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.

I honestly can’t believe this… thank you all so much for joining 🧡 I thought I’d introduce myself to everyone new here. Hi, I’m Jac! I’ve been making jewellery for over 10 years, with the last 5+ years heavily focused on Metal Clay. I now teach people how to create jewellery using Silver Clay. it’s the most magical material! ✨ I love helping people discover a passion for jewellery making and Silver Clay is such a beginner-friendly way to start creating beautiful silver pieces without needing loads of tools or experience. Let me know in the comments, What would you like to learn? ✨ Much love, Jac xx

Hi @Jacquelin Pettifer I have two questions because I was discussing this with my jewellery friend yesterday: 1. She is adding 4 sizes to the ring bands where else I am adding only 2-3. How many sizes do you add? 2. I am normally firing rings for three minutes after the binder fires and the peachy glow appears, she is firing for 7 minutes. We both seem to have different approaches 😀Thank you!!

This month, we’re focusing on one of the most important parts of jewellery making… POLISHING ✨ We’ll be covering: • Different polishing methods • Hand polishing vs rotary tools • How to get a high shine finish • Adding depth with patina 🧡🧡🧡
