Description
Last one. This beautiful large but lightweight brooch has been handmade to my original design in shiny lead-free pewter, and features a moon of genuine moonstone. It measures 46mm across and has a 30mm pin with safety catch on the reverse. Light in weight, it is delivered in a gift box (may differ form that shown).
<br />
<br />Each pewter piece has been individually made by hand using the repousse method (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.
