Question 1

What is the traditional 11 year anniversary gift in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Steel — strong, tempered, harder under pressure. We don't make steel pieces, but our tin and bronze men's gifts borrow the same built-to-last theme.

Question 2

What's the modern 11 year anniversary gift?

Accepted Answer

Fashion jewellery. Our 'You Are My Rock' polished tin paperweight is the bridge between traditional and modern for the 11th.

Question 3

Can a gift be personalised?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cufflinks, paperweights, keyrings, bangles — all can be engraved or hand-stamped in our Cornwall workshop within two business days.

Question 4

What if I want both traditional and modern?

Accepted Answer

Pick a tin paperweight (traditional spirit) and add personalised engraving (modern personal touch) — same piece, both lists ticked.

Question 5

Are these actually handmade?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cast, beaten, polished and engraved by hand in our Cornwall workshop. We don't outsource a single step.
