Milk can be turned into plastic by solidifying the casein it contains. French design team 'Duende' used this technique to turn human breast milk into a jewel, and then use that to make a necklace.
Duende's 'Perle de lait' range of jewellery imagines a new set of personalized post-natal objects. The breast-feeding mother sends a feeding bottle full of her milk to a laboratory where it is transformed into a gem-like substance that can be mounted on a neck-piece or any other form of jewellery.
