I love to encourage small businesses. Amos Pewter is located in a small town in Nova Scotia. My husband took me there the first time I visited the region where he grew up. I have since purchased multiple ornaments. Just received these 2! They are always beautiful and well crafted. It makes my Christmas tree extra special 🥰

I'm from the UK and a number of years ago (2011) my Nan gave me some money. I bought a beautiful star tree topper from Amos Pewter which i had engraved. My Nan died at Christmas a few years ago which was her… favourite time of year and my star is a special reminder of her on the top of my tree every year. It is beautiful and will be passed down through the generations of our family. Thank you xx

We try to get up to Nova Scotia every summer. Without fail, every time we're there, we make the trip out to Amos Pewter. I always buy the year's ornament - they're so lovely I wear several of them as necklaces. And they have a "Hands on Experience" for the kids (or really anybody who wants to try their hand at finishing a pewter piece) that is packaged in a lure bag with everything you need to finish a piece. They even lend you a tool to sign it on the back, or personalize it. Best deal in the shop at around $5. My only complaint is that they should change up the Hands

Great products, but customer service is lacking. Very snobby, no smiles or acknowledgement from the 2 stuffy wenches at the cash. My partner and I were the only ones in there with the intention to purchase, but left with nothing. They didn't even say hi when we walked in, they just glanced at us. Big turn off!

This is our go-to place for wedding/graduation/christening gifts. All the pewter is made right in the building, the designs are extremely beautiful (and there's a range of designs, from the expected maritimey themes to more abstract or classic designs) and it's very good quality. They have an expanding range of gift items from jewellery to vases, mugs and goblets and just about everything imaginable in between. Need a classy cheese board with pewter knife? They've got it! it's not cheap but it's first rate and worth the price.
One of the things we like the best about

This pewter palace is an eclectic collection of pewter-made wares ranging from small trinkets like keychains and letter openers all the way up to larger, signature pieces for the home. If pewter is your passion, this is the place to get your fix.
The heavy maritime theme is really aimed at tourists who may want to walk away with a seagull, whale, lighthouse, or pewter/tartan collabo, but I'll give it to them for making a nice, upscale product that offers a classier option that your average lobster t-shirt.

Amos is a delicate interior of hand made pewter crafts. Jewelry and trinkets are strategically scattered throughout, and maintain an earthy, uniquely Maritime feel for the most part.
The space is large and open, with glass displays much like a gallery. Towards the back there is a work station in sight, as to reassure all that pass through the fact that these delights are made close to home.
Teeny figurines of animals and shapes appeared elegant, while jewelry teetered between funky and refined. There is a certain play with texture with designs; some smooth, some purposely tarnished to give an

Walking the water front on Wednesday night I came across this pewter location that I did not know even existed and how many times have I been down here. All hand crafted right in Nova Scotia which is always a good thing.
Inside it reminds me of a beach theme with aqua walls and the floor reminds me of sand with a beautiful in print of what looks like a sand dollar. Most of the jewelry took after things that you found on the beach such as shells and starfish . Things like earrings and , bracelet's, sun catchers, necklaces would be great for gifts. Now if you are looking for something more
