Social media users have branded a ring made from a mother’s breast milk and human hair as ‘revolting’ and ‘creepy.’
Jamie Harrison, from New Zealand, was intrigued by the idea of a ‘breast milk ring’ but was left horrified when she found one online – which came complete with strands from the baby’s first hair cut.
Taking to Facebook group That’s it, i’m ring shaming! she penned: ‘Had to Google what a breast milk ring was… and the fact that some people actually think that’s a good idea blows my mind. And this thing is just horrible!’
And after sharing a picture of the item in question, it wasn’t long before social media users took to the comments section.
‘Looks like someone cream pied a Venus fly trap,’ wrote one, while a second penned: ‘I HATE THIS!!! Everything about it is revolting.’

Social media users were quick to take to the comments section, with one joking: ‘When witchcraft becomes trendy’
A third added: ‘I feel like breast milk jewelry should be one of those keepsake-only items that you never actually wear.’
The post has since been inundated with comments – with many branding the ring ‘creepy.’
‘This is gross and you can’t change my mind. Wear one if you want but it’s very “look at me I’m a MOMMY!” In a not cute way but y’all have the right to be tacky,’ while a second wrote: ‘Ew this one has hair in it. Gross.’
Another penned: ‘I breastfed for almost a year and it’s a huge HELLLLL NOOOOOO from me,’ while a further agreed: ‘This ring is gross and has creepy Victorian era vibes.’
Another compared the unique item to looking like ‘someone cream pied a Venus fly trap’ (pictured)
However, while the majority were in agreement about the unnecessary hair feature, others were all for the breast milk jewelry.
‘I don’t see anything weird/wrong with breast milk jewelry but I definitely hate the hair… like a hair ring or a breast milk ring pick ONE,’ wrote one, while a second commented: ‘I love this except for the hair in it that made my blood boil.’
Another added: ‘I like how the milk looks as a stone, the hair creeps me out a bit.’
However, there were a select few who defended the sentimental value of the ring.
‘Lol I should add the hair is a little questionable,’ wrote one. ‘But you can’t shame a ring with this much importance to someone.’
‘It’s almost like shaming a heirloom from a grandparent or great. You just don’t do it because you can’t ruin the sentimental value.’
However, a few defended the ‘sentimental’ value of the ring – while also admitting the hair ‘is a little questionable’
