Sword of the Scottish Highlands - Pendant

Feel the strength of this sword of the Scottish highlands pulsating through your veins when you carry this weapon of the noble but also battle-scarred Highlanders. This pendant is said to enhance the courage and inner strength of its wearer. After all the Highlanders populated the inhospitable Highlands and defended them against all intruders.
 
This pendant is made of pewter, a shiny, soft metal which is very malleable and has a good tarnish resistance. Artists and craftsmen used pewter quite early (dinnerware, sculptures, household articles, pewter figures, jewelry) and hence pewter jewelry has a long tradition. The word pewter is probably a variation of the word spelter, a colloquial name for the same metal.
