This eye-catching gold plated British Pewter Pin has a gleaming black crystal centre, and features a textured design with fine ridges created exclusively for the Royal British Legion. The iconic poppy is hand crafted in the UK from polished lead and nickel free fine English Pewter and comes in a smart presentation box. Pewter is a wonderful material for making jewellery as it has the appearance of silver, but without the tarnishing. It is the most eco-friendly metal to use for jewellery and there\'s no need to worry about sensitive skin and allergies. It also dates back in Britain to the 2nd century AD, when it was thought to have been introduced by the Romans. Dimensions: 1. 5cm (H) x 1cm (W)
