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.

The Story Behind This Piece

Imagine her face when she unties the ribbon on our linen gift box, reads her custom maple wood card, and realizes for the very first time that a brand-new baby is on the way in 2026—and she is officially becoming a Grandma.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The ‘Grandma Est. 2026’ Pendant etches that milestone announcement at 0.4 mm depth into a sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) heirloom signet bar. It is the pregnancy reveal keepsake she will put on through happy tears and wear all the way to the hospital delivery room.
