Tiny Gecko Badge or Brooch

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Jewellery


Product Description:

I have stopped making in pewter, so this is the last one ever! Hand-made in modern lead-free pewter, this little badge measures 25 x 29mm and has a 20mm pin with safety catch on the reverse. Comes gift boxed (may differ from that shown). A great gift for a Birthday.


Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand (not cast) to my own design. A pattern is raised on a sheet of pewter,(this is called repousse) 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.
