A classic nameplate necklace never goes out of style—from her first apartment and her wedding morning to the day she hands it down to her daughter. The secret to a nameplate she can wear in the shower of everyday life is real metal thickness that lies flat and never kinks.
Designed in Switzerland by founder Mia Vellamere and personalized to order in our Salado, Texas studio, The Sophia Name Necklace brings timeless script together with watchmaker-grade 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze construction. Every edge is rotary-tumbled for 8 hours to a buttery radius, mirror-polished with zero engraving lines, and sealed in 4-layer 14k gold brilliance on a custom-engraved blonde maple gift card.
Why She’ll Love Wearing It Every Day:
- Sturdy 1.3 mm (16-Gauge) Weight & Exact 10 mm / 7 mm Scale: Cut from solid 1.3 mm jeweler’s bronze—nearly twice as thick as flimsy chain-store nameplates—with a 10.0 mm tall first capital letter (55.9% of a U.S. Dime) and 7.0 mm tall lowercase letters (39.1% of a U.S. Dime). Tumbled for 8 hours in ceramic media with zero etching so every letter is 100% smooth and mirror-polished.
- 4-Layer Metallurgy + Porceshield™ Ceramic Coating: Plated with 0.025 microns of pure Palladium (the most hypoallergenic substance on earth), plated with a full 2.5 microns of heavy 14k gold (5 to 10 times more gold than normal jewelry), and sealed with our electrostatically charged, baked-on ceramic coating (Porceshield™) to add 5 to 10 years of wear.
