I recently purchased this kit to try my hand at silver clay jewelry making. I have done lots of crafts in the past but this was new to me. I made sure to research how to use metal clay online before purchasing this kit so I knew what I was getting into. I also made sure to read all the instructions that came with this kit and managed to create something reasonably nice on my first go (second pendant is currently drying!). The kit comes in a nice box, for sure something you can give as a gift to someone. Although use of all products is explained in the leaflet, I would have preferred that all items came with manufacturer leaflets in English instead of Japanese (?) only. The kit contains many items, some you may end up not using, others you may find useful in the future. It's been a great way for me to get started with this as I only had to buy the gas and safety goggles elsewhere. I am now looking to buy some more tools and supplies to make more stuff so you could say I am hooked!

Brilliant kit, loved it

what a lot of goodies and all in a nice box! I'd taken a silver clay class, and wanted to play at home. Wasn't sure what I needed, so bought the deluxe kit, plus silver clay & silver clay paste, a baby drill, file, jump rings, burnisher and polishing papers. Its hard to define what should be in the kit, and there are things I've not used so far, but have made a pendant successfully, so made a start! Disadvantages of the kit: not everything is labelled - the screen shot before you buy, has items labelled, but in the box they are not, some of the items have labels and instructions in chinese, other items are just (unlabelled) in a plastic bag, the sizes of some of the things are a bit odd - the metal brush for example is much larger than I'd expect for jewellery. The kit only has 1 pack of silver clay & no silver clay paste. But two lots of moulding compounds (but no instructions) - so you have to start, by labelling everything, then looking it up and working out what to do! ****REPLY FROM METAL CLAY LTD*** Hi Anna, Thanks for your valuable feedback.
