The Christopher Pinchbeck Influence The Cavendish 'Antique' collection is crafted from a beautiful metal similar to Pinchbeck - an arcane metal invented in the early Eighteenth Century by the famous watchmaker Christopher Pinchbeck in his search for an alternative to gold. The formula, a closely guarded secret, includes zinc, copper, carbon and other 'unknown' elements. Pinchbeck is a beautiful and unique metal that is nickel safe and has the look and warmth of old gold and of course is more affordable. Guaranteed for life the Cavendish Collection is as 'good as gold'. |

Care To maintain the Cavendish French 'antique' look, polishing with a soft cloth will keep your jewellery in pristine condition. Contact with water, perfume and hairspray should be avoided as it can damage the special finish. |
