We are proud to offer gorgeous, hand-embellished polished pewter serving pieces, decorative pewter pieces and baby keepsakes. Natural stones, African ceramic beads, and sterling silver beads are securely wire-wrapped to each polished pewter piece.  Our pieces make stunning pewter gifts for someone special or they can add beauty to your existing pewter dinnerware or home decor.

Polished pewter or sterling silver?  Pewter's base metal is tin, and when mixed with alloys to make it stronger, makes an elegant pewter gift and functional product.  When polished, pewter looks just like sterling silver in that is has a lustrous shine.  However, sterling silver pieces are not only much more expensive but they tarnish easily whereas polished pewter does not tarnish and is very affordable!

The baby keepsakes are precious and one of a kind. We use Swarovski pearls, sterling silver charms and/or block beads to enhance the darling fine pewter spoons. And, the sweet Swarovski pearl bracelets, along with the spoons, can include the baby name or initials.

So, please browse through our site to find  unique wedding pewter gifts, a special housewarming gift, or a great baby gift.  Be assured that you will acquire a lovely, distinctive, and functional piece of art and lend support to two worthwhile causes!

A substantial portion of our sale proceeds go toward Deneke's Hope Foundation.  Please access the link below to learn more about this most important work.  And, through the purchase of the ceramic beads used on some pieces, support is given to African women of the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya.

"As of December 2007, Elegant Beading has donated $2,700.00 to Deneke's Hope Foundation from the profits of their sales.
