What to Expect When Ordering an Embryo or IVF Keepsake
Share
For many families, an embryo represents something profound hope, love, and a journey that words alone can't capture. Whether your IVF path led to a baby in your arms, is still ongoing, or took a different direction, an embryo keepsake is a way to honour that experience in something tangible and lasting.
If you've been curious about how it all works, this guide walks you through exactly what to expect when you order an embryo keepsake from Today Tomorrow & Always.
What is an embryo keepsake?
An embryo keepsake is a piece of jewellery or memorial art that incorporates material from your embryo, typically from a thawed, non-viable embryo that will not be used in future transfers. The inclusion is preserved and set within resin, which is then crafted into a pendant, ring, bead, or other keepsake piece.
It's a deeply personal choice, and one that many families find brings enormous comfort and closure.
What inclusions do you send?
You'll send a small sample of your embryo material, typically provided by your IVF clinic in a sealed vial. Every clinic has slightly different procedures for releasing embryo material, so we recommend contacting your clinic first to understand their process and any paperwork required.
Once you have your inclusion ready, you'll send it to our studio in NSW using a tracked, insured postal service. We provide full instructions with every order.
How is the keepsake made?
Your inclusion is received at our studio and handled with the utmost care and privacy. It is preserved and set within a high-quality resin, which is then shaped, polished, and incorporated into your chosen piece. Every keepsake is handcrafted individually, no two are ever the same.
How long does it take?
Our standard production timeline is 4–6 weeks from the date we receive your inclusion. During peak periods (typically around Mother's Day and Christmas), this may extend to 8–10 weeks. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
Is my inclusion safe?
Absolutely. Your inclusion is handled by our team only, in our private NSW studio. We take privacy and the significance of what you've entrusted to us extremely seriously. Your inclusion is never shared, combined with another client's material, or handled by third parties.
What keepsake styles are available?
We offer a range of styles to suit different preferences. From delicate pendants and charm beads to rings and framed pieces. You can browse our full embryo keepsake collection to find the style that feels right for you. If you're unsure, we're always happy to help you choose.
What if I have questions before I order?
We understand this is not a small decision. If you have questions about the process, your inclusion, or what's right for your situation, please reach out before you order. We're here to help, not to rush you.
