10th Anniversary!

Heart Embossed Jewel Box[/caption] A nice gentleman called the other day in a panic!  His 10th anniversary was coming up this weekend and he had to move fast to have something, not only beautiful, but appropriate for this special day.  He had looked up the traditional gifts to present to his wife and found that for this anniversary the gift should be tin.  Although traditional, by today's standards, a tin pie plate would be a very under appreciated gift!  And there really is not that much out there that could be considered worthy of such an important milestone in one's marriage.  But in his research, he found that quality pewter like ours, is made from 93% tin with a little copper, antimony and bismuth added for durability. Not only that, but the pewter shines like silver, will last a lifetime and never needs to be polished! His problem was solved!  He was able to get three beautiful engraved gifts for his wife;  a pewter picture frame,  a lovely jewel box and a set of pewter napkin rings. He had the frame engraved on the bottom "Happy 10th Anniversary" and had a great picture of them from their honeymoon that he was using for it.  The jewel box has a very pretty embossed heart on it where a personal sentimental message was engraved within the heart.  I won't reveal what that said, but I do know that he was putting something in it. The napkin rings were the practical part of the gift. They are rather formal  and so he had us engrave each one with their bridal monogram in an interlocking font. I'm sure our customers wife was extremely surprised when he presented these "tin" 10th anniversary gifts to her. As they are heirloom quality, she will be able to treasure all three items for many, many years to come.
