Description
Handmade in pewter and featuring a genuine lapis lazuli cabochon, this striking brooch measures 40mm, 1.5 ins across and has a 25mm,1 pin with safety catch on the reverse. Comes gift boxed (may differ from that shown). A great gift for a 10th Wedding Anniversary, Christmas or Birthday.
<br />
<br />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 oxidised, 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.
