Silver clay has been developed to make silver jewelry at home without expensive equipment and machines and without expensive training. The clay contains 99.9% silver and can be treated as such after the firing process.
The product has been used worldwide but has its origin in Japan in 1990. There are two Japanese factories, each of which has launched its own brand. Precious Metal Clay (PMC) and Art Clay Silver (ACS). Aida is the factory of the Art Clay brand, which produces precious metals from ao. X-ray recovery is very active in Europe. PMC is used more in America and England.
Silver clay is made up of three elements that ensure that the silver is malleable. It is a simple recipe because it consists of microscopically fine pure silver powder (999), an organic binder and water. The binding agent is a natural product and has no chemical composition. This makes it safe to use at home.
The clay is already ready-made in the packaging, it is well packed and can be kept for longer than a year as long as the packaging is kept closed and cool. But we don't think you want to keep your clay that long. If all goes well, you want to get started right away.
Straight out of the package, the clay is flexible and malleable. These properties ensure that it can easily be given a shape or even structure. The silver powder has such a fine structure that a fingerprint is easily taken over by pressing the finger into the clay.
In addition to Art Clay Silver, AIDA has also developed gold clay.
Because the gold clay is also very expensive for us to keep in stock, it is therefore only available on order.`
Silver clay is a recycle product, the factory in Japan ensures that the precious material is recovered from, for example, medical, dental, printing, photography and development studios and the jewelry industry, such as X-rays, printed circuit boards, crowns and bridges.
They obtain this waste from manufacturing companies and recycle it into pure gold or silver (99.99%), platinum and palladium (more than 99.99%) by applying their sophisticated precious metal analysis and refinement skills.
