About  Silver Clay

As a qualified silversmith, there was always an urge in me to push the boundaries and try new techniques.
When I discovered Silver Clay I realised that it could give me the freedom to make the sort of jewellery I only dreamed of...

 

Silver Clay is an amazing material to work with - it’s sustainable, versatile, and genuinely magical to use. Made from recycled silver particles combined with water and a natural, non‑toxic binder, it can be rolled, shaped, textured, moulded, stamped, or cut just like a soft clay.

Once the piece is fully dry, I fire it in a kiln. During firing, the binder burns away and the silver particles fuse together, transforming the clay into solid metal. The finished piece is 99.9% Fine Silver and can be hallmarked as such.

Not only is Silver Clay created from recycled silver, it’s also fabulously versatile and truly beautiful. Being 99.9% Fine Silver (Sterling Silver is only 92.5%) means each piece has a higher silver content, is less prone to tarnishing, and - when shaped by hand - becomes something even more precious.

So what is it?
