Materials & craft
In short: fast-set AB putty captures a negative mold; silver clay is pressed in, dried, fired to metal, then brushed and polished—the nose texture is never sanded away.
Molding material
The AB molding putty we use has been checked against its safety data sheet (SDS) and the manufacturer’s intended use.
Silver clay
Silver clay becomes solid silver after drying and kiln firing, following the manufacturer’s drying and firing guidance. It shrinks naturally when fired, so the finished piece is slightly smaller than the real nose.
Structure options
- Drilled hole or embedded silver loop
- Back: smooth, with optional engraving
- Finish: wire brush plus partial or full polish
