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

Before the emails, before the school drop-off line, and before anyone asks her what is for dinner, there is that sacred first sip of a hot morning latte with a foam heart poured right on top.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The Latte Art Heart Pendant shapes a cozy cafe cup and saucer with 0.4 mm rosetta heart etching in solid 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Mounted on a custom-engraved solid blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified Food, Drink & Kitchen Gift

“The Latte Art Heart Pendant has real 1.3 mm weight—not thin foil.”

Ordered The Latte Art Heart Pendant from the Food, Drink & Kitchen collection with a custom note on the 3.0" blonde maple card. The 10.0 mm Dime-scale proportion of The Latte Art Heart Pendant sits right at the collarbone with smooth 8-hour ceramic-tumbled edges.

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