This buckle is the latest addition to a brand new collection that has evolved from a collaboration with sculptor and artist Peter Squire Jones (AKA - Davy Jones).Pewter is a traditional material that has long interested us. The depth and feel of the natural Pewter finish is quite unique and gives a lovely antique feel to finished products. When we met Peter we felt that his natural handcrafting ability and knowledge of Pewter, mixed with our knowledge of buckle design and making could make for an interesting collaboration. In this, our first collection, there is a strong reference to nature & the cycle of life. This particular design 'Cherry Blossom' has a strong Japanese influence with its angled silk screen background, gently etched surface and Swarovski crystal encrusted cherry blossom detail...Whereas some of our other pewter designs transport us to an English Garden setting this one transports us a world away to the temples and gardens of Kyoto and captures the short-lived joy of the cherry blossom season. This buckle is substantial in weight and feel, it will look lovely on one of our unlined vegetable tanned leathers if you want to use it for casualwear/jeans, but don't be afraid to dress it up with something a little sharper (maybe a mock croc with a little surface sheen and texture) to create a really eye-catching piece. Also worth knowing that apart from its wonderful look and feel Pewter is also Hypoallergenic - composition 94% Tin, 1% Copper, and 5% Antimony
How it's made |
Buckle making remains a remarkably traditional skill with most of our designs initially crafted by hand in wax before being melted away to create a mould from which we can cast your buckle. Once cast the buckle is then sent away for the galvanic process which gives it its colour and then any additional details such as enamel or crystals are applied by hand. Whether being made in Italy, France, Mexico, USA or the UK the techniques used remain the same. |
