Four fine (99.9%) silver rings sculpted from PMC (Art Clay Silver) and set with gems. From left to right: Large silver ring set with 2mm ruby for 70cm dolls; small silver ring set with 2mm pink sapphire for 60cm girl dolls; medium silver ring set with 2mm African amethyst; medium silver ring set with 2mm simulated (cubic zirconia) tanzanite.

To give you an idea of how tiny these rings are, the largest ring has an internal diameter of only 7mm.

Those rings look amazing. I had no idea that there is such kind of crafting material with silver.

I am currently working with wire wrapping techniques to get some decent unique jewelry (and it's a pain since I am new to it). But this opens up some additional ideas how to combine those two materials.

PMC has been around for only a few years really; you can get gold PMC too, but that needs a kiln to sinter the finished item, whereas silver PMC can be sintered over a gas hob or with a small blowtorch, which makes it easier to work with. It's perfect for working on something as tiny as a ring for a doll, but also good for making larger, intricate, unique pieces as well.

I found some european and german suppliers for PMC products. Now I have to get a good kiln, that also can work with copper and bronze :-)
Thank you again for hopping by my site for the favorite, otherwise I would have never learned about this :-)

My pleasure! It's all the fault of ~emmav really; she started writing a DA fic that hooked me in and prompted me to go looking for more Anders art. :D

Wow, you're so talented! Haha- sorry for stalking your deviant art like this, but I am quite impressed that you can make jewelry, clothes, and face ups as well as write such good fan fiction! I hope to be as skilled as you some day, and get a BJD of my own to cherish as well. :)

I have a surfeit of creative energy that needs to be poured into as many different outlets as possible I think, to minimise the risk of hitting a block - otherwise I would probably go mad. Unless, of course, you consider the possibility that I might be mad already. ;)

Nice! I'm working on MSD size. This stuff is so excellent to work with. Do you find you get a lot of wastage tho?

Nope; quite the reverse in fact. There's less wastage than when I'm working with silver conventionally. :)
