Acorn Bookmark, from a Single Acorn a Mighty Oak Grows, Pink, Purple or Blue Tassel, Hand Cast in Fine Pewter by William Sturt (Pink)

Our quirky bookmarks come in lots of designs with our phrases (or custom made with your phrase) and are handmade by William Sturt in solid, hand polished, lead free pewter, a safe, eco-friendly material. They are hand polished and the solid pewter means they will not chip or flake as they are not chemically coated. They are easy to clean with soapy water and a soft cloth. We have a wide range of designs but can also custom make items if you have a home improvement project. We currently have shells, seahorses, exotic animals, hares, dragonflies, flowers, dolphins, whales, we can also make you dinosaurs! Every item is handcrafted by William in his converted barn, occasionally helped but mostly hindered by his lurchers. We use eco-friendly Britannia Pewter which is 92% tin, 6% antinomy and 2% copper and has been the premium pewter mix since 1769 when it was discovered by James Vickers. It is of course lead and nickel free, food friendly and hypo allergenic. Many of our pieces make wonderful wedding or 10th (tin) wedding anniversary gifts and you have the reassurance that we guarantee them for life. Although our highly polished pewter looks like silver, it doesn’t tarnish like silver and can be cleaned with soapy water and dried with a soft cloth. When William makes a new piece, he first carves a master in wax then builds a silicone mould. Once William is happy with a mould he will test and adjust it, then start casting. The pieces produced are left to cool then cleaned up by hand to remove any roughness from the casting. The next step is to polish, dry and inspect each piece; box it and send it off to its lucky new owner.
