Deep South Mercantile Jingle Bell

While the exact weight isn't specified, the bell is crafted from metal and measures 10.5 inches tall, so it has a substantial, high-quality feel. It is sturdy enough to hang securely, but you should ensure your branch or hook can support a decorative metal piece of this size.

Yes, it is a functional jingle bell. However, because of its rustic, aged finish and substantial size, the sound is likely to be a deeper, more muted clank rather than a high-pitched, delicate chime.

The jute rope is designed for easy hanging, but its length is optimized for standard ornament display. If you plan to hang it on a door, you may need to add an extension or a wreath hook to ensure it sits at your desired height.

The bell is designed with an aged, rustic finish, but it is primarily intended for indoor holiday decor. If you choose to use it outdoors, be aware that exposure to moisture may accelerate the weathering process or cause the metal to rust further.

The finish is designed to be durable and decorative. While it is meant to look weathered, it should not transfer residue to your walls or furniture under normal handling conditions.
