The Story Behind This Piece

In Plain English: Small Arms, Big Energy ($68) is cut and 14k gold plated at our shop at 2612 Howard Loop, Salado, TX 76571. It’s as thick as a dime so it won’t bend, sealed over a nickel-free palladium barrier so it won’t turn her neck green, and backed by free replacement for life.

Whether she is a science teacher, a museum regular, a boy mom who can pronounce twenty prehistoric species before breakfast, or a woman who tackles Monday mornings with unstoppable T-Rex energy, she refuses to wear boring jewelry.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and precision-cut in our Salado, Texas studio, Small Arms, Big Energy shapes a fierce, playful Tyrannosaurus Rex silhouette in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze with 8-hour ceramic-tumbled smooth edges. Arrives on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.

Thick as a dime — cut, tumbled smooth, and 14k gold plated in our Salado, Texas shop

MADE IN OUR SALADO, TEXAS SHOP • 2612 HOWARD LOOP

Cut, Tumbled Smooth, and 14k Gold Plated in Texas.

Most personalized jewelry is stamped from paper-thin foil overseas and takes a month to arrive. At our shop at 2612 Howard Loop in Salado, Texas, we cut every piece ourselves from 16-gauge bronze—as thick as a dime—and tumble it for 8 hours so every edge feels smooth against her skin.

We plate a nickel-free palladium barrier so it won't turn her neck green, finish it in heavy 14k gold plating with a clear baked ceramic topcoat for everyday wear, and burn your note into a solid blonde maple card before shipping within 5 business days.

Frequently Asked Questions About 4-Layer Metallurgy, Sizing & Salado Shipping

Direct answers to common questions about our 1.3 mm (16-gauge) 4-layer construction, U.S. Dime scale, and lifetime replacement guarantee.

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.

How fast do personalized orders ship from Salado, Texas and what is included?

Every $68 necklace is personalized to order at our studio at 2612 Howard Loop, Salado, Texas 76571 and ships within 5 business days with free insured USPS Ground Advantage delivery (or Next Business Day for +$15). Each piece arrives on a 3.0" × 3.0" CO₂ laser-engraved solid blonde maple card inside a 3.5" × 3.5" × 1.0" linen gift box.
