? Durable? Can it survive daily life? Water?

So I didn’t guess. I tested it.

What did we test?

In March 2025, I placed a Galacta pendant in a bowl of water.
Not for an hour. Not for a day.

Since March 10th, it’s been fully submerged — and it’s still there. The test is ongoing.

And the results?
✔ Color — unchanged
✔ Texture — firm and stable
✔ No cracks, no separation, no cloudiness

But that's not all.

I also wear my own Galacta jewelry — every day for years.
I shower, wash my hands, live with it.

And I regularly hear from my clients:
???? “It still looks perfect!”
???? “I forgot to take it off and nothing happened!”

Can I wear it in water?

Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: yes — but with care.

Water itself isn’t the enemy.
However, chlorine (in pools) and salt (in seawater) can affect silver over time. Also, beware of the harsh chemicals in house-cleaning detergents.

So:
✔ Washing hands? Yes.
✔ Showering? Yes.
✔ Sleeping with it? Sure.
✖ Pool or sea? Better not.

Treat it like what it is — a memory worth protecting.

What makes it so durable?

Galacta jewelry is made using premium UV-stable resin, specially formulated to preserve inclusions like breastmilk or hair.

They’re:
– Moisture-resistant
– UV-resistant (no yellowing)
– Heat- and cold-tolerant
– Strong, but lightweight

Not glass. Not fragile. Not temporary.

Why did I test this at all?

Because trust means everything in this kind of work.
I don’t want you to hope your jewelry will last — I want you to know.

Every material I use is tested. Every technique is intentional.
So that when you wear your Galacta piece, you wear it with confidence.

And here’s something important:
Not all breastmilk jewelry is water-resistant.
In fact — very few are.
Many pieces made by other creators can swell, crack, yellow, or cloud over time, especially when exposed to moisture.

Galacta jewelry is different.
Because I use a unique preservation method, tested over thousands of orders and years of daily wear — including my own.

Treat it like what it is — a memory worth protecting.
But know this: it's built to last.

If you ever have questions, I’m always just a message away.
I'm here for the memories — and for you.

With love,
