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 'Skull & Flowers' is a wonderful juxtaposition of ideas - the innocence and optimism of nature against the spectre of mortality...But if you like your skull inspired buckles then this is definitely one for your collection as it really is distinctive. 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. |
