Thread: Alternative to PMC silver

  1. #1

    Default Alternative to PMC silver

    Hi everyone,
    I'm hoping someone can help me. I use PMC+ Silver to make fingerprint pendants, however a customer has approached me asking me to make one but she is allergic to Silver. She has asked if I could make a platinum or white gold one. Is there anything else I could use?
    Many thanks,
    Julie

    a soft wax and then have it cast.....she may want to sit down for the price though
    or is she allergic to bronze or copper?
    Or maybe you could do a very thin print and encase it in resin or similar?
    Or have the silver Rhodium plated (letting her know she'd have to re-plate it regularly)

    Does it have to be silver in colour? The obvious precious metal alternative would be 22ct PMC Precious Metal Clay 22ct Gold - 3g, - Cooksongold.com

    You'd need two packs of the gold clay (great idea)
