Peggy's Cove Lighthouse Ornament
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse Ornament
Details
Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, built in 1868, stands as an iconic symbol of Nova Scotia. Perched on rugged cliffs, it offers breathtaking coastal views and highlights the area’s maritime heritage. Located along Nova Scotia's Lighthouse Route, Peggy's Cove is a popular fishing village renowned for its lighthouse.
Legend has it that the cove was named after Margaret, the sole survivor of a schooner wreck in 1800, known locally as "Peggy." The Peggy's Point Lighthouse marks the eastern entrance to St. Margaret's Bay. This bright red-and-white building, operated by the Canadian Coast Guard, once served as the village's Post Office during summer.
It stands on rocky terrain, making it one of Atlantic Canada's most photographed landmarks and a well-known symbol of maritime history.
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.
Shipping + Returns
We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.

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.
