Fairy Symbolism | Faery Folklore
In folklore, fairies are mainly felt to be charitable to humans. They are known however to be playful and love to play tricks on mere mortals. They must be spoken well of and treated with respect, or you may rouse their anger. Folklore speaks of leaving small trinkets as gifts to fairies, such as small beads and dainty deserts, to gain their favor.

Belief in fairies is universal among almost all cultures. Scholars attribute fairies to the sirens of Homer, the nymphs of the Iliad, celestial singers in Sanscrit poetry, spirits of the Pacific Islands, and Hathor of ancient Egypt. In more recent folk culture, you will find leprechauns - wee folk of Ireland, the brownies of Britain and the kobold from the faerie realm of Germany.

Fairies live in their own enchanted realm -- The pathway to Faeryland is the 7-pointed Fairy Star --but they also have been sighted among the flowers, woodlands, hills and streams - sometimes riding on their fairy steeds or flitting from flower to flower. When fairies gather together to sing and dance, you might find a fairy ring of toadstools / mushrooms after they have left.

Pewter Charms / Base Metal Charms / Tibetan Silver Charms
Unlike our Precious Metal Charms & Pendants, Pewter designs Do Not come with Jump-Rings. All of our Pewter Jewelry items are Lead-Free. Though many will sell Pewter as Silver (as it legally can be sold; as it IS the color of silver) -- modern pewter contains No 'Real' Silver (as in bullion silver, the precious metal). A newly purchased object made out of pewter will generally be shiny. Though it doesn't tarnish, over time pewter may change to have a slightly grayer look. This should not be considered a flaw in the piece as this is a natural process of the metal reacting to various elements. Pewter can be cleaned with a gentle soap, and water. Intended for adult use only.
