Silver Metal Clay Earrings

Silver Metal Clay is a revolutionary new medium from Japan, which allows you to create 99.9% pure silver jewellery.   It consists of exceedingly small particles of silver mixed with an organic binder and water. The metal clay can be moulded, textured, carved, and sculpted; it is then fired with a torch or fired in a kiln to transform it into silver.
