The Stone River Bronze story has its beginnings in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains. The Company was established in the Jackson Hole,
Wyoming area by an individual who saw a need for quality,
handcrafted hardware built to meet the needs of discerning customers.
In a market driven by customer demand for better quality, the company grew from a handful of employees to a fully staffed manufacturing facility. Stone River Bronze investment casts hardware in three different bronze alloys: Nickel, Silicon, Manganese Each alloy has a unique base color determined by specified amounts of mixed metals to create the desired alloy. The bronze alloy ingots are melted in crucibles and poured into molds to cast each piece of unique hardware. Products with burnished natural finishes will age over time and will develop a rich hue as a result of the natural oxidation process. Patina finishes will develop wear highlights with use and exposure. Each piece of bronze will change according to different environments. Aging and highlighting are desirable characteristics of bronze and part of the unique living finish. Each of the bronze alloys are available in standard hand-rubbed oil patina or burnished finishes. These are living finishes that age, becoming richer and more beautiful over time. These choices satisfy a wide variety of hardware preferences. Each piece of bronze is created and finished by hand; therefore, each piece is a unique work of art. The subtle variations that result are inherent in the natural beauty of the product.
