The other night I took a jewelry class on PMC (precious metal clay). PMC is made of silver or gold finest powder form, water and a non-toxic binder that has a clay, putty-like consistency. So you can form it like clay and create whatever you want, put textures in it, initials, etc. When fired (oh yeah I got to play with a butane torch!) to the right temperature, the water and binder singe and burn-off as the metal fuses together. Leaving your creation in 99.9% pure silver or gold with the original shape, textures and details intact. This is different from sterling silver which is an alloy (combo) of silver and copper. That is why you see .925 stamped on that jewelry and .999 on fine silver. Sterling being mixed with copper is why it tarnishes whereas fine silver will not!
So I am so excited about this stuff because I can create my own charms, pendents, rings, etc.! This is exactly what I have been looking for and have already made some things.
I love small, understated, simple jewelry. I like it when a piece can be worn everyday and goes with just about anything. I also like for it to have a little meaning behind it. If you care, these are some of my jewelry inspirations...love Rebecca Lankford, Jennifer Fisher, Me and Ro, Adina, and Lena Wald. While I love their pieces they aren't exactly what I would call affordable, except for special occasions maybe... So I want to make my stuff affordable, but still look great. My next goal is to learn how to set stones in the PMC which is possible, just may have to invest in a small kiln.
Sorry for the long ramble...here are some things I have made. All of the charms are small, about half an inch long or less. I do any shape, larger sizes, one initial or a whole monogram or name, add stone dangles, you can design your own for that matter! 24k gold can be done as well, obviously the price will go up a good bit! Can you tell I am excited about this stuff???

Courtney- You can pick up the basic signs anywhere. I bet if you ask, several people could show you. Or, you could find them online.
I learned from Danielle.
how pretty. what great baby gifts!
Thanks for your comment! I like your necklaces. Do you live in Nashville? I used to teach several jewelry making classes at a couple of places here in town, and I wondered if you had taken your class at one of them. Keep up the good work! Oh, and your baby is adorable!
