Is silver clay good for rigid geometric patterns/shapes?
Absolute novice here in jewelry making but I do have a lot of experience in hand building ceramic pieces, I figure using silver clay to make a ring with sharp angles and straight lines carved into the outside wouldn’t be too difficult with the tools I have.
Do corners and straight edges hold up well after torching silver clay? I notice a lot of silver clay jewelry is more amorphous/organic, and I’m worried any detail I add to a piece will melt slightly and throw off the whole vibe of it.
Also, any advice for making a ring? How big should a ring be in order for it to shrink to the correct size after torching? 2 sizes up? 3? Thanks again for the help
