Triple Layered Flower Charm / Pendant with Lab Yellow Sapphire

Triple Layered Flower Charm / Pendant with Lab Yellow Sapphire
My previous post described a two layer flower charm created with precious metal clay. After making the two layer flower it occurred to me that the flower would look better with a third layer add ed to the flower. this charm is created with three flower cutouts that have been formed over different sized forms until dry and then joined. A 2mm yellow sapphire forms the center of the flower.

Fine Silver & Lavender Cubic Zirconia Flower Charm

Small Flower Charm / Pendant with Lavender Cubic Zirconia


One of the nice things about Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is the ability to form it while its in its wet state. Once the clay dries, it maintains its form. To make this charm, the wet clay is cut and then formed over a circular form. Once dry, the two pieces are joined and then the clay is carved to hold the cubic zirconia.
