Personalized Iron 6th Anniversary Gift

The Traditional 6th Anniversary Gift — Made by Hand in Iron

The traditional gift for a 6th wedding anniversary is iron — and nothing says that more honestly than a piece forged by hand in our Ontario blacksmith shop. This shallow iron dish is hammered from 1/8" mild steel, heated and finished with beeswax to seal in its unique grain pattern and natural imperfections. No two are exactly alike.

It can be personalized with the sixth anniversary in Roman numerals (VI) or tally marks (IIII I) — a quiet, lasting detail that makes this more than a gift. It's a keepsake.

About This Piece

• Dimensions: approx. 4 ¾" diameter × ½" height
• Base: hammered flat at approx. 1 ¾" for stability
• Material: 1/8" mild steel
• Finish: heat-treated + beeswax sealed
• Personalization: Roman numerals (VI) or tally marks (IIII I)
• Handmade in Ontario, Canada

At only ½" in height, this piece sits low and wide — closer to a dish than a deep bowl. It's well suited as a ring dish, key catch-all, or decorative accent on a shelf or dresser. The hammered texture and beeswax finish give it a warm, industrial character that ages gracefully.

Why Iron?

Iron is the traditional 6th anniversary material — symbolizing strength, durability, and a bond that has been tested and forged over time. A hand-forged piece carries that meaning literally.
