Water Dragon - Pendant, Pewter

The water dragon rises from dark depths of the unfathomable ocean, touches our heart and brings a deep contentment into our life. Like the mysterious waves of the sea he symbolizes understanding and insight. Hence, this pendant is said to bring love and fulfillment to the life of its wearer.
 
This pendant is made of pewter. The word pewter is probably a variation of the word spelter, a colloquial name for the same metal. Artists and craftsmen used pewter quite early (dinnerware, sculptures, household articles, pewter figures, jewelry) and hence pewter jewelry has a long tradition. Pewter is a popular material for jewelry production, since it is a shiny, soft metal which is very malleable and has a good tarnish resistance.
