Buy Charms Online at:

Pewter charms are a cheaper alternative to the more traditional gold and silver charms, but produce the same results as their precious counterparts.

At around half the price of gold and silver charms, pewter is a great alternative for people on a tight budget who enjoy collecting charms. They are also ideal for parents who want to start collecting for their small daughters, but don’t want to pay large amounts for charms until the girl is older and able to look after more expensive jewelry properly.

History and Properties of Pewter

Pewter has a rich history dating back a number of centuries, with the first recorded discovery of the material being in Egyptian times (circa 1400BC). Made up of a combination of tin (consisting of anywhere from 92-95% of the makeup), antimony and copper, pewter is the fourth on the list of precious metals, behind gold, silver and platinum.

This material is very practical and is easy to work with and form into objects and also engrave – hence it’s use for pewter charms.

Products made from modern pewter should be tarnish-resistant and keep their sheen with very little maintenance. Should your charms need cleaning, wash them with hot water mixed with soap suds, and then dry them with a soft fluffy cloth for the best results. If they lose their shine and start to dull, use a metal polish on them before washing the charms.
