What Metals Are Used To Make Chess Sets?

• Pewter: With its soft, malleable nature, pewter allows for intricate detailing on chess pieces, creating truly unique and artful designs.

• Nickel: For those desiring a sleek, modern appearance, nickel's silvery-white luster provides a contemporary twist to traditional chess designs.
• Steel: Renowned for its strength and durability, steel chess pieces offer a contemporary look combined with a weighty, substantial feel in the hand.
