The revolution in jewelry making is here!

With just a few basic skills and very little equipment, you can quickly and easily create beautiful, intricate pieces of pure silver jewelry using metal clay—the new material that has taken the craft world by storm.

• Metal clay is worked just like modeling clay and can be molded, folded, shaped, cut, woven or carved to produce an endless range of forms and effects
• There is no need for soldering or sawing, and you don't even need a kiln—the new low-fire type of metal clay can be fired on a gas stove or with a blowtorch, burning away its binder to leave a solid piece of silver that can be hallmarked
• Set with stones or decorate with enamel effects; oxidize to produce multicolor shades; create wonderful textures using impressions; or engrave to personalize your jewelry
• Clear step-by-step photographs demonstrate all the techniques you will need, and you'll find more than 20 original pieces of fine silver jewelry to create
