Art Clay set, 40 gram high-quality silver clay made from recycled silver for creating jewelry and creative designs in fine silver (.999).

Art Clay Silver Starter Set – Make Your Own Real Silver Jewelry

With this extensive silver clay set you can immediately start creating unique jewelry made from real silver. The set is suitable for both beginners and advanced users and includes everything you need to get creative with silver clay, paste, and syringe type paste.

During firing, the binders burn away, leaving pure fine silver (.999). This allows you to create handmade jewelry with a professional finish.

The combination of silver clay, silver clay paste, and syringe paste makes this set ideal for creating fine details, decorations, textures, and three-dimensional designs. The included heat-resistant zirconia stones add extra sparkle to your jewelry designs.

This value set is also 5% more affordable than purchasing the products separately.

What can you make with this set?

With this set you can create rings, pendants, earrings, charms, and other small jewelry pieces. The 20 grams of silver clay is enough for multiple smaller designs or for example 2 to 3 rings and one or more larger pendants.

The paste and syringe paste can be used for fine decorations, reliefs, patterns, and attaching components together. The included syringe tips make it easy to create thin lines and decorative details.

After drying, the silver clay can be fired on a gas stove, with a gas torch, or in a special kiln. After firing, the jewelry can be sanded, brushed, and polished to a high shine.

The regular silver clay has a shrinkage of approximately 9–10% during firing. The clay can be fired from 650°C, which means it can also be fired with a gas torch or on a gas stove. The ideal firing temperature is between 800°C and 900°C.

Why choose silver clay?

Silver clay combines creativity with the value of real silver. You work freely and intuitively, just like with regular clay, but the final result is a durable silver jewelry piece that will remain beautiful for years. This makes silver clay popular for personal jewelry, memorial jewelry, and unique handmade designs.

The clay can be easily worked with shaping tools and materials suitable for different types of clay. Other tools may also be useful, but ensure that there is no rust present, as this can cause stains on the silver. The silver clay can be used directly from the packaging. If the clay sticks to your hands, you can use a small amount of olive oil on your hands, work mat, and tools. If the clay is too dry, you can add a little distilled water using a damp finger and knead it through the clay, for example, using plastic wrap. Be sure that any leftover clay doesn’t dry out while you work.

Drying Phase

The clay is light gray in color. The drying time varies depending on the method:

Air-dried: 24 hours for 10g of clay at 1mm thickness.
With a hairdryer: About 20 minutes.
In a household oven: 10 minutes at 100°C.

Check dryness with a mirror: place the warm item on a mirror. If steam appears, the clay is still not dry.

After drying, the clay has the hardness of plaster. You can attach or repair parts by making paste from leftover clay. The dry clay can be engraved and worked on with a sharp tool. Be aware of a shrinkage of about 9-10%, especially with rings, which will shrink by approximately 4-5 Japanese ring sizes (other sizes can be found in the ring size table). Sanding and filing are easier in the dry phase because the silver is harder after firing.

Firing Phase

The Art Clay Silver Regular clay can be fired uncovered in a special kiln. Place the clay directly on a fiberboard or mesh in a preheated oven. For additional support, you can use fiber cloth or fiber paper, or granules to support delicate jewelry. Small zirconia (up to 6mm) can be placed directly in the hot oven. When in doubt, it is advisable to place the clay in a cold kiln and then gradually allow it to cool to room temperature. Art Clay Silver Regular can also be fired on a special mesh on a gas stove or with a micro-torch. See our instructional videos for more details. For the use of glass, ceramics, pottery, or porcelain, you need to use a cold oven and a custom firing curve. Gold foil or gold paste can also be used to add 22k gold accents.

Finishing Phase

After firing, the clay has a white color, which is the result of the crystalline structure of fine silver. Use a polishing brush to make the surface a nice matte silver finish. For further finishing, you can use polishing sponges and an agate pen or polishing needle. For convenience, sanding discs with a Dremel are very suitable. You can finish the silver to a high gloss with polishing paste. Art Clay Silver Regular has a beautiful, bright silver color.
