Heritage & History
TierraCast was founded in Santa Rosa, California in 1978 to serve the jewelry-making community with high-quality pewter components cast domestically. While most jewelry findings were — and still are — imported from overseas manufacturers, TierraCast built a reputation for American-made components that offered superior quality in material, plating, and dimensional consistency.
Over 45 years, TierraCast has become the standard reference in American jewelry-making supply for high-quality pewter charms, beads, clasps, and findings. Craft stores, jewelry supply houses, and independent designers rely on TierraCast for consistent quality that imported components cannot match. The Santa Rosa facility employs specialized casting and plating technicians who have developed mastery of the production processes over long careers.
Made in Santa Rosa, California
TierraCast casts all jewelry components at their Santa Rosa, California facility using culinary-grade lead-free, cadmium-free pewter — a material specification that exceeds jewelry safety standards in most markets. The culinary-grade designation means the metal meets food contact safety standards, ensuring it is safe for use in jewelry that will touch skin for extended periods.
The casting process produces precise reproductions of TierraCast's extensive catalog: Om and lotus charms for yoga-themed jewelry, letter beads for initial designs, nature-inspired hummingbirds and butterflies, Bali-style spacer beads, and bezel frames for stone-setting. Each component is plated in 24k gold, fine silver, copper, or antiqued finishes to TierraCast's specifications. The 100% Made in USA production means quality control at every step, from alloy composition to final plating inspection.
