Precious Metal Clay  
Champleve Glass Pendant

    PMC is .999 pure silver which has
been suspended in clay. I make a pattern
 in the clay and then fire it. The organic
 material burns away leaving my design captured in pure silver. I paint each
pendant with powdered silica using
 a French enamleling tequnique
 called Champleve. I fire the pendant
 again which hardens the silica into glass.
Enameling is a wonderful way
 to bring
color into jewelry, but it
 is a intricate process that not many
 jewelers do anymore.

    Joining the very new PMC with
 very old enameling techniques
 is exciting to me. Please enjoy this unique, handmade peice of art.
