✦ MATERIALS & PREMIUM CRAFTSMANSHIP ✦
--------------------------------------------------

• RAW INDUSTRIAL STEEL: Handcrafted from a single piece of 1/8" thick, high-quality industrial steel (which is composed of 98% iron and 2% carbon).

• BRUSHED FINISH: Features a beautiful, hand-brushed satin surface that catches light elegantly while remaining durable and modern.

• RENAISSANCE WAX PROTECTION: Each dish is meticulously sealed with premium Renaissance Wax to protect the metal and prevent early tarnishing or rusting.

--------------------------------------------------
✦ SIZING, DIMENSIONS & CARE ✦
--------------------------------------------------

• OVERALL SIZE: Measures approximately 3.75" in diameter and sits at a low-profile height of 3/4".

• INTENDED USE: This dish is specifically designed to hold jewelry, keys, coins, or cuff links. Please note that we do not recommend using it to hold food, liquids, or wet items.

• CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Over time, raw steel will naturally patina, especially if exposed to high humidity or moisture. We highly recommend applying a thin coat of Renaissance Wax (or any metal wax) every few months. If you live in a humid area, we recommend reapplying wax monthly. If rusting occurs, simply wipe it off with a dry paper towel or clean deep spots with a rust inhibitor like WD-40 before dry-wiping and re-waxing. We do not recommend using this product near water as the steel will rust.

✦ ABOUT WANDERWEG ✦
--------------------------------------------------

We are Melissa and Jiun, a Southern California-based couple who hand-cut, engrave, and assemble every single piece in our workshop to order. The word "Wanderweg" translates to "hiking trail" or "path" in German. We got engaged while hiking a “wanderweg” in the Swiss Alps, which inspired us to start crafting travel-friendly, personalized keepsakes for life's biggest milestones. We are deeply honored to play a small part in your path together.
