The Kitchen Queen — Pickleball Paddle Necklace
It always starts with “just one Saturday morning game” and turns into a court bag permanently parked by the front door, a group text that starts buzzing at 6:30 AM, and a fierce command of the seven-foot kitchen line. For her, pickleball is exercise, competition, and her favorite social hour rolled into one.
Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The Kitchen Queen shapes a classic pickleball paddle with a 0.4 mm gold-on-gold laser-etched paddle face and diagonal grip wrap in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Arrives on a custom-engraved solid blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.
