We will email you a picture of a similar item, without engraving, to print & wrap to provide the gift giving experience on the right day! Some people create a certificate & add this picture.

We partner with two professionals to elevate our pieces. Our powder coater, Ace Powder Coating, creates the most durable and rust resistant finish available, for both indoor & outdoor uses. Dani of Stucki’s Jewelry, creates the best, professional engraving for you.
We believe our products will stand out in the world of mass produced things.


Options of 3 powder coated finishes (professionally baked-on): silvery steel, matte rust brown & shiny black powder coating, which is the most durable finish over time. This to deter rust, keeping your piece looking great.
Easy to clean with a soft micro fiber cloth. If greasy, use a little diluted dish soap, softly wipe off, and dry completely .
**Only use abrasive if you plan to refinish it.

No, not too heavy. We've had all great comments about our horseshoe toppers.

Topper has a prong to stand on the cake and later hang on the wall for good luck. Also a choice with a leg to allow it to stand on the cake & then on your memory shelf afterwards. The weight is distributed widely on either style. To make absolutely sure there are no issues, the cake baker could add a Wilton cake board underneath the topper, under the frosting & no one will see it. Cake bakers do this all the time & also use them between the layers of the cake. You can also read our reviews, and will not find any issues reported to us.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask, comment or make suggestions. Love to hear from you.

Engraving, go from ordinary to awesome! Engraving allows longer names, dates & sentiments than hand stamping, because the font size can be controlled. Professional engraving looks cleaner and neater. Makes for a rustic, upscale piece. We use pure copper plates, not the thin plates used for trophies. It make a better, long lasting impression.

Recommend ALL capital letters for best results. Fewer characters, the larger the font can be. Dates are best abbreviated,: i.e. 06.08.22 or 6-8-22 or 6/8/22.

WHY? All caps prevent the small letters of (a,e,o,u) looking like blobs (not a technical term LOL) from the tight, small inside curves of the engraving process. It's a better outcome for your order, on the pure copper plate.

Powder coating creates a hard finish that is tougher and resists rust longer than conventional paint. It is the best rust resistant finish anyone can offer. It's used for both outdoor & indoor items to protect your piece from rust. Powder coat paint is a baked-on finish used on motorcycles, cars, & outdoor furniture, and anything that is exposed to humidity and outdoor environment, so you know it's durable and resists rust. It is long lasting finish.

It can be engraved with your personalization.
Powder coating finish choices (3) : silvery steel, rust brown and shiny black.

Environmentally, it emits near "0" volatile organic compounds (VOC). It produces a thicker coating to withstand humidity and finger prints.

Why buy here? *3* Reasons:
1) We care to make the very best we can. We take responsibility for our products. Steve does all the work himself, with the highest of standards. He does not let anything out of the shoppe he doesn't like.

2) We sell directly to you. There are no middlemen, with markups, along the way. Less cost than a typical retail store, and we personalize our creations.

2- Environmental Friendly. What does it mean to offset emissions?
It means that for any carbon emissions released into our atmosphere as a result of shipping items on Etsy, Etsy invests in projects that reduce carbon emissions by the same amount. That's good for our environments. AND there’s no cost or action required for buyers or sellers. :-)

Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
One of the key advantages powder coating has over other finishing processes is how safe it is for the environment & for the people
