Unparalleled Craftsmanship in Fine Pewter
Hand-cast from premium fine pewter, this ornament embodies the same relentless heart that fuels every IU triumph. Pewter’s tarnish-resistant, silver-like brilliance keeps your Hoosier pride gleaming for generations. Each piece is precision-molded to showcase vivid details on the front side.
- Front Side: The legendary Interlocking IU stands bold in relief, framed by the iconic Trident. The university’s founding year (1820) is subtly engraved below, encircled by the proud “Go IU” chant and delicate limestone quarry accents, nodding to Bloomington’s famous stone and the heartbeat of the Jordan Avenue.
Measuring approximately 3 inches in diameter and weighing under 2 ounces, this ornament balances bold presence with lightweight versatility. Over time, pewter develops a soft natural patina, adding vintage Bloomington character that enhances the crisp, fearless details.
