The Owl and the Pussycat Silver Pewter Brooch with by coatiMonday

Shared by Owl and Cat in the Jewellery


Product Description:

This brooch has been handmade in shiny lead-free pewter and features Edward Lear's famous couple sailing beneath a genuine pink mother of pearl moon. It measures 40mm in diameter and has a 30mm pin with safety catch on the reverse. Gift boxed (may differ from that shown). A great gift for a 10th Wedding Anniversary, Mothers' Day, Valentines Day, Christmas or 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, 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.
