Abalone Shell, Pewter and Silver
(back to Metalworking heading)

The art of marrying various materials is a way of giving objects beautiful contrasts and shows the patience and loving hands of the artisan as well as the skill of the technique. The combination of iridescent abalone shell with pewter and silver is the epitome of this marriage.

Nothing is as beautiful, stylish and gracious that we offer as Abalone Shell and Pewter tea and coffee sets. This is easily one of the special gifts in the world. These are hand crafted meticuously; and, note from the production values, not that many are made.
