The Story Behind This Piece

It is the word you called her when she was five years old with scraped knees on the driveway, and the word you still text her when she calls from her own apartment across the state. No matter how tall she grows or how many milestones she crosses, she will always be your kiddo.

Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and laser-cut in our Salado, Texas studio, Forever My Kiddo turns that lifelong family nickname into a sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) connected word pendant with 8-hour ceramic-tumbled rounded edges and zero etching—just 100% smooth, wet-glass 14k gold plated brilliance resting on an engraved blonde maple keepsake card.

Inside a Vellamere Charm: 4-Layer Cut-Open Cross Section (1.3 mm Jeweler's Bronze Core, 0.025 Microns Palladium, 2.5 Microns 14k Gold, Baked-On Ceramic Coating)

Reviews for Forever My Kiddo

New Salado Release • Free Lifetime Replacement
★★★★★ ✓ Verified Words & Phrases Gift

“Forever My Kiddo has real 1.3 mm weight—not thin foil.”

Ordered Forever My Kiddo from the Words & Phrases collection with a custom note on the 3.0" blonde maple card. The 10.0 mm Dime-scale proportion of Forever My Kiddo sits right at the collarbone with smooth 8-hour ceramic-tumbled edges.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified Forever My Kiddo Set

“The engraved maple card with Forever My Kiddo made her cry.”

Upgraded Forever My Kiddo to the necklace + matching Forever My Kiddo bracelet set (+$30). Shipped from Salado in 4 days and the 2.5 micron 14k gold over Palladium on Forever My Kiddo is completely gentle on sensitive skin.
