Details
At this moment, somewhere in Canada, an Inukshuk (IN-OOK-SHOOK) is showing the way. For centuries, Inuit have been erecting stone markers as a way of providing direction across the Canadian Arctic’s barren landscape. In an environment where temperatures can reach minus 60°C, and freezing winds can howl and rage for days, Inukshuks can mean the difference between life and death. No wonder these “guideposts of life” also carry a strong spiritual connotation for the Inuit. In recent years, Inukshuks have become a powerful Canadian symbol recognized throughout the world. Aitkens Pewter is proud to present The Inukshuk Ornament, so finely crafted that when you look at it closely you can almost hear and feel those howling Arctic winds. Vision, leadership and strength — hallmarks not only of the Inuit people and their centuries of tradition but also of Canada itself.

Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
