The Sweet Nectar — Hummingbird Flight Necklace
You hear the soft hum of wings before you see her—hovering in the morning sunlight by the porch feeder, fearless and bright as an emerald jewel, then gone in a heartbeat. For many families, a hummingbird visiting the garden is a joyful sign that someone deeply loved is checking in to say hello; for others, she is a symbol of savoring the sweetness of right now.
Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Sweet Nectar captures a hummingbird suspended mid-flight in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze with 8-hour ceramic-tumbled rounded edges and a wet-glass 14k gold plated shine. It arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.
