Handmade Pewter Butterfly Necklace

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Jewellery


Product Description:

This colourful necklace of glass beads features a handmade pewter pendant set with a glass cabochon. It measures 44cm (17.5ins) and has a silver plate lobster clasp. 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.
