Aitkens Pewter is proud to collaborate with Nature NB to celebrate their 50th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, we have created an ornament that features the black-capped chickadee. This bird was named the official provincial bird, following a contest in 1983 put on by Nature NB. It is known for its distinct song that is associated with the welcoming of spring. A portion of the proceeds of each sale will be donated to Nature NB.

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.
