Product Info
Materials

Metals: All of Pilgrim’s metal designs are composed of three different metals—nickel, copper, and brass. There is no lead or any other harmful substance in the metals; all metal pieces are designed to be safe as possible, with a minimum of sharp corners and edges. Only lead free solder is used.

Magnets: The magnets we use on our pins and metal embellishments are nickel coated Neodymium magnets. These magnets are very strong, they can however peel crack or shatter if slammed together with another magnet. Products with Neodymium magnets should not be worn by persons with pacemakers or similar medical devices as strong magnetic fields of the magnet can affect the operation of such devices..

Beads: We use different styles, colors, and sizes of beads. The beads are always well attached to our products so that they do not fall off, but you should still take care with young children.

Papers: All papers are handmade from mulberry trees. The trees are not felled. Cuttings are made on the tree and its roots and trunk are left intact to renew and grow. For cost savings, we also use recycled paper that we get locally in Milwaukee.
