Uffington White Horse

MADE IN CORNWALL, ENGLAND

The oldest remaining white horse and certainly the most beautiful, is the Uffington Horse, which is dated to the bronze age or early iron age, possibly over 3,000 years old and located in the south of England.  Local people have kept it cleared and told its stories as cultures and ideas have come and gone and changed over the centuries.

Width: 48mm Height: 16mm Chain length: 18 inch (45cm) Below the makers tell us a little of the material and process...

Pewter is a malleable metal made of tin, copper and antimony. It melts at around 260 degrees Celsius and can be cast into vulcanised rubber moulds which only deteriorate slowly over many casts.

We cast our jewellery and gifts using this method and then painstakingly go through a fettling process to remove any surplus material and casting lines.
Each piece is polished and any findings or gemstones are fitted before packing. The whole operation is very labour intensive requiring skills that take many years to perfect. Due to the process it is highly unlikely that two pieces will be exactly the same even though to the untrained eye they may appear so.

Our staff take great pride in their work and are open to suggestions that may improve quality even further.  Lifetime guarantee. If there is a fault in the workmanship, we will repair or replace it free of charge. Simple.
