A handmade raw steel garden crown, made in Norfolk by independent maker LV Bespoke and decorated with a personal choice from twenty-nine different paintball-style decorative glass marbles. It's an unexpected, slightly whimsical, slightly heraldic piece — the kind of garden ornament that makes visitors stop and look twice. Equally at home as a centrepiece in a flower bed, an unconventional table dressing for a garden gathering, or a sculptural punctuation at the end of a path.

The crown is welded by hand from raw steel and stands a substantial 700mm tall by 450mm wide, weighing around 7.5kg. Set into the steel frame are bright glass marbles in your chosen finish — the inventive part of the design, and the part that gives each crown its individual character.

About the marbles

The marbles themselves are decorative glass spheres of the kind usually found in recreational settings rather than gardens — vivid, often iridescent, and produced in an extraordinary range of patterns and finishes. Setting them into a piece of raw steel garden sculpture is a quietly clever choice: the bright glass catches sunlight against the austere weathered steel, the colours pop without feeling fussy, and the geometric repetition of round marble through angular metal works visually in a way that's harder to explain than to see.

Choose from twenty-nine different finishes — everything from Princess and Fairy (soft, romantic) to Troll and Commando (bolder, more dramatic), Watermelon Red/Orange and Bumblebee (vivid summer colours), through to Van Gogh, Snowflake, and Glitterbomb for something more painterly or sparkling. Some are translucent, some lustred, some opaque. If you'd like to know what a specific marble looks like before deciding, get in touch — we can send a closer photograph.

Bespoke text option

One of the four faces of the crown can be customised with text of up to 12 characters — a name, a date, a short phrase, a family monogram. The remaining three faces are decorated with your chosen marble finish.

How to request your text:

  • Add your bespoke text in the order notes field at checkout
  • Maximum 12 characters including spaces
  • Standard capitalisation will be used (e.g. "Mary" not "MARY") unless you specify otherwise in the note

If you don't include a note, all four faces will be decorated with your chosen marble finish — which is also a perfectly fine result, just unpersonalised. The choice is yours, but we want to make sure you don't miss the option.

Designed to rust — and why that's good

The crown is supplied in raw, unfinished steel, designed to develop a natural rust patina over time. This is intentional rather than a finishing flaw, and there are real practical and aesthetic reasons for it:

  • Rust forms a stable protective layer that slows further corrosion of the underlying steel — the crown will weather for years rather than degrade rapidly
  • The deep red-brown patina of weathered steel works beautifully against the bright glass marbles — the contrast becomes more striking, not less, as the steel ages
  • It eliminates the need for paint, lacquer, or coatings that would themselves fail over time outdoors
  • It suits the cottage garden aesthetic — weathered, lived-in, characterful, rather than newly purchased

If you prefer a slower rust development, place the crown in a sheltered spot for the first few months (porch, under an arbour, near the house). For faster patina, place it directly in the open garden. Either way, the crown will look more characterful with each passing season.

Where to place it

At 700mm tall, the crown is substantial enough to read as a focal feature without overwhelming smaller gardens. Suggestions for placement:

  • Garden centrepiece — nestled within a flower bed, surrounded by softer planting (good companions: ornamental grasses, sedums, low cottage garden flowers)
  • Path terminus — placed at the end of a garden path or against a hedge to draw the eye
  • Table feature — for outdoor dining or garden gatherings, makes an unconventional and conversation-starting centrepiece
  • Wedding and event hire — particularly popular for garden weddings, birthdays, milestone celebrations — the bespoke text makes it a meaningful keepsake afterwards
  • Memorial pieces — the customisation option suits commemorative gifts marking life events

Awful
I love this brand & expected more, especially for the price. the gloves are super bulky and uncomfortable. they’re hard to get on and off and have a strange feeling when on because of the gel lining. they also smell odd. i wore them so about a week with several different creams/balms/lotions etc. i woke up with them off multiple times which makes me know that i was uncomfortable in them during my sleep. they also caused a weird breakout on my hands up to my wrists that took over a week to go away with the help of cortisone. it was like hives but more rash like. i didn’t bother attempting to return them and decided to throw them out. waste of money, time & ended up with a rash at the end. they did make my hands softer and helped with my cracked skin but at what cost?

Update - Stick to your hands
UPDATED - I am SO impressed with the seller!! They read my review and gave me a full refund even though I no longer had the gloves to return. At this point I would suggest that you aren't taking a big risk to give these gloves a try, a lot of people obviously love them, and if you don't you can certainly get your money back. Many thanks to the excellent seller! __________________________________________ I bought these because it seemed like there were a lot of good reviews. I hated these! I don't understand why anyone liked them... they are lined with thick sticky gel. You know those gel like sticky toys that kids toss at a wall and it sticks? Or do you recall the sticky, gummy hands that you could toss and they would pick up a piece of paper or something? The lining of these gloves make me think of those toys. So my experience is that they are very difficult to get on and once they're on they really bugged me after awhile I need to get them off, but they're very difficult to get off without turning the gloves inside out. ...then you have to try get them turned back to right side out... in the end I tried them and then thought I would try them one more time but they were such a pain in the rear that I ended up tossing them in the trash because I waited too long to be able to return them. One of my saddest purchases from Amazon!

Hallelujah!
My hands were so dry and cracked until I got these babies. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into and was surprised when they were lined with some kind of silicone. Night one, I lathered my hands with whatever lotion I had laying around and went to bed. Now, these gloves are not super comfy because they're so thick, but not so bad that I won't use them. Anyway, wore them several hours and took them off in the middle of the night (they recommend at least 20-30 minutes). In the morning, my hands were baby soft. No cracks. No dryness in sight. AND it lasted all day. I did it the night after and I have not had dry hands for nearly 2 weeks! It's insane. I'm SO happy. Definitely worth it as a little treat yourself.

Is this the CURE!
Size: Regular, Color: Cream
I have a skin disease called Ichthyosis Vulgaris. Yes, SCALEY FISH! Thanks MOM! This unfortunate crud leaves my heels an embarrassing mess! They are cracked and dry and literally like concrete. I have had this disease all my life and there is NO cure. It's hideous! Anyway, I have tried so many different experiments to help improve my situation. So much time and money I will never get back. So when I saw these, I had to give them a try too because I am a forever optimist and love being disappointed. Here's how it went. First I put my dermatologist recommended AmLactin on my crusty heels. Then, I put the socks on. By the way, with no problem at all, and went to bed. I was not too hot, which is usually what happens when I sleep with socks on. I never even realized that I had them on. When I woke up, I took them off and immediately used a "Heel File" over a towel removing all the yuck!. Then, I sand papered them to smooth the skin out. Then, I doused them with Shea and Aloe foot lotion I found at the bottom of my experiment drawer in my bathroom. Oh, they felt like someone else's feet. I am very hopeful at this moment! Is this the cure to my embarrassing situation? I sure hope so. Spring is here and I would really like to wear my cute flip-flops when I go to the Waffle House and set at the bar. Wasn't that a picture on Facebook of someone nasty heels? It made me gag. Then, I had to make sure that picture wasn't me! I am going to do this for a week and come back for another review. Wish me luck ya'll! UPDATE! So it’s been about two weeks. I wish that I had taken a before and after picture. I guess I figure that this too will be a waste of money. NO! These little socks are a God send for me. I did buy AmLactin foot repair cream and that I highly recommend. It’s the best so far. They also offer an option with heel socks. They are soft and work very well also but one negative. They leave fuzzies on you feet and tools. Guys this is it for me. My search is over! I went to my mani/pedi queen yesterday and she was shocked when she saw my feet. She is spreading the word!
