The Story Behind This Piece

There is nothing quite like the feeling of turning the key in the lock of a brand-new home for the very first time—empty floors echoing with laughter, takeout boxes on the kitchen counter, and a whole future waiting to be lived inside those walls.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and cut to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The New Home Key Pendant shapes a vintage heart-bow skeleton key etched at 0.4 mm with 2026 in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Mounted on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card, it is the ultimate housewarming or closing gift.

“The New Home Key Pendant has real 1.3 mm weight—not thin foil.”

Ordered The New Home Key Pendant from the Family Names & Life Moments collection with a custom note on the 3.0" blonde maple card. The 10.0 mm Dime-scale proportion of The New Home Key Pendant sits right at the collarbone with smooth 8-hour ceramic-tumbled edges.
