Precious Metal Clay

The New Alchemy

PMC is a revolutionary material that requires no jewelry or metalworking experience. PMC is for the person with absolutely no metalworking experience or for the veteran metal smith. It is a unique substance full of potential and surprisingly simple to use. Think alchemy.....

Created in Japan, PMC consists of molecular sized particles of pure metal (silver or gold), water and organic binders. The clay-like consistency allows infinite shaping and textural possibilities.

Play in clay, fire in the kiln and the result is a piece of fine silver (or gold) jewelry!

Barbara started working with PMC in 1997 and has found it to be a material that enables her to expand her jewelry design exponentially. She has created entire pieces with PMC, jewelry components, beads, and findings.
