About my PMC Jewelry

The main silver components of my jewelry are made from a material called Precious Metal Clay (PMC). PMC is comprised of microscopic particles of fine silver suspended in an organic binder. It is called clay because it has the same attributes as potters clay. Once formed and dried it is fired in a kiln, the binder is burned off and the sintering process fuses the metal particles leaving pure Fine Silver .999FS. Additional materials used to complete my jewelry designs are fresh water pearls, semi-precious gem stones, sterling silver and leather.
