Pewter Jewellery Should be a Part of Your Collection

Everyone knows about silver or gold jewellery.  But few understand the benefits and beauty of pewter jewellery.  Pewter is a metal alloy, consisting mainly of tin (85 to 99 percent), with the remainder usually consisting of copper and antimony. Pewter has a bright, silvery sheen, optimum lustre and is extremely durable. Pewter maintains a stable surface, which does not easily tarnish or discolour.  Jewellery lovers will also appreciate the fact that pewter is non-allergenic.

Not all pewter is of the same quality.  Some of the best pewter jewellery comes from expert designers and craftsmen in places like Israel, who, through a synthesis of ancient methods and state-of-the-art technology, create beautiful and ornamental pewter jewellery.  These expert craftsmen often plate pewter jewellery in pure gold, silver or brass, and further adorn the jewellery with natural gems, semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, and leather. The result is jewellery of immense beauty.

North American boutiques and stores, as well as their customers, are only recently being exposed to the beauty of pewter.  Shoppers who have the opportunity to find quality pewter jewellery should not shy away. Pewter jewellery is not only beautiful, but it is also trendy, chic, and unique.  It offers a new world to jewellery lovers, especially those who want to add something different to their personalities and their wardrobes beyond traditional gold or silver www.sharonscollection.com
