The Story Behind This Piece

With sweeping horns, a shaggy fringe of bangs tumbling right over kind eyes, and an unbothered calm in every pasture, the Scottish Highland cow has a way of making everyone who sees her slow down and smile. She is fuzzy, gentle, and completely impossible not to love.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Gentle Herd captures that iconic fluffy silhouette with 0.4 mm gold-on-gold laser-etched coat texture in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. It arrives on a custom-engraved solid blonde maple wood card inside a linen gift box.
