All of our pewter items are made in the U.S.A. and are regulated by Lead Free US standards.
Most of our pewter items come in 3 finishes: Antique Silver, Antique Gold and
Light Antique Silver. Epoxy charms have a bright nickel plating and then the
epoxy is applied by hand to the charm.
Antique Silver Finishes will vary in shade by manufacturer and in some cases
batch to batch. Antique Silver pewter leans more to a grey shade than sterling
silver. Keep that in mind if you are mixing Sterling Silver findings or beads
with pewter charms. Pewter is a weaker metal than Sterling Silver.
The Light Antique Silver finish is closer to Sterling Silver in color.
This is a plated finish and can wear or chip in a high friction area.
When ordering keep in mind the time factors. If an item is out of stock the finish
plays a part in getting that item. If out of stock Antique Gold finish takes approx. 3 weeks
to ship and Light Antique Silver Finish can take even longer.
