Create fantastic jewelry with Art Metal Components – a gorgeous line of adaptable pendants and charms hand crafted by the artist, Anju, herself. Art Metal Components are made of fine pewter which has been electroplated with silver, copper, and brass. They are antiqued to bring out each beautiful detail. They are also finished with an anti-tarnish coating so each piece always stays as beautiful as the day you purchased it.

Every Art Metal Component is completely customizable. Pewter is a malleable metal, which allows you to gently bend and shape your pendant until it is perfect for your application. Round pendants and charms are especially easy to dome with a dapping block. Use our Art Metal Hole Punching Pliers to hang dangles from your pendant -OR!- to hang your pendant in a different direction! If all of that sounds a little too much, don’t worry. Each Art Metal Component comes ready to wear with holes and/or bails already in place!
