Pewter has had many uses throughout history. Since the Middle Ages pewter has been used for dishes, utensils and servingware, as well as decorative items such as sculptures, candlesticks, ornaments and jewelry.

Pewter is a soft metal and easily malleable by hand tools for carving, engraving, or presses which makes
it an excellent choice for detailed jewelry or keepsake pieces. Like sterling silver, pewter is shiny
and bright but does needs regular cleaning to maintain its luster.
