About Us Alchemy belongs to the time honoured body of master craftsman, 'The Worshipful Company of Pewterers', who were granted a Royal Charter in 1474 by King Edward IV for the legal manufacture of pewterware throughout England. Many of these ancient pewter-smithing skills are still among the methods utilised today by Alchemy to create their highest quality, rich collection of fine English Pewter drinking vessels and giftware. Alchemy is a member of British Pewter Craftsman, as well as the BJGF in the UK, the BPMA in the UK and the PPAI in the USA

Credit Card - Security / Signature Digits For Visa, Mastercard & Maestro, Security/Signature Digits (also known as ‘CVV2’ in the credit card industry) are the number printed on the back of your credit/debit card on the paper of the signature strip. There are between three and ten digits. We only require the last three. Credit card companies have introduced this system to provide greater levels of security to protect the customer. The signature digits are separate from the embossed numbers (raised numbers on the front of the card) and from those contained in the magnetic strip (black strip above the signature strip). This means that you must have the physical card to know the signature digits. Mastercard and Visa will not authorise card payments made via the Internet without them. If you have an American Express Card, then instead of the above, please enter the four digit security code you will find on the front of the card above the main card number.
