Question 1

What is the traditional 21 year anniversary gift in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Brass. A warm, hard-wearing metal that polishes up beautifully and ages well — a fitting parallel for twenty-one years of marriage.

Question 2

What's the 21st anniversary symbol or modern equivalent?

Accepted Answer

Nickel is the modern alternative in the UK list, with iolite as the associated gemstone. Our brass and bronze pieces sit in the traditional camp.

Question 3

Can a gift be personalised?

Accepted Answer

Yes — engraving and hand-stamping done in our Cornwall workshop within two business days.

Question 4

What if I want something that lasts another twenty years?

Accepted Answer

All our metalwork is solid (not plated) and finished individually. The 'You Are My Rock' paperweight in polished metal is the most likely to outlast everyone reading this.

Question 5

Are these actually handmade?

Accepted Answer

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