This nickel-plated bell is the perfect gift for a new bride or groom that wants to gain an instant edge in their relationship. The base of the bell is 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) in diameter and just like the bell on the counter of a hotel, you push down with your palm to make it ring. Why strain your voice with yelling or nagging when you can ring the bell as a signal to bring food or as a reminder that work needs to be done? Not recommended by marriage counselors
