A group of French artists, commissioned for an exhibit to examine the early relationship between mother and infant, have designed a line of jewelry made out of … breast milk.
The jewelry is made by boiling human milk mixed with vinegar.
The process causes the casein protein in the milk to harden into plastic, which then can be molded and painted.
The “milk pearl” necklaces, bracelets and other objects created by the design collective Duende will go on display later this year in Paris.
Other objects in the exhibit include dishes and containers for storing and burying human placentas.
The collective say it envisions the day when all mothers will be able to send a bottle of their milk to a laboratory to obtain a permanent memento of their pregnancy.
