Here is some information we think might be useful

All our forged pieces are treated with Beeswax and ‘Renaissance Wax’ to provide a protective and attractive finish. We recommend, intermittently, that you treat the metal with a beeswax or a similar natural polish, this will create a beautiful patina over time and keep the piece looking great. Simply apply some wax, wait 30 minutes for it to dry, and buff to a high shine.

No lacquers or paints are used to treat the metal, so over time, and especially if there is significant moisture in the air, rust spots may begin to appear. If this does happen gently remove them with fine wire wool and apply a coat wax as detailed above. Given a little care and attention your piece will last for generations!

Keyrings come in a little cotton bag and shipped in a padded envelope.

Bookmarks are placed in a black branded card sleeve ready for gifting and shipped in a plain padded envelope.

Ring bowls and dishes are packed in a branded gift-box shipped in a padded envelope

Larger bowls are packed in a branded gift-box and then shipped in either a cardboard outer box or a cardboard wrap mailer

Other items, like fire tools are wrapped in paper and bubble wrap and shipped in a cardboard tube or shipping bag.

Gift wrap is available for every item and we keep it rustic-style: thick light brown Kraft paper and Rafia or cotton string tried in a bow and gift tag; blank or ask us to write a message.

All personalisation is done using letter and number punches and stamped using a hammer one my one into the metal. This is painstaking work, which is why we always check your order is correct before starting work
