What is PMC?
Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is a pliable material with a consistency similar to modelling clay, consisting of microscopic particles of pure silver or gold suspended in an organic binder. The material can be pushed into moulds or handformed and patterned as desired, and certain gemstones can be set directly into the wet clay. When fired at temperatures between 6oo° and 9oo° Celsius for anything from 10 minutes to two hours, depending on the type of PMC used, the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse to form solid pure metal that can be hallmarked as such (.999).


What gemstones can be used?
Only a handful of natural gemstones can withstand the required temperatures and can be set directly into the clay. Other stones have to be set with conventional methods, ie. prong or bezel settings. When making samples, I sometimes use lab-created gemstones instead of natural ones, as they are cheaper, and it is not quite as heart-breaking when a piece doesn't turn out the way imagined. All made to order pieces have natural gemstones, unless stated otherwise (ie. Cubic Zirconia).


How can I order/pay for a piece?
Simply use the contact form to order, stating which piece you wish to purchase, as well as any additions or what size if applicable. Also let me know where you need the order to be shipped, so I can work out the shipping charges.
I accept payment directly via PayPal, as well as Credit Card (through PayPal's secure server).
