This isn't just a brooch; it's a small piece of wearable art, handcrafted with care by pewterer William Sturt. It's a beautifully detailed oak leaf, cast in 'Fine Pewter' that is completely lead-free and nickel-free, so it's safe for sensitive skin and won't cause allergic reactions. The magic of this pewter is its deep, natural luster – it doesn't need any special polishing or plating, and it's designed NOT to tarnish over time. William uses traditional techniques: he hand-carves the original model, creates a silicon mold, and then spin-casts each piece. After casting, every brooch is cleaned up and polished by hand. The result is a solid, substantial, and elegant piece of jewelry. The brooch is about 5 cm (2 inches) long and comes presented in a high-quality box engraved with 'Handmade in Fine Pewter,' making it a wonderful gift ready for giving. It's a perfect 10th wedding anniversary gift (traditionally associated with tin/pewter) or a special treat for anyone who appreciates nature-inspired, handmade craftsmanship. To clean, just use a bit of mild soap and a soft cloth. A timeless accessory you'll cherish.
