đż How to showcase the heart
In the garden
Stick the heart directly into the flowerbed, planter box or between perennials. The warm rust tones harmonise especially well with lavender, grasses and white blossoms.
At the window & in the living area
To hang on the window handle, at the patio door or as a gift tag on a bouquet. It also looks lovely indoors in a flower pot.
As a gift
Small, personal, affordable â this heart has been our best-selling little gift to bring along for years. Especially lovely with a handwritten card or as a tag on a larger present.
đ Material & workmanship
We make the heart from Corten steel â a weather-resistant steel that forms a protective rust layer when exposed to the elements. In our workshop, each piece goes through our own rust-accelerating process: you therefore receive the heart not in shiny silver, but already with the characteristic warm rust patina.

â Frequently asked questions
Does the rust patina change over time?
Yes, thatâs actually intended. Outdoors, Corten steel develops an increasingly deep, protective rust layer. So the heart doesnât get âmore damagedâ over the years â it gains character.
Can I leave the heart off?
Yes, all year round. Thatâs exactly what Corten steel is made for. Frost, rain and sun do not harm the material.
Does the rust stain on light surfaces?
đ The perfect gift idea
How do I hang up the heart?
Thanks to the hole drilled in the center at the top, you can thread through a cord, leather strap or S-hook. We supply the heart without a hanger so you can style it to your taste.
Is the heart suitable for indoors?
Yes, but the rust can leave marks on delicate surfaces. Indoors, itâs best used in a flower pot, on a tray or on the windowsill.
Is the heart handmade?
Yes. Each heart is cut, welded and rusted by our team in Neunburg vorm Wald (Bavaria). Made in Germany â not an import product.
Is the heart suitable as a Motherâs Day or wedding gift?
Very much so. Itâs one of our most popular gift products â often ordered as a set for weddings.
đ± Care
None. The heart needs no cleaning and no treatment. If you ever want to stop the rust patina (e.g. for indoor use), you can seal the heart with clear lacquer.
