Irish Pewter

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Pewter is not something that we would normally associate with Ireland yet pewter was in use in that country as long ago 1100AD. Of course at that time pewter was the preserve of the rich and it wasn’t until much later that pewter began to be used in other parts of society before it gradually fell out of use.

Irish pewter of 800 years ago was a much different metal to the one we see today. Back then Irish pewter was made from a combination of lead and tin while modern Irish pewter is made up of high percentage of tin combined with copper and antimony.

Mullingar Pewter revived the ancient art of pewter making and today you can see some of the finest and most exquisite pieces crafted in the traditional ways. You can see some of this fine workmanship in the pieces below.

Titanium Concepts - Rings

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

A lot of men love wearing jewellery and to receive a gift as special as ring will blow him away. A gift such as a titanium ring can be given as a Valentine’s gift, it can be worn as a wedding ring, can be given for that special husband on Father’s Day or as a special gift on his birthday or Christmas.

I quickly looked through the range of Titanium rings at Titanium Concepts and I have chosen two that I like but of course you can look through the entire range to choose a special one for the favourite man in your life.


Archimedes
- $139.00
Two 1mm wide silver inlays spaced 1mm apart in a lightly domed ring.


But wait… these titanium rings are also unisex, so guys you can now have your woman wearing a ring similar to yours. They make excellent wedding bands. Titanium is many times stronger than gold, platinum and silver are becoming a popular choice for wedding bands.

All the titanium rings are custom made to order from 6-4 titanium for strength and durability and there are no problems if small modifications are needed. This allows you to have the ring made how you want it. You can also select the thickness of your ring.





Sabine
- $109.00
A 1mm wide silver inlay in a flat band.

One of the best things I love about the range apart from the rings being made from titanium… is the price. The price of each individual ring is quite reasonable and I believe will suit most budgets. For more choices of rings… click here…
