Pewter Earrings
The traditional
method of fastening the plaid, cloak or shawl at the shoulder.
Designs are eternal interlacings from such sources as the Book of
Kells or Lindisfarne . It is the only indigenous British art form
of world significance. The "overs and unders" represent
the ups and downs of life and the unbroken interlacing of the
ribbon symbolizes the hope of eternal life.
FAQS: Art
Pewter jewellery is hand wrought in old fashioned pewter, an
ancient alloy of tin, lead and copper, in use for 1,000
years or more. Pewter does not contain silver. The silver
appearance is in fact a plated finish of Palladium (similar to
Platinum) which, unlike silver, is resistant to tarnishing and
will not scratch readily. The Gold finish is 23 carat
electroplated. "Stones" are the best imitation gems
available.
