The Story Behind This Piece
In Plain English: The 'Gigi' 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.

Fun, stylish, and completely devoted to spoiling her grandbabies rotten, a Gigi brings energy and laughter to every birthday party, soccer sideline, and Sunday family dinner.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The ‘Gigi’ Pendant shapes her favorite title in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) script—nearly twice as thick as flimsy chain-store nameplates—tumbled for 8 hours until every curve is buttery-smooth. Arrives on a custom-engraved solid 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.
