This bird ring is a great gift for weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays! Each bird ring is custom-shaped from a ¼" steel rod, then nature takes over to give it a rusty patina. This design can be left outdoors all year round without any maintenance. The rust coloring may vary, but when used outdoors, the finish will gradually darken to a deep, uniform tobacco color.
Each bird ring measures about 16" in diameter, 20" from end to end on the longest "wire," and includes a rusty hook for hanging.
TIP: Rust is a dynamic finish. If the temperature or humidity fluctuates, it tends to flake a bit. This does not mean it is falling apart, but it can get messy if you are displaying it indoors. To reduce rust shedding, apply light coats of clear spray lacquer, such as Rustoleum, to create a seal without adding high gloss.
Since each bird ring is formed by hand, there may be slight differences in size and design.
