About Precious Metal Clay (PMC)
Fine Silver Art Jewelry
PMC, which stands for precious metal clay, is a wonderful clay like material in the jewelry world developed by Mitsubishi Materials in the early 1990's. The ingredients of PMC are micro-particles of pure silver or pure gold suspended in "clay" consisting of water and organic naturally occurring plant-based binder. The binder or clay is non-toxic in both its raw and fired form and completely evaporates in the firing process. After firing additional layers and parts such as stones can be added to the piece, which is then re-fired.
This flexible metal bearing clay material can be sculpted, pushed, pulled, carved, and shaped with many different techniques. One of the great things about using Precious Metal Clay is the ability to take organic objects from nature and turn them into a piece of wearable art jewelry!
