Pewter is a blend of tin, copper, antimony and bismuth. It is the fourth most expensive metal after Platinum, Gold and Silver. 

Pewter never rusts or tarnishes and is an attractive silver colour. It is hypoallergenic and nickel-free. It is an excellent choice for everyday and special-occasion jewellery and accessories.

The use of pewter dates back at least 2,000 years to Roman times. Ancient pewter contained about 70 percent tin and 30 percent lead. Such pewter, also called black metal, darkened greatly with age, and the lead readily leached out in contact with acidic foods. Modern Pewter contains no lead, is of finer quality, more durable and brighter of sheen. RACPewter uses British Pewter.
