Gold Embossed Earrings (SOLD)
Handcrafted Disc Cut Earrings with pretty embossed floral details and Sapphire Swarovski Crystals.
The earrings are hanging on handmade by me, 14 k Gold Filled ear wires.
999 Fine Silver Pendant and Earrings designed and handcrafted by me. This is my first time ever, creating anything from the PMC (Precious Metal Clay) compound.
The Precious Metal Clay was developed by scientists working at the Mitsubishi Materials Special Products division in Sanda, Japan. After years of experimentation the first patents were awarded in the early 1990s with many additional materials joining the family of ...products. The principle ingredient of PMC is gold or silver, reduced to tiny flakes smaller than 20 microns in size. As a point of reference, it would take as many as 25 of these particles clumped together to equal a grain of salt.

The other ingredients in PMC are water and an organic (naturally occuring) binder. After firing, the water and binder have completely burned away so what remains can be hallmarked as .999 silver or gold.Dried out or unwanted objects can be refined just like conventional precious metal.
Now, these pictures are rough and not edited the way one should when presenting to clients, but I need more experience creating with this type of precious metal before I take credit for work that I am just learning as a beginner in this medium.
I did wear the set last week however, and I received many compliments. I think that helps to motivate and encourage an artist to push on ahead, and even when I make mistakes, it seems to be forgiven just because I'm the designer here. lol
