Know before you buy
The ornament is finished with a vibrant turquoise coating applied over the recycled steel. This provides a durable, smooth finish while highlighting the intricate details of the metalwork.
The ornament does not include a hook or ribbon. Because it is a lightweight metal figurine, you can easily attach your own ornament hook or decorative ribbon to the snowflake design.
While the steel is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor use. If placed outdoors, we recommend keeping it in a sheltered area to protect the finish from moisture and prevent potential rust over time.
Each piece is individually crafted from recycled steel drums using traditional tools, meaning there may be slight variations in the metal texture or finish. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisan process and make each snowflake unique.
The ornament is lightweight and designed to hang easily on standard Christmas tree branches without weighing them down. Its recycled steel construction provides a sturdy feel without being overly heavy.
