Silver Pewter Chameleon Brooch with Azurite by coatiMonday on Etsy

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Jewellery


Product Description:

This unique little brooch has been handmade in modern lead-free pewter, and features a pretty green azurite gemstone.It measures 33mm (just under 1.5 ins) across and has a 25mm pin with safety catch. Comes gift-boxed.
Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand (not cast) to my own design. A pattern is raised on a sheet of pewter, then the raised area is filled. The item is then mounted on a rigid base,chemically patinated, then polished.Modern pewter is lead-free and after patination has a shiny,almost reflective,finish.It does not blacken like silver and can be brightened, if necessary,with a smear of metal polish and a buffing with a soft cloth.
