Karoz Fine Silver
One of a kind handcrafted jewelry!
Welcome!
Explore and see my creations in silver past and
present. Some of the pieces are embellished with gold and other media. I
use a product called Precious Metal Clay or PMC. The clay can contain
pure silver or pure gold. The precious metals in the clay are microscopic
in size and are bound together with an organic binder and water. It is
worked the same as ceramic clays. It can be sculpted, carved, extruded,
added to ceramics or glass. When dried it is fired in a kiln.
During firing the binder burns away and the product that is left is .999 pure
silver (fine silver) or 24k gold.
I am certified PMC artisan and teach lessons on its use. If this peeks your interest and you would like to know more let me know. My email address is karoa2014@att.net
I look forward to hearing from you.
2009 First place winner in the PMC catagory of the Saul Bell Award !
