Well, this is one of my new favorite pieces! I found it the other day and was so excited. As you can see, it features a large Virgo motif in pewter. I believe this piece is from the 1970s. It was made by Cathedral Art Metal which is located in none other than Providence, Rhode Island. They have been in operation since 1920 and still produce inspirational giftware and jewelry today. Cathedral Art metal currently creates meticulously handcrafted items in their 93,000 square foot facility employing in-house designers, model makers, and sculptors.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on http://www.ebay.com/ is coming soon.

I was recently at a antique/flea market in Syracuse. I found Aquarius Pewter Cathedral pendant with chain for $5.00! I love pewter so just bought it. Do you think I should shine it up or leave as is.
