Basically it is the mix of metals that determine the type. Almost all of our "Metal Alloy" beads are a zinc based metal. This is the most common type of economical metal alloy mix for durability and style. One common drawback to metal alloy is the common practice of mixing potentially hazardous and toxic metal alloys into the mix. We use a supplier that lab tests and guarantees all of our metal alloy beads to be free from lead, nickel and cadmium, it costs us a little more, but we sleep better at night. Pewter beads are made using a very specific and monitored mix of metal alloys, that when mixed together form "Pewter" as we know it. Pewter is the next step up in quality and typically costs a little more than metal alloy.
