Silver clay setting for opalized petrified wood

This is how I construct a fine silver setting. Calculations are made before hand for shrinkage, prongs are built of silver clay and securely attached, and the stone is set afterward as with any traditional prong setting. #silverclay #makingjewelry #silverjewelry #jewelryprocess

That is sooo cool. I have a shark tooth, and this would be a dope way to display it

This is the first time I've seen a more professional (higher techniques) use of silver clay, very neat

The asymmetric prongs and the three prongs at the bottom make an illusion of tree branches and a tree trunk. Beautiful choice for a setting for opalized wood

I've tried metal clays in my kiln. You're still doing vodoo to me. Salute!

Beautiful ❤. I would like to see more of the "prong process" in which you not only make and attach them, but bend, blend, trim, and "polish" the settings....

This is my first time seeing and hearing about silver setting clay. Pretty cool

I watched this before and I couldn't grasp what I was seeing but I was amazed. Now that I have seen more of your work and your explanation of the material I'm even more amazed.

I love metal clays!! I'm surprised not a lot of people know about it still 😁

I have to admit; this turned out way nicer than I anticipated and I would definitely wear it. Good job❤❤❤

I had no idea Silver Clay existed, that's GORGEOUS

[peepla]

Nicely done! Even remembered it shrinks 3 to 5% when fired and you accounted for that.
