Some Interesting Facts About Silver Metal Clay

If you've never heard of Silver Metal Clay, here are some interesting facts that may pique your interest:

  1. Fine Silver Clay, a fascinating material, was invented in the 1990s in Japan and is composed of fine silver particles combined with an organic binder that allows for versatile crafting.

  2. The Silver Clay can be easily rolled out like putty, making it a delight to work with as it can be shaped and cut into various forms with relative ease.

  3. You can beautifully texture Silver Clay using texture plates or silicone moulds, and even use common items such as lace, textured wallpaper, leaves and shells to add texture.

  4. Your Silver Clay creation can be easily personalized with lettering, stamps, or etching techniques to create truly original designs.

  5. Fire-able gemstones can be added to the silver clay, allowing for even more creativity and individuality in your jewellery pieces.

  6. Working with Silver Clay is often easier than shaping sheet silver metal because it is malleable and significantly gentler on the hands than traditional silversmithing methods.

  7. Once the silver clay has been textured to your satisfaction, we use torch firing to burn away the organic binder, resulting in a stunning 999 Fine Silver piece of jewellery – which is purer than the commonly known 975 Sterling Silver.
