Recently Received a Really Good Question I thought I'd pass along to our Fans...
Question: What's the difference between Basemetal & Pewter?
Answer:
In the jewelry industry, basemetal usually refers to any metal that's
not a precious metal (such as bullion Gold, Silver, Platinum, Rhodium).
Examples of basemetals : nickle silver, tin, brass, AND PEWTER ("Tibetan Silver")!
So, pewter is a basemetal, but not all base-metals are pewter.

Hope that helps!
