Description
These cufflinks have been individually hand-made in shiny modern pewter. Due to the method of making, the links will vary slightly. Each link measures 2cm, 0.75ins,across. Gift boxed. A perfect gift for a 10th Wedding Anniversary, Birthday or Fathers' Day.
<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 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.
