The Story Behind This Piece

When the lake is as smooth as glass at 6:00 AM and a trophy largemouth explodes through the surface on the very first cast, nothing else in the world comes close. She would rather be on the boat at sunrise with a rod in her hand than anywhere else on earth.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, First Light captures a largemouth bass mid-leap with 0.4 mm gold-on-gold laser-etched dorsal fins and gill plates in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. It arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.

Reviews for First Light

New Salado Release • Free Lifetime Replacement
★★★★★ ✓ Verified Outdoors, Hunting & Fishing Gift

“First Light has real 1.3 mm weight—not thin foil.”

Ordered First Light from the Outdoors, Hunting & Fishing collection with a custom note on the 3.0" blonde maple card. The 10.0 mm Dime-scale proportion of First Light sits right at the collarbone with smooth 8-hour ceramic-tumbled edges.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified First Light Set

“The engraved maple card with First Light made her cry.”

Upgraded First Light to the necklace + matching First Light bracelet set (+$30). Shipped from Salado in 4 days and the 2.5 micron 14k gold over Palladium on First Light is completely gentle on sensitive skin.
