Frequently asked questions
Q :  What is bronzing?
A :  The word bronzing refers to a process in which an item is encased in copper and then aged to give a bronze  finish.

Q :  How are shoes bronzed?
A :  Shoes are bronzed using a technique called non-metallic electro-plating. This means that almost any object
      that is not metal can be encased in metal.
      Using this method we transform your baby shoe into a beautiful bronze ornament.Your baby shoe is underneath the
      bronzing, preserved for an eternity.

Q :  Are all bronzing procedures the same?
