Jewelry made from precious metal clay would make an exciting and unique holiday gift this season! Without further ado, my Top Ten jewelry picks!

Precious metal clay contains microscopic precious metal particles and is dried
and fired to create solid, dense beads, pendants, earrings, rings and
more! Metal Clay artists on Etsy can be found by searching “PMC“, “Metal Clay” or even “Fine Silver” (since the metal used in most of these pieces is fine silver).
Ring by SilverGarden. Find more leaf rings.
Necklace by WearableByDesign. Find more steampunk jewelry.
Necklace by kaleprimitifs. Find more pearl and silver necklaces.
Earrings by LoraHart. Find more dangling earrings.
Studs by NBDesigns. Find more hedgehog inspired items.

Earrings by BirdlandCreations. Find more birdy earrings.
Necklace by cherrycreek. Find more customizable pendants.

risabeads says:
PMC is sooooo much fun to work with. When it's in it's raw form it's got an unexpected weight to it. It's fun to work with and really amazes me the way it shrinks. It still boggles my mind that what seems like clay goes to pure silver in the kiln.
