What is PMC3?


PMC -Precious Metal Clay

Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is a revolutionary material in the jewelry world developed by Mitsubishi Materials in the early 1990's. The ingredients of PMC are micro-particles of pure silver or pure gold suspended in binder they call "clay." The binder consists of water and organic plant-based materials which feels like a soft clay to the touch. The binder or "clay" is inert and non-toxic in both its raw and fired form.

This malleable metal bearing material is a completely unique new medium to the jewelry world. It can be sculpted, pushed, pulled, carved, trailed, shaped with any variety of techniques and treated after firing with traditional fabrication and stone setting techniques.

贵金属黏土(PMC)

早在1990年,日本三菱研发了首饰界革命材料贵金属黏土(PMC). 利用奈米科技将主要成分纯银粉或纯金粉+水+ 有机接着剂结合成为贵金属黏土.

PMC是一个在首饰界完全独特的新媒介. 技术上它可以雕刻.推挤,拉扯,朔造等多发展,所以也被称为新金工.
