Details
In 1960, thanks to the Fred C. Manning Charitable Fund, Acadia University received funding to build the beautiful colonial-style house of worship; Manning Memorial Chapel. The cross, which tops the spire, is gold leaf with a baked enamel surface. Marble and slate from Vermont and granite from Shelburne, N.S., were used in its construction and the colonial pillars were built by craftsmen in Newfoundland. The stained glass windows were created by Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia and were specially designed for Acadia University. The classical Baroque organ which is played daily for worship services, is also used for private instruction.
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.
