Discover the luxurious Art Clay Gold K22 A-0123 (3g), a premium water-based 22K gold clay designed for professional jewelry making and intricate metal clay crafts. This high-purity precious metal clay, containing 95% K22 gold alloy (91.7% gold and 8.3% silver before firing), transforms into 100% 22K gold after kiln firing, offering artisans the ability to sculpt, mold, and create stunning gold pieces with ease—perfect for rings, pendants, earrings, and custom accessories.

Key Features

• High Gold Content: 95% K22 gold powder mixed with non-toxic organic binder and water, firing to pure 22K gold (916 fineness) for durable, conflict-free eco-gold results.
• Malleable and Versatile: Soft, pliable clay that can be kneaded, rolled, carved, or shaped like traditional modeling clay; contracts about 15% during firing for precise designs.
• Kiln Firing Compatibility: Fires at 990°C (1814°F) for at least 60 minutes in a kiln; not recommended for torch firing to ensure optimal sintering and avoid breakage.
• Eco-Friendly and Safe: Made in Japan by Aida Chemical Industries using harmless pulp fiber binders that release only carbon dioxide and steam during firing; keep out of reach of children.
• Compact 3g Pack: Ideal for small-scale projects, with the option to create paste by adding water for repairs or decorative applications on silver clay or other surfaces.

Common Uses

• Jewelry Sculpting: Mold into rings, pendants, earrings, or wedding bands for high-value, custom gold jewelry that balances durability and purity.
• Decorative Accents: Convert to paste for joining pieces, mending joints, or adding gold details to fired silver clay, ceramics, porcelain, or glass.
• Artistic Crafts: Carve textures or create sculptural elements for mixed-media art, offering a soft yellow gold finish after polishing.
• Professional Repairs: Use as a bonding agent for gold-to-gold joins or to enhance silver clay pieces with luxurious gold overlays.

Why Choose Art Clay Gold K22 A-0123?

Crafted by Aida Chemical Industries, this 22K gold clay provides an accessible entry into precious metal artistry, yielding long-lasting, high-purity gold pieces without the need for advanced equipment beyond a kiln. Its water-based formula prevents sticking (rub hands with olive oil if needed), and it dries fully before firing—air dry for 24 hours or use a low-heat oven. Perfect for both hobbyists and pros seeking eco-gold alternatives for profitable or personal jewelry projects.

How to Use

1. Knead the clay with a few drops of water if stiff; shape, carve, or roll as desired.
2. Dry thoroughly (hair dryer, oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, or air dry 24 hours)—test on a mirror for no condensation.
3. Fire in a kiln at 990°C for 60 minutes; ensure accurate temperature to avoid melting (gold melts at 1063°C).
4. Polish the matte fired surface with a burnisher or sandpaper for a lustrous 22K gold shine; ventilate well during firing.
