Here I have gathered some of my most “precious” metal clay jewelry pieces I’ve made! ;) I love to be inspired by others metal clay jewelry, there is so much to see and getting new ideas for my own jewelry pieces.

When making silver jewelry components, the best clay to use is PMC 3 (precious metal clay). Some people are using art clay silver, but since PMC 3 is stronger than art clay I use precious metal clay in all my jewellry.

Precious Metal Clay Necklaces

The dog tag necklace has a very simple design really. I’ve just added a ball chain and a jump ring to it. A huge advantage of a simple jewelry design is the versatility, being able to use it all the time if you want. :)

The other necklace is a mens metal clay jewelry which I gave to my husband. ;) I made it with a rough surface which gives that old feel about it.

Precious metal clay jewelry is fantastic that way, you can design the surface just the way you like. Make it shiny as a mirror, or with a pattern, or why not naturally rough like this one… Endless possibilities.

Precious Metal Clay Earrings

Earrings making is so much fun too! The best way to get a pair of earring pendants to have the same shape is to sand them back to back, like a sandwich. :) That’s to say in the bone dry state before firing. Making faux enamel on precious metal clay earrings or jewelry.
