Products
Below is a complete list of all the branded ranges and collections of pewter & silver jewellery and giftware that Alchemy produce. These pages are for trade customers, members of the public wishing to buy an Alchemy product should click here to find a retailer.
 Alchemy1977 / Alchemy Gothic
Alchemy's flagship, and most famous brand and product collection is its continually developing line of Alchemy's pewter, alternative fashion jewelry, pewter giftware and genre-defining designer lifestyle products known as Alchemy1977. For many years this was branded as Alchemy Gothic, which persistently remains its best known monica and a significant registered trade mark, though now this would rather misrepresent the range's much wider and more varied styling. Alchemy Gothic now refers more specifically to Alchemy's prolific and definitive development in 'gothic', fantasy, supernatural, legendary and historical artwork and illustration. Previous to this and going back to around 1980, the Alchemy pewter jewellery collection was known as Alchemy Metal-Wear. These metamorphosing brand name variations have, of course, been hinting at the history of Alchemy and the brand's various evolutionary stages since its original conception in 1977.
The Alchemy1977 product range is now a vast and extremely varied collection of uniquely imaginative, 'alternative', or 'eccentric' jewellery, personal and fashion accessories and lifestyle products, and which fill a stylish 'coffee table', magazine-type colour catalogue, published once a year, every September followed by its Spring supplement of new additions each February. The catalogue is available to the public from Alchemy stockists or, directly from Alchemy by mail-order by completing this form. Trade, Distribution and Wholesale customers will receive a complete trade set of Alchemy's printed catalogues once an account has been opened.

 AlchemyPOKER (officially licensed band merch)
AlchemyPOKER was the first of their product ranges to be created and effectively, the one that launched Alchemy, in 1977 amidst the punk revolution. This began with a small and very primitive collection of hand-crafted (made by punks!), lead-based (long-since outlawed), generic punk 'anti-jewellery', (Dustbin Lid, Toilet Seat, 'Spit', etc), including a few bootleg band pieces such as Sex Pistols, Motorhead and Grilshcool pins. This soon developed into officially commissioned metal concert merchandise for bands such as Rainbow and Whitesnake and leading on to Guns 'n Roses and Metallica, etc at the height of metal's supremacy in the 80's. Since then, AlchemyPOKER has designed and produced its unique range of officially licensed merchandise, which includes pendants and necklaces, chokers, thongs, Cuban chains, dog tags, rings, pins, wallet chains, bracelets and wristbands, buckles, web belts, utility belts, mobile / cell phone charms, trigger tags and key rings, for most of the significant bands in the music scene.

 Urban & Rock n’ Roll - Alchemy UL13 accessories
Alchemy UL13 is a brand new range of men's accessories, consisting of pendants, chokers, dog tags, bracelets and wristbands, rings, wallet chains, belts and buckles. The theme of this collection however, is thoroughly male and based on iconic, retro and tattoo imagery such as 1940's and 1950's pin-up girls, poker cards, dice and gambling, tribal, dragons, blades and the like, but with a distinct Alchemy flavor and quality. UL13 appeals to discerning bikers and skate-boarders, festival goers and rock music fans from traditional rock 'n roll to hardcore metal and garage punk. This jewelry collection has come about following the very highly successful UL13 series of artwork and graphics from Alchemy, resulting in many great licensed products from metal signs to vintage shorts and urban clothing.

Some of the most prestigious awards and presentations have recently been designed and produced by Alchemy, in England. Alchemy has manufactured awards for many big names – Bradford and Bingley, Cosmopolitan, Virgin, Monty Python, 3663, the Nigerian Government, etc, to name but a few! These awards are usually, (though not always), predominantly made of fine English pewter, often with the addition of a glass, marble or other contrasting material addition. The awards have either been cast in English pewter, in Leicester, or have been hand-fashioned from sheet pewter in our Sheffield factory, and are often complimented by other materials such as crystal, glass, enamels, gold plating, etc..

This Alchemy Gothic/1977 jewellery and accompanying gothic giftware can be found in the most unlikely surroundings, with some of our chalices and goblets even being used on a regular basis in Churches!
All we need to produce the layouts for you is an idea of the product you would like us to design; for example - pendant, key ring, goblet, pin badge etc.
We will then require a simple logo and the Alchemy artists will get started. We can usually turn around design ideas within 48 hours and will come back to you with product proposal visuals and cost estimates to suit your deadline.
Once the client has approved the layout supplied by the Alchemy designers we would move to the sample. A sample key ring for example would usually take 3 – 5 days. We would manufacture the sample and send out different samples in varying finishes.
As soon as the sample is approved we will manufacture the approved key ring. 1000 key rings would take between 7 – 10 working days.
Lets get started!
Email me, Marnie, - Commissions and Sales Manager - at: marnie@alchemygroup.com . I would be very happy to discuss any queries or ideas you might have.
