The Steady Heart — Nurse’s Stethoscope Necklace
On the hardest twelve-hour shift, when the monitors are chiming and the hallway never slows down, she is the calm voice and steady hands that every patient and family remembers for the rest of their lives. Nursing isn’t just what she does for a living—it is who she is at her core.
Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and personalized in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Steady Heart curves a classic stethoscope into an open heart silhouette cut from sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Whether she just passed her nursing boards, finished a grueling clinical rotation, or has cared for patients for twenty years, it arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple gift card ready to honor her.
