Jeweled Heart is a luxurious wrought iron gate. This dual styled ready
to ship piece measures a total of 16 feet in length. Gold tones with subtle
black accents combined with the hammered frame and pickets optimize the
texture. The gold tone is a truly luminescent color that plays with the
sunlight. All the little details on this particular design are what make
it special. There are several different scroll work designs. Especially
noticeable is the cascading scrollwork on the top of the gate's subtle
bell arch. Tight scrolls are tucked within the beautiful structure, while
vines and leaves sweep across the top and bottom.
Its name comes from the two prominent hearts featured on both sides of
the gate. These basket woven and plated-boarder hearts are extended forward
for a truly multi-dimensional feel. Accompanying the hearts are dual fanciful
poppy flowers. Another eye capturing design is found within the center
of the gate. This bold cylindrical pole has alternative pattern of beads
and stars. This subtle pattern adds a touch of whimsy. Finally, at the
apex of this gate you'll find an ornate crest. This emblem design has fluid
like ribbons and a cluster of stars and a poppy. Ultimately, the Jeweled
Heart is a lovely gate for your home's entryway.

Our gates are welded using traditional stick welding processes. Also known
as shielded metal arc welding, this process consists of using a consumable
electrode coated in flux (a chemical agent - zinc oxide - that removes
oxidation from metals) to create an electric arc for welding. The vapors
from the flux create an inert gas, known as shielding gas, which conducts
heat and reduces the voltage required for welding. This process also creates
slag, or melted metal, that protects against atmospheric contamination
of the welded material. The slag must be chipped off, and the overall process
requires a skilled artisan for a properly finished piece.
Forging is the traditional means of working iron and other metals. Traditional
tools are the hammer and anvil, and one major benefit of forged metal is
that it becomes harder as it is worked. This is because the grains of the
metal are deformed to follow the new shape, not broken, as in other methods
of metalworking. Our gates are forged in order to provide the most durable
final product possible.
Powder coating is the
process by which powdered pigment is applied to and cured on a surface.
The process for powder coating consists of a mechanical and/or chemical
treatment of the surface to remove impurities and contaminants followed
by the application of the pigments. Then the material is cured at high
temperatures which makes the pigments flow together and react chemically
to form the coating. Powder coating is preferred for certain surfaces because
it creates or contains close to no volatile organic compounds and does
not sag or run with thicker coats. The overspray can also be recycled so
there is little waste, making it less expensive and creating less hazardous
waste. It is also more versatile than traditional liquid paints. Often,
thinner coats of powder coating will be used for a slightly orange peeled
effect to prevent fingerprints, but thicker coats may be used for a smoother
finish. Our gates are powder coated to provide the most uniform, precise
painted effect possible.

Wrought iron is a reliable, attractive metal used for crafting gates.
To begin with, it is versatile, making it suitable for a number of gate
applications. It also offers a unique appearance in comparison to standard
metal or wood gates, and can be customized with a variety of accessories
or welded with accents of other metals, such as brass. It is so striking,
that it has become a favored medium for metal sculptors for its artistic
value. Finally, it is durable, a must for security and extended life. As
such, we have chosen wrought iron for some of our finest and most distinctive
gates.
