A ladybug, a branch of a rose, a piece of income: all these materials can be eternalize in a silver jewelry through the use of Art Clay Silver. The Art Clay Silver, a body composed of microscopic grains of pure silver which has the consistency of clay, can be diluted into a paste and applied to organic materials such as leaves and tissues. After drying, these parts are burned - the stove burner or oven to high temperature - and the organic material is consumed completely, leaving behind his impression immortalized in silver.The result is jewelry faithful to the objects that "inspired" - light and delicate, ideal to be applied in earrings and pendants.
