Aitkens Pewter on Front Page!

The story on the front page of the Daily Gleaner (Fredericton, New Brunswick's local paper) was not focused on pewter, but the Saint Thomas University Student interviewed and pictured is wearing our Pisces zodiac pendants...

These pendants have become very popular amongst many of our customers. Both men and women alike, seem to be attracted to their simple design. We decided to use black cord as a finding to keep the whole look more earthy. Every pendant comes with a small write-up that tells a bit about the particular zodiac sign and instructions on how to make the perfect slip-knot.

The designs are based on one of Martin Aitken's (owner of Aitkens Pewter) first belt buckle series. They were released in the early days of Aitkens Pewter around 1973. In the year 2000 we created the pendant designs and released the whole 12 month collection.

If you are interested in seeing all of the zodiac designs please follow this link... Zodiac Pendants.

We always love to see our work pop up in photos and at special events. If you happen to see one of our pieces someplace or have a special piece you use or love to wear, please email us a picture at comments@aitkenspewter.com. We would be happy to post it on our blog with a bit of text explaining your event or why you like that special piece.

Thanks....

Aitkens Pewter's 1st Blog Posting

Welcome to the "official" Aitkens Pewter Blog. You may find it strange for a small pewter company in New Brunswick, Canada to have a blog but we feel it is an important step forward and a great compliment to our new online store(http://www.aitkenspewter.com/).

We have always prided ourselves on the "experience" we give our walk-in customers. In the past (before today) our walk-in customers we able to get inside information on the products and services we offer or are going to offer. Not that we were leaving our online customers in the dark but we did not have a avenue to do this... unless you wanted an email waiting in your in box every couple of days... we know you did not want that! Now you will be able to keep up with the news on your terms and on your time schedule.

This will be the place to get all of the up-to-date information on new products, new locations, what we are up to and also where we are going. This also will be a spot for you to leave us a note on how you think our designs are looking or what the next new product should be. We want your comments... that's what will make us better!

We hope you come back often or sign up to the RSS feed so you can stay in the loop. You are a very important part of why we have been in business since 1972... and we want you to know we appreciate you!

Thanks for stopping by!
