A little about metal clay: Micro-filaments of metal combine with a binder and water to become metal clay. The designer forms the clay into a design and fires it in a hot kiln. During the firing process binder burns away. The micro-filaments of metal fuse to become a solid metal so the polished pieces become necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings.
A little about the silver colored beads: The beads, handmade in Nigeria in the late 20th century are a mixture of metals readily available at the time of production. They were formed using the lost wax method.
