Customers said they never received their products.

A Rhode Island judge has ordered the owner of MommyMilk Creations, a company that offered jewelry made from breast milk, to return customers’ money — and their milk.

The state attorney general’s office had asked for the order, and a Superior Court judge granted it, WPRI-TV reports.

Some women claimed they sent breast milk to the company but never received their keepsake jewelry. The judge’s order involves 114 customers, and MommyMilk Creations owner Allicia Mogavero will have to return $15,000 in all, according to WPRI.

The news station reports that an attorney for Mogavero did not immediately respond to a request for comment last week.

The earliest complaints date to 2014. Some women told WPRI they recently received white beads in the mail, when in fact they had ordered other products.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
