Cardi B Turns Newborn’s Umbilical Cord Into Gold Heart Pendant

A graphic Instagram walkthrough by Mommy Made Encapsulation highlighted a keepsake the company sells as a $50 add-on to a $500 placenta service, with outlets citing differing totals.

Overview

  • Juliane Marie Corona of Mommy Made Encapsulation posted video on November 20 showing the cord shaped around a heart wire, dehydrated, and coated in gold chrome.
  • Coverage notes inconsistent pricing: the company lists the cord keepsake as a $50 add-on (placenta encapsulation $500, placenta print $65), while some reports put the total near $615 to about $1,000.
  • Social media responses to the graphic footage ranged widely, with some praising the sentimental memento and others expressing discomfort.
  • Mommy Made says it has processed more than 40,000 placentas and has serviced celebrity clients including Megan Fox and Vanessa Hudgens; the brand previously worked with Cardi.
  • Cardi B delivered a baby boy on November 4, her fourth child and first with New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and she also received placenta capsules and a print.
