What's Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is a versatile, oven-baked material, which can be molded into various shapes and colors. It’s soft and pliable before baking, allowing for easy manipulation into intricate patterns, textures, and designs. After baking, it hardens into a durable, lightweight material that’s perfect for jewelry-making.
When used in jewelry, polymer clay offers endless creative possibilities. Its lightweight nature makes it comfortable to wear, while its ability to hold fine details allows for the creation of unique, vibrant pieces like earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Polymer clay also allows artists to experiment with a wide range of colors and textures, including marbled, translucent, and metallic effects, resulting in one-of-a-kind designs that are both visually striking and fun.
Tay and Clay specializes in creating jewelry with hypoallergenic findings, using materials like stainless steel, gold-plated, and silver-plated components. These hypoallergenic metals ensure that the jewelry is gentle on the skin, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or metal allergies. By combining polymer clay with high-quality findings, Tay and Clay offers durable, lightweight, and beautifully crafted pieces that are both comfortable to wear and safe for all.
