Heartshaped Strawberry Flower Pewter Necklace with Garnet

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Jewellery


Product Description:

This pretty heart-shaped pendant has been handmade in shiny modern lead-free pewter, and features a genuine garnet cabochon. It is suspended from a necklace of silvered glass beads, with real stones of garnet, amethyst, jade, mother-of-pearl, moonstone and kyanite. The pendant is 38mm across, and the necklace is 45mm long, with a lobster claw fastening.
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.
