If you want Customer care don't go anywhere else this company really looks after their clients.
I wasn't sure about ordering what I had selected on line as the item was very expensive & I wanted to make sure that the description I wanted engraved was correct. After speaking to them on the phone they followed up via an email showing me a sample of how it would look. Customer care indeed.
Superb company & would highly recommend. Their art work is fantastic.

Best Quality & Workmanship
I feel very fortunate and blessed to have made the acquaintance of Peter and Aaron of "The Metal Foundry." I tasked them with creating a memorial for my Norwegian great grandmother. And, they delivered! They produced a placque of the very best quality and workmanship. I am forever grateful.

Nice But…
Whilst it is a nice product delivered in good time. The background paint is what looks like one coat that looks very thin in places showing the metal through. With a white background this makes some of the personal wording not as distinct as I would have liked. The delivery packaging was also poor especially as this is designed to be a 60th wedding anniversary gift. At the price I was expecting more and even presentation box. I wrote to the manufacturers regarding the poor paintwork but didn’t even get the courtesy of a reply. Hence my three stars.
