Hi everyone, my name is Erika and I work with polymer clay primarily, but I recently discovered silver clay and was intrigued. My husband asked me to make him a wedding band since he lost his, but I want to make myself a matching one with gems. I would appreciate any help, advice, answers 🤞🏻 So now my questions are: - Which stones are generally safe to use with metal clay? - Have any of you tried using other stones/ gems/ glass, etc. aside from the approved list? - Can we use stones found at our craft stores? Some say cubic zirconias and glass gems, etc. Are those ok? - Where is a good and safe place to purchase gemstones from? Thank you and I hope to some day be of help to others as well.

@Jacquelin Pettifer I have tried twice to make a ring and my clay is not cooperating. First time I over conditioned and it got crumbly. The second time I didn’t condition as long and it still started to show cracks. I also notice that when I wrap a piece of clay around the mandrel, it doesn’t stay, so it’s constantly moving my piece and that’s where I kept messing up the design. I’m discouraged now
