Every dedicated sourdough baker has two relationships in her kitchen: the loaves she shares with everyone she loves, and the bubbly glass jar of levain sitting on her counter that demands to be fed on schedule. When you are shopping for a baker who already owns a Dutch oven, Danish dough whisk, and lame, another kitchen gadget gets lost in a drawer—while a piece of jewelry that nods to her starter becomes her daily signature.
1. The Sourdough Starter Jar ('FEED ME') Necklace ($68)
At our workshop at 2612 Howard Loop in Salado, Texas, we designed the Sourdough Starter Jar Necklace ($68) specifically for fermentation obsessives. Cut from solid 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler's bronze and plated in 2.5 microns of genuine 14k yellow gold over a 0.025-micron hypoallergenic Palladium barrier, the 10.0 mm jar silhouette features a precision 0.4 mm laser-etched "FEED ME" label across the belly of the jar.
2. The Artisan Sourdough Loaf (Scored Boule) Necklace ($68)
If her pride and joy is a blistered crust and a dramatic oven-spring ear, pair or alternate with the Artisan Sourdough Loaf Necklace ($68). Both pieces belong to our Food, Drink & Kitchen Collection and ship inside a linen gift box on a custom CO₂ laser-engraved 3.0" × 3.0" solid blonde maple card.
