Gecko Lizard Cufflinks in Silver Pewter - Folksy

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Metal Crafts


Product Description:

A fantastic and unique gift for a man for a 10th Wedding Anniversary, Birthday or Christmas, these cufflinks have been individually hand-made in pewter using the repousse method. Each one measures 26 x 20mm. Presented in a smart grey gift box. I am no longer producing in pewter, so these are the last ones ever!

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.
