The Story Behind This Piece
In Plain English: The Australian Shepherd Pendant ($68) is cut and 14k gold plated at our shop at 2612 Howard Loop, Salado, TX 76571. It’s as thick as a dime so it won’t bend, sealed over a nickel-free palladium barrier so it won’t turn her neck green, and backed by free replacement for life.

An Australian Shepherd doesn’t just walk beside you—she orbits you, herds the kids in the backyard, catches frisbees mid-air, and looks up with bright, watchful eyes waiting for the next adventure.

Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Australian Shepherd Pendant captures that agile Aussie silhouette and fluffy ruff in solid 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze with 0.4 mm gold-on-gold coat etching. Arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.

Ships in 5 business days on a custom-engraved 3.0" × 3.0" blonde maple card with Free Lifetime Replacement (concierge@vellamereandco.com).

Thick as a dime — cut, tumbled smooth, and 14k gold plated in our Salado, Texas shop
MADE IN OUR SALADO, TEXAS SHOP • 2612 HOWARD LOOP

Cut, Tumbled Smooth, and 14k Gold Plated in Texas.

Most personalized jewelry is stamped from paper-thin foil overseas and takes a month to arrive. At our shop at 2612 Howard Loop in Salado, Texas, we cut every piece ourselves from 16-gauge bronze—as thick as a dime—and tumble it for 8 hours so every edge feels smooth against her skin.

We plate a nickel-free palladium barrier so it won't turn her neck green, finish it in heavy 14k gold plating with a clear baked ceramic topcoat for everyday wear, and burn your note into a solid blonde maple card before shipping within 5 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions About 4-Layer Metallurgy, Sizing & Salado Shipping

Direct answers to common questions about our 1.3 mm (16-gauge) 4-layer construction, U.S. Dime scale, and lifetime replacement guarantee.

How does the 4-layer 1.3 mm metallurgy and Porceshield™ ceramic coating work?

Every Vellamere & Co. piece is laser-cut from 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler's bronze and rotary-tumbled for 8 hours until every edge is rounded smooth. We plate it with 0.025 microns of pure hypoallergenic Palladium (0.0% nickel), add 2.5 microns of heavy 14k gold (5 to 10 times thicker than normal plating), and bake on our Porceshield™ ceramic coat for 5 to 10 years of wear.

How big is this piece compared to a 17.9 mm U.S. Dime?

All Vellamere graphical charms are calibrated to 10.0 mm in height at their tallest point, which equals 55.9% of the 17.9 mm diameter of a U.S. Dime. Custom name necklaces feature a 10.0 mm capital letter (55.9% of a Dime) and 7.0 mm lowercase letters (39.1% of a Dime) with zero etching, suspended on an elongated oval cable chain.

How fast do personalized orders ship from Salado, Texas and what is included?

Every $68 necklace is personalized to order at our studio at 2612 Howard Loop, Salado, Texas 76571 and ships within 5 business days with free insured USPS Ground Advantage delivery (or Next Business Day for +$15). Each piece arrives on a 3.0" × 3.0" CO₂ laser-engraved solid blonde maple card inside a 3.5" × 3.5" × 1.0" linen gift box.

What is the return policy, free remake promise, and lifetime replacement guarantee?

Unworn non-personalized pieces qualify for a 30-day full refund with free return shipping. If you make a spelling typo on a custom name necklace or maple card, email concierge@vellamereandco.com within 30 days for one free remake. If the chain ever snaps or the 14k gold finish wears down, send one photo for a free replacement for life.
