Pewter is a popular choice for jewellery due to its affordability, durability, and timeless appeal. Unlike other metals, it resists rust and tarnish, making it perfect for everyday wear. With just a little care, your pewter jewellery can retain its beauty for years. Here are our top tips for caring for your pieces:


To clean your pewter pieces, wash them with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Use a soft cloth to gently scrub the surface, avoiding stiff brushes or abrasive pads that could scratch the metal. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and dry well with a soft, lint-free cloth. It's important not to soak pewter or expose it to extreme heat, such as dishwashers or direct sunlight, as this can damage the metal.

Also, avoid using silver or brass polish, as the chemicals in these products can discolor pewter. Instead, stick to mild soap and water for regular cleaning. When handling household chemicals, it's best to remove your jewellery to protect it from potential harm.

For storage, keep your pewter jewellery in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and preserve its shine.

By following these simple steps, your pewter jewellery will maintain its charm for many years to come, and remain a cherished piece in your collection.
