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

A quilt is never just fabric and thread. It is hundreds of quiet hours at the cutting table, generations of family stories stitched into every seam, and a warm hug wrapped around the people she loves long after the sewing machine is packed away.

Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut in our Salado, Texas workshop, Stitched With Love honors her patience and artistry with a geometric Ohio Star quilt block etched at 0.4 mm into sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. It arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified Hobbies & Crafts Gift

“Stitched With Love has real 1.3 mm weight—not thin foil.”
