    By buying hand cast pewter you are helping protect one of the rarest and oldest rural heritage crafts – dating back to the bronze age. We are now one of only a handful of pewterers left and all our pewter is made by hand using traditional methods which haven’t changed in centuries. Pewter has a wonderful deep glow and is heavier than expected in your hand. William has been working with pewter for 25 years and everything he makes is guaranteed for life. We use the finest Britannia Pewter which won’t cause an allergic reaction. It doesn’t contain lead or nickel and doesn’t flake, rust or tarnish, because we never use chemicals on it. If you need to clean pewter, use detergent or soap and rub it with a soft cloth, rinsing and drying afterwards. William starts by carving a master from which he constructs a silicon mold using a vulcanizer to heat silicon until it becomes liquid and envelopes the master. On cooling a perfect replica of the master is made embedded in the silicon. To create further pieces air ducts are carefully cut into the silicon – these allow the air to escape as molten pewter enters the mold. The positioning of these vents is crucial to the success of the mold and they can take several hours to get right. Pewter is hand ladled into completed molds to create new pieces which are left to cool before being cleaned up and polished ready for soldering or drilling.

  • New Zealand Silver Fern Pendant, with Adjustable Waxed Cord. Handmade in Fine Pewter by William Sturt


    Price: $20.00
    (as of Jan 31,2025 11:59:05 UTC – Details)



    Embrace the spiritual energy of Maori culture with our fern pendant. It is 3 cm long. The fern is one of the most recognized national symbols of New Zealand. Since the end of the 19th century, our fern has been proudly worn by our sports teams, honoured by our soldiers, and used to represent our country around the world. But why is the fern so special? Maori hunters and warriors used the silver underside of fern leaves to find their way. When bent, the fronds captured the light of the moon and lit a path through the forest. The fern has been the symbol of New Zealand’s national identity since the 1880s. For the Maori, the elegant form of the slings symbolized strength, stubborn resistance and lasting power. For the pākehās (New Zealanders of non-Maori descent), the fern symbolized their attachment to their homeland. The fern was worn by New Zealand troops in South Africa (1898-1902), then the fern symbol was used to identify New Zealand soldiers during the two world wars. The fern adorns the graves of our fallen, and has been worn by our national rugby teams since 1888.

  • Maori Fish Hook Cufflinks, Maori Fish Hook Cuff Links, New Zealand Cuff Links, Handmade, in Fine Pewter, by William Sturt


    Price: $22.00
    (as of Jan 31,2025 08:47:22 UTC – Details)



    These pewter cuff links were handcast by William Sturt in lead-free Fine Pewter which has a wonderful deep luster & needs no upkeep – it won’t tarnish. We do not charge you for delivery and we use top quality boxes, so if you are buying a gift, you can be sure it will not disappoint you. All our work is guaranteed by William for life. William has been working with pewter for twenty years, having first learnt the skill from a master pewter craftsman who specialised in ornate picture frames. His pewter is the highest grade available and is, of course, lead-free and nickel-free, it will not flake or rust or tarnish because no chemicals are used on it and it definitely won’t give you an adverse allergic reaction. If necessary, it can be gently cleaned with detergent or soap and a soft cloth. When William makes a new piece, he first carves a master, using a variety of materials such as wax or wood, then he builds a mould using his vulcaniser, which heats and crushes pure silicon until it flows around the original piece. This silicon must be left untouched until it is completely cool and a cavity will have been formed within it that is an exact copy of the shape of the hand carved master. Then the hard part begins. Tiny ducts are cut into the mould to allow moulten pewter to flow into each cavity, and to allow air to escape during casting. The correct placement of these ducts is crucial to a cleanly cast item. Once William is happy with a mould he will spend an hour or two testing and adjusting his work until he is completely satisfied. Next he begins casting using a centrifugal spin caster and the pieces produced are left to cool then are cleaned up by hand with a linishing machine which removes any roughness from the casting. The next step is to polish each piece, dry it and inspect it; solder or assemble the parts and finally box it and send it off to its lucky new owner.

    Embrace the spiritual essence of Maori culture through our Fern Brooch. The Silver Fern, an enduring symbol of New Zealand, holds profound significance. Since the late 19th Century, it has been proudly worn by sports teams and honourably donned by soldiers, representing the nation across the globe . The Silver Fern’s uniqueness lies in its historical role as a guide for Māori hunters and warriors. The silver underside of the fern leaves, when bent over, would catch moonlight, illuminating a path through the forest. Accepted as a symbol of New Zealand’s national identity since the 1880s, the Silver Fern carries deep meaning. To Māori, its elegant fronds symbolize strength, stubborn resistance, and enduring power; for the people of New Zealand it signifies a profound connection to their homeland. Worn by national rugby teams since 1888 and associated with the military for almost as long, the fern symbol has marked New Zealand units in conflicts worldwide. Its emotional impact is particularly poignant when adorning the headstones of war heroes. Crafted with precision and passion, our Fern brooch is a timeless piece that connects you to our rich Maori culture and its spiritual meaning.
