What is Silver Clay Jewellery?

Silver clay is a manufactured material made from silver particles that are mixed with a non-toxic organic binder, which looks and feels like any ordinary sculpting or porcelain clay.

Making jewellery with this material is a brilliant starting point for beginners. To make gorgeous creations, simply grab a clay packet, mould it into your desired shape, and then fire using a hand torch or in one of our clay kilns. Then you will get a fine silver jewellery piece that can even be hallmarked!
