Description

This brooch has been handmade, in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, in shiny lead-free pewter and features a genuine amber cabochon. It measures 37mm diameter and has a 30mm pin with safety catch on the reverse. In spite of its size, it is light in weight.Gift boxed (may differ from that shown).
<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.
