Pewter Perfection

As we've reported before, metallics are shining for 2011. Gold, silver, bronze and the latest Hollywood fashion craze is pewter.


We're familiar with the metal, using it in our keepsake designs for over thirty years. Pewter is a popular substance for creating giftware and jewelry because of it's softness. It's easy to mold into intricate details and patterns and gives off a beautiful, matte sheen. Which makes it a perfect hue for red carpet gowns that mold to the figure and accentuate the natural glow of the wearer.



Sofia Vergara, Kerry Washington, Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba, Malia Akerman, and Blake Lively were all photographed in US Weekly wearing glittering pewter gowns in glam and classic styles, exposing the versatility of the metallic hue. We expect to see pewter becoming more dominant in fashion, giftware and home decor as the year continues.
