Two striking and detailed birds perch on top of a pewter bookmark, with a long fabric tassel. The quotation 'In order to see birds it is necessary to become part of the silence'. is written down the bookmark's length. When the book is closed the Wren and Robin remain on watch. The quotation is cast into the bookmark. The Birdwatchers' bookmark is 92 mm long (3.7"). The birdwatchers' bookmark is hand crafted from polished, solid lead-free pewter which is non-tarnishing (that was the lead in old pewter) and completely nickel-free. The 95% tin Pewter is the fourth most expensive metal in common use after platinum, gold and silver. Because this design is created in solid metal, the surface of your birdwatchers' bookmark will never flake like a silver plated bookmark. To clean, simply wash with warm soapy water. All our designs are made exclusively in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
