Pewter is an ideal material for jewelry because it is lead-free, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic, making it safe for even the most sensitive skin. Our earrings, like all of our jewelry, are crafted, painted, and assembled by hand in our New England workshop in Middlebury, Vermont. Varying in size, earring pendants range in length from approximately 3/4 inches to 1 1/4 inches long, with French wires are made of surgical steel. Because we craft every piece of jewelry by hand, all dimensions are approximate. Subtle variations are natural.
