Pendant shaped by hand from bronze clay.<\/strong><\/a> The square olive colored zirconia i<\/strong><\/a>s heat-resistant and fired with the bronze clay. With a tube of bronze clay the pendant eye is made. A tube is easily made with a syringe with a tip of your choice<\/strong> <\/a>(Just spray the syringe with a little coolslip otherwise the clay will stick in the syringe) or if the tube has to be a little thicker with a pressure plate, also called snakeroller<\/a> <\/strong>called snakeroller. <\/p>\n

Make sure the zirconia is pressed well into the clay, below the surface of the clay. Due to the shrinkage of the clay, the little stone is pushed up a bit during firing. Therefore, if it is not pressed in far enough, it will rise too far above the pendant or even come off. <\/p>\n

There are types of bronze clay that can be fired with a hand torch<\/a> <\/strong>This requires more patience than firing silver clay. Silver clay needs about 2 minutes of annealing, bronze clay at least 10 minutes. <\/p>\n

Bronze clays suitable for torch firing are:<\/p>\n

Art Clay Bronze, <\/strong><\/a>
\nPrometheus regular bronze clay <\/a><\/strong>
\nPromethens Sunny bronze.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The other varieties can only be baked in a special oven <\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n
