DID YOU KNOW?

After platinum, gold and silver, pewter is the fourth-most-precious metal in the world. It is a type of metal that is mixed with other metals to be shaped and formed. Pewter has been used since the Bronze Age and is still used today for a number of purposes, because it doesn't rust or deteriorate. People continue to desire items made of pewter for their durability.

Pewter is simple to work with and can be shaped in a number of ways, including via molds of bell metal, steel or sand. It can be centrifugally formed using rubber or silicone molds. Pewter can also be shaped by being spun on a lathe to create decorative household goods and urns, and by pressing, rolling or forming objects by hand. One benefit of pewter is that it can also be melted to produce other items without losing its quality.
