Alchemy Gothic Pendants are cast and Hand Made in fine English Pewter, many with additional high quality crystals and other components, hand-plated or other two-tone finish and all come complete upon their nickle-free chain or other necklace of appropriate length.
The metal used in the manufacture of Alchemy's pewter products is the highest grade, 92% tin alloy, (to BSS5140 standard), known as "English Pewter". Some manufacturers misleadingly use the term 'pewter' to describe alloys containing lead. This results in inferior, more easily made products which are heavier, softer and of a darker colour and are much more prone to tarnishing.
Looking after your Alchemy
Pewter, like silver, may tarnish, but can be easily polished up to a brilliant lustrous shine, using a brass or silver polishing wad and a wipe with a dry cloth. DO NOT put pewter into a salt-loaded dishwasher, which could corrode a polished surface.
