What is polymer clay?

Polymer clay is a versatile, synthetic modeling material composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plasticizers, and pigments (for color). Once baked and cured, polymer clay becomes a durable and lightweight material suitable for jewelry and crafts. Our polymer clay jewelry is often painted, and mixed with gold flecks, and other materials.

Are polymer clay earrings heavy?

Polymer clay earrings generally weigh less than a quarter (or 2oz). Clay earrings are lighter than metal or ceramic alternatives. Please note, that earrings with metal accents will may be slightly heavier.
