The metal used in the manufacture of all Alchemy's pewter products is the highest grade English Pewter. English Pewter is the finest grade of pewter, (to BS EN 611-1:1995 standard). Traditionally, pewter was a mixture of lead and tin, but today, English Pewter is a rich, high-grade alloy of 92% tin with copper, (plus a few legitimate trace elements), and is regarded as a 'semi-precious' metal valued second only to silver. For jewellery and accessories this is the safest tin-based alloy in use and is fully lead, cadmium & nickel compliant to California Proposition 65 for total lead & cadmium content, Commission Regulation (EU) 494/2011(REACH) for lead & cadmium and European standard BS EN 1811:2011 for nickel.
