Beautiful Jewellery!

Friday, March 23rd, 2012

As promised, more pictures of amazing work just in. These photos are of Liz McDonald’s PMC Artisan jewellery. What does PMC stand for, you may ask. Well, it stands for Precious (and not in the Gollum sort of way) Metal Clay. In its raw state it can be molded into organic shapes, fired in a kiln where all organic material is burned off and you are left with a 99.99% pure silver piece of jewellery. PMC jewellery does not tarnish, and anyone with a base metal sensitivity will be able to wear these beautiful pieces. These will be on the website for purchase shortly…….maybe even this afternoon :D
