PMC [Precious Metal Clay] is a unique form of silver, gold, bronze, or copper that allows jewelry designers to form and sculpt metal by hand.  ​

Initially soft and pliable – just like clay used for pottery – PMC can be rolled; molded; textured with stamps or other materials, including natural materials like leaves; shaped into abstract forms by “slumping” the clay over an armature; or carved when it is dried leather-hard.  

The very fine particles of precious metal are mixed with water and an organic binder to produce the metal clay. ​ After the piece is shaped, it is dried to a leather-hard state, whereupon it can be sanded smooth, or carved and refined before being fired in a small jeweler’s kiln at high temperatures [1100°F-1675°F] – or with some types of PMC, fired with a small torch for several minutes.

The result is a one-of-a-kind fine silver, sterling silver, gold, bronze, or copper piece of jewelry. ​

Each unique piece of Mozelle Fine Jewelry made from PMC is designed and handcrafted in my Maine island studio.​
