Details
In a city with so many secrets, it’s not surprising that no one really knows why Saint John, New Brunswick’s Trinity Lamp is called the Three Sisters. Many believe it was where three sisters waited patiently for their men to return from sea. If that’s true, the women’s names have been lost in the mists of time. Located in St. Patrick Park at the end of Prince William Street, the Three Sisters Lamp used to guide mariners into the bustling seaport. Erected in 1842, the first light was a single oil lamp. Seven years later, three red gas lamps replaced the single lamp. If the three red lamps appeared individually, mariners knew they were heading safely into the harbour. If only one or two could be seen, they knew they had to change course.

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.

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.
