The Story Behind This Piece

Her starter has a name, a feeding schedule stricter than a newborn’s, and a permanent spot on the warmest corner of the kitchen counter. While other people stress-scroll, she is folding dough, scoring ears on crusty golden boules, and dropping off warm loaves wrapped in tea towels to everyone she loves.

Designed by founder Mia Vellamere and precision-cut in our Salado, Texas workshop, The Wild Crumb immortalizes her bubbly glass mason jar—complete with a 0.4 mm gold-on-gold laser-etched “FEED ME” label and rising starter line—in sturdy 1.3 mm (16-gauge) jeweler’s bronze. Mounted on a custom-engraved blonde maple wood card, it is the one gift guaranteed to make your favorite baker laugh out loud and never take it off.

Reviews for The Wild Crumb

New Salado Release • Free Lifetime Replacement
★★★★★ ✓ Verified Food, Drink & Kitchen Gift

“The Wild Crumb has real 1.3 mm weight—not thin foil.”

Ordered The Wild Crumb from the Food, Drink & Kitchen collection with a custom note on the 3.0" blonde maple card. The 10.0 mm Dime-scale proportion of The Wild Crumb sits right at the collarbone with smooth 8-hour ceramic-tumbled edges.

★★★★★ ✓ Verified The Wild Crumb Set

“The engraved maple card with The Wild Crumb made her cry.”

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