The Heart of the Family — Mimi Script Necklace
Of all the titles she has earned in her life, Mimi is the one that makes her whole face light up the second little feet come running through the front door. Her kitchen always has snacks, her arms are always open, and her love is the glue that holds three generations together.
Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Heart of the Family shapes Mimi in flowing, sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) script—nearly twice as thick as delicate chain-store word bars so it never bends when grandbabies tug on her chain. Arrives on a custom-engraved solid blonde maple wood card signed with the grandkids’ names.
