Frog Solid Pewter Buckle 40mm

This brand new collection comes 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. This is our first collection, with a strong reference to nature & the cycle of life. This particular design 'Frog' is both delightful and humorous, I love the rumpled feel of the lily pad and the splayed toes of the frog with his crystal encrusted eyes that make him slightly whimsical but also very natural - looking at this buckle brings to mind summer by the lake... 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
