The Mamaw Pendant — 14k Gold 16-Gauge
The best gifts don’t just say “I bought you jewelry”—they say “I know the exact thing that lights you up.” For the woman whose heart belongs to the mamaw pendant 14k gold 16-gauge, this piece feels like it was drawn specifically for her life.
Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut to order in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Mamaw Pendant is crafted from sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze, tumbled for 8 hours in ceramic media so every edge is buttery-smooth, and finished to look like it was dipped in wet glass. It arrives on a custom-engraved solid blonde maple wood keepsake card inside a linen gift box.
