SOMETHING NEW!! Fine Silver / Precious Metal Clay – I love working in this medium!
Precious metal clay consists of microscopic particles of silver or gold suspended in an organic binder. This creates a material with a consistency like modeling clay. The clay is worked with your fingers and tools to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. When the clay is fired in a kiln or by torch, the organic binder burns away and the metal particles fuse to form solid precious metal 99.9% pure.
Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metal (usually copper).
All of my items are handcrafted. I use 14k gold-filled wire or sterling silver wire on almost all of my pieces (except the half bangles which are silverplate and goldplate to keep the price down). Please see FAQ for an explanation of gold-filled wire. If an item is of another metal, it will be noted in the description.
About the Artist: I absolutely love making jewelry. I started with wire wrapping and beadwork and now have found my way to precious metal clay and metalsmithing. The idea of creating unique metal jewelry using a torch is fascinating to me. Enjoy my website and email me if you have any questions. Thanks, Jay.
