From The Rams Horn

Throughout it's long history pewter has had an almost infinite variety of compositions, even today there are still numerous varieties produced. The only common factor is a relatively high tin content which is hardened by additions of other elements. In most countries newly manufactured pewter is a lead free alloy usually being hardened with additions of antimony and copper, containing over 90% tin. Other elements such as silver and bismuth are sometimes used in. In the past pewter often contained lead but as awareness has grown into the harmful effects of lead it has been eliminated. Modern pewter can be polished to a bright silver like finish or if preferred chemical darkeners can be used to simulate the patinas associated with old pewter. At the Rams Horn most of our pewter is burnished after being antiqued to bring out the detail. Our customers mostly prefer this finish to a high shine or to a brushed finish. The pins and other findings are all soldered by hand on our products by James E. Boyle. Our Pewter jewelry is of the highest quality and is meant to last for many years.

We also offer Textile and animal jewelry for sale. We have hundreds of unique pieces for sale in our jewelry line that can be purchased at your convenience on Line by following the links to our jewelry store. Thank you for your interest in our fine products. We look forward to doing business with you. All of our artwork is made right here in Western, NY. Our original models are created by carving the model in wax and then casting the design in silver. A high heat rubber mold for spin casting is made from that silver model.
