Understanding Polymer Clay

The term “polymer clay” is commonly used in the world of art and handmade jewelry to describe a material that can be shaped and baked like clay. However, it’s quite different from natural clay.

Polymer clay is made from a combination of plastic-based polymers and other compounds that give it flexibility and the ability to hold its shape once fully cured. The main ingredient is Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), which hardens into a durable form when baked properly.

There are many brands of polymer clay available on the market. At our studio, we work with high-quality brands such as Sculpey Premo and Soufflé, Cernit, and Kato—trusted by artists worldwide for their strength, flexibility, and safe use. Most of these clays are odorless during crafting and safe to wear once baked and fully cured.

Why Choose Polymer Clay Jewelry?

• Lightweight & Comfortable
  Polymer clay is incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for everyday wear. Even bold or oversized pieces won’t feel heavy or uncomfortable.

• Durable & Long-Lasting
  When baked at the right temperature, polymer clay becomes strong and durable. It can withstand gentle pressure and impact, making it suitable for long-term use.
  (However, it’s best to avoid bending, dropping, or applying excessive force, as this can cause breakage.)

• Easy to Care For
  To clean, simply wipe gently with a soft cloth. Store in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or UV light, which may cause colors to fade over time.
  Also avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as alcohol, perfume, hairspray, or cleaning agents, as they may damage the surface or affect the color of the piece.
