Could you ever imagine keeping something as special as an umbilical cord with you for the rest of your life? It is now possible. A newborn’s umbilical stump the crucial life-giving source connecting a mother and baby during pregnancy is the most special thing. Preethy Vijay from Chennai has made it possible by converting breastmilk and umbilical cord into cute jewellery and keepsakes.
Preethy, mother of a six-year-old, stumbled upon this creative idea while she was chatting about breastmilk on the social media portal Facebook. Even though her art is unusual and special, Preethy receives up to 12 orders a week to make pendants, earrings and rings. Depending on the design and metal (artificial or sterling) Preethy’s products range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000. She has expanded and now also makes customized things using baby hair or teeth.
