I was asked to create some simple jewellery based on a precious family heirloom – a seal ring. Precious metal clay (PMC) seemed the ideal medium and I know it has been used by others to record children’s fingerprints amongst many other uses. So I trialled the idea with silver Fimo ®.
This suggested that PMC would work well and indeed it did! Here are three examples.
The pendants/ charms are about 15mm high and are fully UK hallmarked as 999 fine silver. The ring is sterling, but is a permitted exemption. The cufflinks are marked as sterling silver because of the cufflink fittings, though the plates are 999. Elliot -Fitzpatrick did the gold plating for me.
