Fun with Precious Metal Clay (PMC)

I am always getting asked... What is Precious Metal Clay?????

Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is basically a clay-like substance that when fired in a kiln or with a torch becomes dense like metal. Though most people (like me) use the fine silver form, metal clay is also available in copper, bronze and 22K gold.

I love playing around with this clay. Making charms for earrings, necklaces, well.... just about anything. Brings me back to my days of pottery in high school. But now I get to mix it in with my love of creating jewels.

Above are a pair of earring I created using PMC.
