St Justin Celtic pewter jewellery and giftware is
hand-crafted in Cornwall, the South West extremity
of Britain. It is in places such as Cornwall, Ireland,
Wales and Scotland that the art of the Celts and Ancient
Britons has survived.
Celtic art reverberates throughout the centuries,
identified by the simple sophistication and elegance
of form, and a reverence for the earth and its creatures.
St Justin gives it form in the enduring alloy of pewter,
not only a recreation of the past, but a continual
evolving of living art, created by modern craftsmen
for the people of today.
Pewter is made of 92% tin, with copper and antimony
to harden it and enhance casting. It rose in popularity
during the Middle Ages, replacing wooden tableware
in well-to-do households. Enduring and malleable it
acquires an attractive patina with age. At St Justin
tradition lives on – high-quality pewter is ladled
into rubber moulds created from the artist’s
original sculpture. After cooling and finishing the
items are hand-polished and painted by skilled craftspeople,
before clips and other findings are spot-welded into
position.
The result is a gift of great beauty and craftsmanship – an
object of art to treasure forever!
