I am photographing my new fine silver pieces made of precious metal clay today. Check back soon to see them. "Fine" silver is 99.9% pure silver, as compared to sterling which is 92.5% silver; the added alloy being copper. Fine silver is very soft and subsequently hard to work with. However, using PMC and kiln and firing it, leaves you with a solid, strong piece of silver jewelry that will last forever.
Here, I made a mold from a small piece of bark from my yard. It is a lovely, earthy, small pendant. To the fine silver ring I added a green amethyst briolette; and finished the clasp with green labradorite.
I have lots of pieces to show you. Please check back!
Thank you,
Norah

I love that design. Great idea to use a bark.
