The Story Behind This Piece
In Plain English: The Mama Bear & Cubs 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.

Fierce when protecting her family and gentle when tucking them in at night, a mama bear leads her cubs through the world with steady courage and unconditional love.

Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Mama Bear & Cubs Pendant shapes a walking mother bear followed closely by her two little cubs in solid 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Engrave her children’s names on the blonde maple wood card for a keepsake she will treasure forever.

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.

If the chain ever snaps or the 14k gold finish wears down, send one photo for a free replacement for life.
