This steel ring dish is cut from heavy gauge industrial steel, hammered, darkened, and stamped with your own words in Lake Murray, South Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eSteel is the traditional metal for the 11th wedding anniversary. Eleven years is not one of the loud milestones, which is exactly why something made by hand and marked with your own date tends to land the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eEach dish begins as a flat sheet of heavy gauge industrial steel. It is cut, formed, and hammered by hand. The darkening solution is then worked over the surface with a rag, built up in layers and added to wherever it needs more, until raw steel turns a deep gunmetal gray. The high points of the hammer marks are sanded back lightly afterward, so light catches the peaks while the recesses stay dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eThat final step is what gives these dishes their depth, and it is also why no two are the same. The patina takes hold a little differently every time. Some finish closer to charcoal, others closer to a soft pewter gray. Yours will not look exactly like the photographs, and that is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p3\"\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e• Small (3\"): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eApproximately 2 7\/8\" L x 2 7\/8\" W x 1\/4\" H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Handcrafted steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped and hammered by hand, one at a time in South Carolina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Finish: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003ehand darkened patina, sealed with a protective wax coating\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Traditional 11th anniversary metal, \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eand a fitting choice for the 6th (iron) anniversary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Gift-ready packaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives in a gift box with a polishing cloth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• No two are alike:\u003c\/strong\u003e slight variations in texture and patina are part of what makes each piece special\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCoated with a semi-permanent finish that allows the metal to develop a natural patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eHandmade to order.
